John 14:27
“...My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
Do you ever feel like your faith is being endlessly challenged? Every day is another hurdle? Each leep is higher than the last? Do ever wonder what God is trying to show you or teach you?
Over the weekend, on top of the financial, real estate, payroll, employee, and professional pressures I have been grinding through over the last few months, a new stress showed up: a health issue. Good grief. I guess I’m not as physically invincible as I thought.
I’ve spent much of the day in serious prayer. What is it, Lord? What am I doing, or what am I NOT doing that You wish me to do? How am I being, or NOT being, that You call me to be? Where do You want me to go or NOT go?
He hasn’t (yet) provided the anwer(s), but I know He will if I proceed in faith and I am not afraid. I have to trust Him with outcome and trust in His wisdom. It’s what we must do every day, with every area of our lives.
Today’s prayer
Dear Father, I trust that You are always with us, through every challenge. Lord, we are committed to the work You have given us to do and we will strive on, no matter what it takes and no matter what the enemy puts in our way. Lord, we do our best; but some days, the tests are more difficult than others. Be with us; heal us; take away our burdens; You say in Your word to cast all our worries on You (1 Peter 5:7). Why? Because You care for us and You watch over Your children. I pray for healing and restoration for myself and for all those who are here with us today and forevermore. We ask in the name of the Lord, this or something better. Amen
2 Cor. 12:9. I know how you must know how loved you are. The Lord IS directing your steps and mind. I know this is true due to how you touch my life with your voice and faith. Sometimes just to stay the course is all that is necessary, which is faithfulness. I time of fasting and prayer cannot be despised. Mt. 6:34 is very true as we rest and wait. As I begin to see the leaves turn and fall from the trees, I think of “In season and out of season”. The end is closing in, but our Lord is sovereign and He is not mindful of time as we are. It has taken me many years to stop fussing about time. You are covered by prayers, Miss Sherri, and He is Faithful with you in the palm of His hand and is perfectly capable of speaking to your next direction.
Sending ongoing prayers and big hugs!💗🙏🙏🙏
