Like a heavy wet blanket is over me and I haven't had much omp to do anything nor to engage many people on any level. But, instead of going to people the Lord drew me to Himself instead - just like in the past. And once again, He has been a faithful Father. I have dug once again deeper and deeper into the Word and prayer. Things I can't control He has reminded me that He has control of; things I see no hope in, He remind me that He is Hope; and emotions that want to drown me, He reminds me that I can lay them on Him and He will be gentle in How He deal with them. <br /><br />A couple of prayers based on scripture that have been encouragements to me....<br />Like the Apostle Paul, help me to serve You, Lord, with great humility and with tears, even when I am severely tested. (Acts 20:19)<br /><br />O Lord, my God, though I walk in the midst of trouble, You preserve my life; You stretch out Your hand against the anger of my foes, with Your right hand You save me. You, Lord, will fulfill Your pourpose for me; Your love, O Lord, endures forever - You wil not abandon the works of Your hands. (Ps 138:7-8)<br /><br />Help me to dwell in the shelter of YOu, the Most HIgh, so that I may rest in Your shadow, Almighty One. Cover me with Your feathers, and help me to find refuge under Your wings. Let Your faithfulness be my shield and rampart. Help me not to fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day. (Ps 91:1, 4-5) Help me to make You, the Most High, my dwelling and let no harm befall me nor disaster come near my tent. Thank You, Father, for commanding Your angels concerning me to guard me in all my ways. (Ps. 91:9-11)SheBelievesGodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09337155532864780816noreply@blogger.com
