Happy Tuesday!
This spring break is
going too fast!!!
Prayer: Holy One, let us sit quietly with You and
simply soak in Your Presence. As
friends, neither of us needs to speak to know the other is there. Thank you for
taking the time to be with us and stay with us when we hurt, when we are in
want, when we are happy and glad and when we just need to be quiet and do not
want to be alone. Thank You for
breathing out Your Holy Spirit on each one of us and allowing us to breathe in
Your peace. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in
everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to
God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your
hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4: 6-7
Tonight my
daughter-in- love (Sarah) asked for prayer for a test she has been studying
for. She made this request via Facebook. I prayed for her online. I prayed for her to get some rest, to lay
this test in the arms of the Savior and to take a breath, say a prayer if she
gets stuck and what she needs will be given to her.
Being close to God
brings joy not only in our lives, but in the heart of God. When we focus our
thoughts on God then we experience Peace, Joy and the Unfailing love of
our Creator, our Savior and Sovereign Lord.
Living close to God
is living a transcendent life. Living a
transcendent life is allowing God to so embrace our lives that we are willing
to change to be more like Him. We live this life each time we bring our
troubles, struggles, disappointments, fears and failures to the foot of the
throne of grace saying, “I trust You, Jesus. You are my hope.” Voicing these short prayers allows us to live
a transcendent life because they keep us in constant contact with the Savior of
the world. Let us not let the
circumstances of our lives confine or condemn us, but let Jesus become so close
to us that we become overcomers.
Take joy in this
Lenten journey of hope. Wear comfortable shoes, throw an extra blanket on the
bed, pray with a heart filled with gratitude and get some sleep. Love you all,
Bruce, Gaylene, Geni, Travis and Sarah.
I am not moved by
what I see. I am not moved by what I feel. I am only moved by what I believe
and I believe God.
