Greetings
from Austin Street
Happy
Monday! All is well here at 811.
Treatment 14 down and 20 to go.
Dear God,
I cannot even begin to imagine the awesome power you hold. Thank you for
expending it for my good and your glory. Thank you for inviting me to experience your
wonderful love. I long to know you better and experience your encouraging and
satisfying presence. Thank you that when
problems seem to come one on top of another I can find shelter in your Presence
and feel your love surrounding me. Please Lord continue to heal Daddy. Thank you
that he came home today. Please sustain him through the nights and days to
come. I love you Lord. In Jesus name, amen.
The opening
sentence of my devotional reading tonight states, “Responsibilities and
struggles can drain your energy and emotions.”
I wanted to ask, “Has this writer been looking in my window?” Stress was building and I found myself crying
out for help. The good news about crying out for help is that God hears our
prayers and wants nothing more than to help us when we cry out. Before we
decide to ask God for help we walk in fear and after we ask for help peace
enters our hearts because we no longer carry the burden or problem alone. When
we ask for help we are furthering our commitment to God trusting that God will
be there to help us when we cry out to Him.
When we find shelter in the presence of God we experience the
fulfillment of His love. In the shelter of the love of God we praise Him for
bringing peace to our weary souls and faithfully trust that God will work
everything out for our good and His glory and in His time.
“O God, you are my God, and I long for you. My whole
being desires you; like dry worn-out, and waterless land, my soul is thirsty
for you.”
Psalm 63: 1
“You satisfy me more than the richest feast. I will
praise you with songs of joy.”
Psalm 63: 5
Take joy in
the journey and it is okay to cry out for help because God wants to help us.
Wear comfortable shoes, say an extra prayer for Daddy and think pink. Love you
all, Bruce and Gaylene
