daily prayer

Good morning! How are we faithing? Look at these lyrics from the band Salvador I awoke hearing in my head this morning;

That the very same God
That dreamt of the oceans
and set the stars into place
Well he knows me by name
The very same God
That put the world into motion
Is listening today
He hears what I say
When I pray

How awesome is that?! A God who has the smarts and the love to create everything you see from DNA and smaller to the great redwood trees to those weird fish deep in the ocean knows my name and in fact, the hairs on my head are numbered like the Word says. Your problems are not insignificant to God. Your daily events do not go unnoticed by God. I don't profess to understand how that works but I take rest knowing it. Do you feel like you are alone floating on an old log in a huge sea of a tempest? Do you feel like you are the only one goofing up and you are berating yourself when you repeat actions? Well take a step of faith to a place where love really is, in the Fathers hands. You are not alone, seek his face. You are not the only one goofing up, pray to him. You will overcome, look to the one source that never fails. I want to encourage you to listen to him and recognise when the enemy tries to snatch that peace away. Your past, your current and your future is in his hands and the woe , regret and trepidation you feel is not what God is all about. Release from those things, peace that passes understanding, inner joy that makes us gleeful in the midst of everything only come from one source and it ain't an acid trip. Do you know Jesus or do you only know about him? Think about these things. The Word says ,"all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God" therefore you are not alone. Talk to him today. Seek his face, don't delay because we don't know what is around the next curve and it would truly suck if we missed him because we blew him off...

Isa 55:6-7
Seek the LORD while he may be found;call on him while he is near. Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts.Let him turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on him,and to our God, for he will freely pardon.
NIV

Remember Josh...remember Carl and Berta

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your love and wisdom. Lord we seek your face today and ask for healing in our souls. We acknowledge your sacrifice for us and ask you reveal yourself to the lost. Lord let us be vessels of blessings to the ones we meet. Help us convey what this faith is all about and not pick at specs while harboring a forest. Break us down so we can see your grace and love that raises us higher than we ever were or could be without you. Remove the things that cloud true vision from our eyes. Help us overcome the past hurts that hinder a true walk with you. Our trust is in you but our flesh gets in the way sometimes. Let us be so aware of your presence in our lives we cannot deny it. Be with those who are bitter and discouraged. Bless them so they find peace, in Jesus name, amen
