Prayers (Thinking out
loud)
Am I, are we really worthy of being part of this beautiful color
called life? Only you Christ have the
answers and you say yes, each day you allow us back up.
Why then do we miss the mark and put ourselves through so much unnecessary
brokenness?
Hold me Jesus and if you blow and make a wish letting the seeds
of light land anywhere. Let it be your
blessings growing me and all who may be nourished from the seeds of life
planted.
Love your children, raise them up to know moral value and teach
them right from wrong but most importantly show them what real love is. To do that you have to expose them, teach
them and love them through all that Jesus was, is and will be.
To do that you need to love yourself holding that moral compass seeking
the best you can with what you are given to work with in obedience to not be
perfect or judge those who want no part.
But fighting forward to find the light and be it ever step of the way
even if we think no one is watching.
Children never asked to be here.
So many throw away souls meant
for so much more in this world. We are
all broken people with demons fighting to take over of one form or another.
Our world was fallen before we ever got here. We all need something to believe in, we all
need hope. We all need Jesus who fills
the voids and closes the gaps and allows us to rest in his spirit to revive, be
reborn with hope and promise in each new day we are given.
Knowing nothing is ever promised easy and absolutely never
free. But the ability to have a full
life and not think we have to have what people say we should be, or that we
have life when we fill up with so much that in a blink of an eye the storms and
flood waters come and take it all away.
A wind blows, floods rage, or even just life itself taking everything including
any peace and hope for tomorrow when we put all we are in the things of
yesterday.
How do we balance? How we
do know what to do, what to hold onto or when to let go. How do we get back up when we learn how to
let go of that we put everything we are into what never will be?
Many will numb what they cannot stop feeling or even get
past. Many will die trying to do
so. Many will become angry, bitter, hateful,
and hurtful for the pain they cannot get past.
At what point do we just regain control and find who we are
created to be. Who we were created in
the image of God and although we may never admit, communicate, or walk with him? Find our way to peace in the darkest storm
when we push forward knowing He is everything, everywhere ready to take us to
places we will never understand.
He has called me and although I have always believed there was a
God, a greater power, that man upstairs.
It took years before I submitted and found myself meeting Jesus and
asking him to take over me. Back then,
today and any tomorrows I may be given.
I believe in the power.
I believe that Christ lives in those who hear God’s calling. And I am living proof that scars may change
how you walk, change how you listen, change how you look. But the scars of Jesus on that cross when
you accept him; you feel the wash over you every moment you know who you are because
of him.
Indescribable peace and love.
I wish I could physically prove and change the world for the
better. Not only for the future but even
right here right now. Washing away the
sickness of my own family members, healing for all that is broken or even all
the doubt and fear that Satan lies as he gets in our heads.
Fear is a liar making us doubt and react and robbing us from all
that is beautiful. Even in the worst
mistakes of your life. There is hope
and change waiting when we can see it, in that blind faith. When we reach past the troubles and exercise the
healing of any scars. Reaching out, reaching
up and knowing when we cannot see a light, we ignite the light deep within and
when the time is right it boldly shines forth for all those needing it.
Don’t give up. I fight
forward every single day I am given.
From missing loved ones. Worry
for sickness in my family or hearing good friends passed on; or the brokenness of choices that many cannot
recover. Never planning to be who I am
or where I am today. Better than some,
worse than others in the judgement meter of this world. But perfectly where God intends me to be.
Needing so much, yet strong enough in his blessings as I cling
to him first and always to lead me as I cannot do this on my own. Prayerfully in hope that all I connect find
the God of all things and Prince of Peace
to invite the Holy Spirit into their lives and start daily to learn,
grow and acknowledge who and what that
means.
What will you allow to be transformed and grow in the garden of
ashes called life?
You see we are called to and for more than just serving ourselves. And when we give all, we are back to God and
do our best with what we are given to work with. Planting seeds: it is not our job to continue
to wait, watch and get caught up in the weeds of life to make sure they grow or
freak out when they grow outside of our expectations.
Believing in the truth and giving it all back to God allows us
to just breathe and live. Even if; Even
when!
You don’t ever have to believe my thought process. Work on it for yourself and watch life
change.
Yes, there are many out there that were raised up believing in
Christ and then stopped for the weight of the world got to be too much and too
many things happened they thought God should not have allowed to happen. First no where is it promised that there
will never be hardships, hurts, hang-ups, and great loss. But what it does say through out that he will
help us through giving us peace and abundance through it all. So, before you quit, just breathe! Find him and make him know you are serious
and are ready for him to wrap his loving, healing abundance peace and direction
all through who you are for all remaining days.

“Self-Pity is a slimy, bottomless pit. Once you fall in, you tend to go
deeper and deeper into the mire.”
Psalm 40:2-3 He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the
mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of
praise to our God. Many will see and
hear and put their trust in the Lord.
Psalm 42:5 NASB Why are you in despair, O my soul?
And why have you become disturbed within me? Hope in God, for I shall praise Him for the
help of His presence.
Psalm 147:11 The Lord delights in those who fear him, who
put their hop in his unfailing love.
