Beginning with Him

7 04 2016

My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.  Psalm 5:3

I want to begin today with the Lord. I want to take just a little time to pray and talk to Jesus.  I need to let Him know that I am thankful for His abundance of blessings.  I need to recognize who he is in my life.  I want to take a moment to read from His Word.  I want to take some to time to connect with the source of my strength and peace.  I have so many priorities and so many things on my to-do list.  My early connection with Him will allow His direction to permeate my day and keep me aligned with my purpose. As a start today, I want to begin with acknowledging the Lord in my life.  I want to begin with Him.

Prayer Changes Me

29 09 2015

2014-08-24 20.02.01My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.  Psalm 5:3

A dedicated time of prayer and fasting brings change. For me, that change starts in me. My prayers of gratitude and praise help me to acknowledge who God is in my life. He is my provider. He is Peace. He is love. He is my healer. He is my Savior. Meditating on these truths brings solace and conjures strength even during the most difficult situation. I can start a prayer in a harried, hurried mode but when I enter a time of reflection and meditation of who the Lord is my countenance changes. When I begin to think about God’s power, mercy and grace, my issues pale in comparison. During prayer changes occur from weak to strong, wounded to healed, fearful to peace, downcast to uplifted. I am so thankful that we serve a living God that we can talk to and God can talk to us. With an open heart, we can approach the Lord and talk to Him. He is always listening. He is always available and I am thankful.

Always be joyful.  Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. I Thessalonians 5:16-18
