Dear Lord,I bring you my shortcomings...It is so easy to feel overwhelmed and forget to look to you. I forget that with you by my side I can do ALL things...
I bring you my worship and praise...reminding me who you are, you gave me a chance to encourage a little christian brother (about 5 years old) as he starts to overcome fear of water while at swim lessons with my own little ones.
I bring you my prayer for...My friend, she has cancer, she is terminal, her husband dies a little inside each day with her, her son...only 12, seems to young to be without his mother. Yet you...O LORD and only you can heal what the doctors call terminal. The treatment she undergoes is tough...be with her. Her faith in you is strong, her love for you even stronger. Father, in the heart and words of her husband, please do not prolong her physical agony if you are taking her home to be with you.
You spoke to me... and reminded me to find joy in all circumstances. As I read the verse Rejoice in the Lord, again I say rejoice....I continued on reading and for the first time in a long time, the words "quench not the spirit" were heard. By not rejoicing...I drown out the spirit you have given to me as counselor and friend. Lord, You are so gracious.
