daily prayer

   Good morning! How are we faithing? I hear complaining all the time that current circumstances suck. I hear whining over life not being what one thought it should be. Chatter about so and so not holding up to ones standard just waifs through the air. People, stop for a second. Did you forget the things in your past that you overcame? Did you forget that God is in charge and knows what is best and wants to give his best to you? Have you not realized that what you want may be ok but God always has the right plan and even though you may not get what you want, you'll get something better? Get with it man! Stop looking at the half empty glass and realize it's half full. Start looking at things and look for the lesson. Any darkness isn't of God but if we trust him completely we will score a victory. Stop and look at what God is giving and not what you think you lack...

James 1:2-4

Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
NAS

James 5:7-9
Be patient, therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious produce of the soil, being patient about it, until it gets the early and late rains. You too be patient; strengthen your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand. Do not complain, brethren, against one another, that you yourselves may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing right at the door.
NAS

1 Peter 5:9-10
And after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you.
NAS

James 1:5
But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all men generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
NAS

Remember Julie Harlow...remember Harold Markey...remember Mike...remember Di and Em...
 
Heavenly Father,
  Help us see truth and accept it. Help us not throw fits when our way isn't done. Lord, forgive our shortsightedness and help us recognise your better plans when ours fall through. Help us trust so completely we deem problems but mere distractions and chances for us to grow. Lord we lift our concerns and requests today and ask your will be done and that we see the light, in Jesus name, amen
