daily prayer

Good morning! How are we faithing? What a nice weekend here! 50's and time to walk the woods and soak up the sunshine! God's handy work is just so awesome and it never ceases to amaze me. With all the things in nature that work together I sometimes have to stop to remember to trust God and his design on my life even when all seems a little weird. I know I can trust him and not totally rely on my own understanding because how could I possibly know what the guy who created the atom out of nothing that eventually became that deer or that tree or even me? The Word tells us to seek God in all decisions we make. It tells us not to "lean" on our understanding, it doesn't say don't use it. He gives us our understanding and our capability to understand so don't be depressed or butt hurt when you cant figure things out or nothing makes sense. Lean on him because without him, we would have no understanding at all. We would be floundering with earthly wisdom and I don't know about you but when I look around, earthly wisdom isn't all that impressive....

Prov 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
NIV

1 John 5:14-15
This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us-whatever we ask-we know that we have what we asked of him.
NIV

Col 1:13-14
For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
NIV

Remember Missy's grandson Evan...Sheppy Cler...John and Lori Jay...Ann Shepard...and I wrote down someones C-section today, but I can't read who...

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for the confidence we get from your Word. Lord, help us seek your wisdom in all we do. Help us be mindful of your presence today. Help us realize you have a plan for each of us even though we may not see it. Teach us to be reflections of you with peace and confidence of our salvation. We lift those mentioned and those who need you today. Heal pain, rest bodies, clear minds and above all, grow our trust and confidence in your ways in Jesus' name, amen
