The Lord Stood With Me. 2nd Timothy by cjd-sign
We often go through challenges in our lives, but God is there all the
time. He is with our every step, our every tear, our every joy. He
stands by us. He is our rock and our shield. Today, think about all
the times in your life when you realized that God has been there. It
will make your heart glad and give strength to your soul. May Our Lord God bless each and everyone of you in this New Year! Blessings, CJD.Sign
When the pain is just to great to bear alone, turn your eyes upon Jesus. He endured pain, torture & suffering and Hid Father was there for Him. He is there for us too. God is not just a fly by night god. He is God, he can perform miracles. He does daily in our lives, though we may not recognize them as such. He may steer you clear of an accident, or keep you out of danger. And though the pain is now, and it is difficult, lean on Him. Tell Him your troubles. Ask Him for solutions. He is there, He is listening, He is your personal Counselor.
Today, I'm difficulty dealing with pain after neck epidural for pain. A catch 22, I'd say!
However, I know that I am not in this alone. Yes, my family and friends help to cheer me, hold my hand and tell me things will be better soon, but the one who is always there, the one who never leaves me for a moment is God. He is our Personal God. He has a Loving Relationship with us that can never be stripped away from us. So today, or when ever, if you are in pain or in need of some kind, call on Jesus. He is there, He is here for you.
We Walk By Faith by cjd-sign We walk by faith not by sight. 2 Corinthians 5:7 "5Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. 6Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: 7(For we walk by faith, not by sight:) 8We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord."
I've always done my prayer journals in notebooks, but after some thought I decided to come up with an online Prayer Journal. I encourage you to do the same. Online or in a Notebook, really it is just a place to keep all your prayer thoughts, thanksgivings, and your daily prayers together. Prayers of Thanks to God who without we would not have had this wonderful opportunity. This is a good lesson for letting go and starting anew. God does this in our lives, sometimes daily, upon reflection, and sometimes just occasionally. Taking out the old and bringing in the new. I can think of the many times I have wanted to cling to the old, familiar, and comfortable, but God is always changing me, melding & molding me. And it seems this process comes when we need it the most. Today, I Thank God for those changes, for the strength to get through each day and for the ability to try the new out! Thank you Lord Jesus for all you continually do to mold & shape me into a better Christian Woman. Thank You for taking me out of the ruts, the sticky situations and putting me back on track with the life you want me to live. I'm willing, but not always ready for the changes and I pray that you will hold me and guide me in way I should go. Your Loving Daughter,
