daily prayer

   Good morning! How are we faithing this fine day?  Who heals your heart and mind? Who heals your spirit? I hope and pray it's God and not the bottle, a vice or stuff. We all carry baggage from the past and we all have some damage because of it. Some are bad and some just a pain in our rumps.  Recognizing where the roots of anger, lies, and even plain old dissatisfaction are growing allows us to dig up those roots and deal with them. There are some things we make into bigger things than they ought to be and this is our selfish nature coming out. Many times our perceived anguish is self inflicted.  Reading the Word to find real truth does indeed help us approach those things that slap us down or hinder us as it were.  As soon as you recognize a root, deal with it. With a quick prayer for protection so the father of lies can't take away the realization, then be honest with yourself and call whatever it is what it is. Squashing it down and "manning up" is not prudent most times and begets all sorts of inner struggles that take our eyes off God. Be quick to pray and to give over these things to Jesus, he's bigger and a whole lot smarter than you or I. When we uproot that root that we've buried deep, we can face it regardless of how painful it is and only then can we defeat it.


 Heb 12:15
  looking carefully lest there be any man that falleth short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby the many be defiled;



remember Pam...remember Tom...remember Jerry's hip...remember our leaders...

Heavenly Father,
  Thank you for your Word that strengthens me. Lord we ask for any bitter root that is buries in us come out. We stand on your Word and promises that you will heal us. Help us see that root that grows discontent and malice and help us remove it from the soil. Help us deal holy with that root that slays us. In Jesus name, amen
