Praise The Lord with me today.

Come, let us sing to the Lord ! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come to him with thanksgiving. Let us sing psalms of praise to him. For the Lord is a great God, a great King above all gods. He holds in his hands the depths of the earth and the mightiest mountains. The sea belongs to him, for he made it. His hands formed the dry land, too. Come, let us worship and bow down. Let us kneel before the Lord our maker, for he is our God. We are the people he watches over, the flock under his care. If only you would listen to his voice today!

Never to far gone.

I love that song. But i don’t often hear it’s message as true for me.

Lately I have super struggling with my past. I mean its been a full on mental and spiritual war.

One that is not over yet, but this last week as I’ve been reading this bible devotional , i can feel the enemies slight retreat.

I’ve made ALOT of mistakes. Two that haunt me constantly. I put pressure on my self becsuse I feel like growing up in “the church” I should have known better.

But the truth is ive only just in the last 3 years or so really come to know God & Jesus.

So at times I feel overwhelmed by the weight of my sin (different song 😁)

But today I was reminded of Jesus love and he wants me to remind you.

It doesn’t matter what you have done. As the song says – you are never to far gone.

Prayer for kids

I was given

“The Power of The praying Wife ( registered trademark) by Stormie Omartian”

as a wedding present from my mentor. I really enjoyed the book and soon after I purchased

“The Power of The Praying Parent ( registered trademark) “

by her as well. I read through each chapter said the prayers and have marked ones that I like best. I go through and read prayers from the book several times a week. I read those prayers as I lay hands on my husband and children to pray over them. They are wonderful prayers with scripture tools added in. I highly recommend them.

I have however notice lately that her “Power of The Praying Parent (RT) prayers seem sort of irrelevant in today’s world. It’s not surprising it was originally written in 1995!

Granted many of the topics are timeless and could never go out of style. But as my kids are growing and I’m seeing certain struggles or things I want to pray for them on I realize there was a current element missing from the book so I decided to write some of my own prayers for my boys modeled after Stormies. She has such a great way of speaking life into her prayers for others that I can’t think of anyone I’d rather model my prayers after. She filter scripture in so effortlessly that it’s a great combination.

So I wrote One about making sure my boys work hard and work for the Lord. And I’m working on coming up with one for freedom from technology and social media. I’m excited to see how I can use this amazing prayer warriors timeless techniques to really apply to my boys lives and become a true prayer Warrior for them.

Who knows? Maybe if things go well I can write some for my husband and others.

Good Reminder

This is such a good reminder for me today. I have been really struggling with some of my co-workers. Two of them I feel have been really disrespectful. I need to let go of the anger and up my pride that I’m feeling toward them.

I think the world would be better overall if we all we’re just a little less selfish and thought a little more of others in big ways and small.
