daily prayer

  Good morning! How are we faithing? Are you struggling with life right now? Are things turning huge that ought to be nothing but a speed bump in your ride through life? I hear you man and you ain't alone. Some of the things that get us so worked up in all actuality are a whole lot less important than we've made them.  Feelings getting hurt can sure turn mole hills into pikes peak. That doesn't diminish the hurt but reacting to pain can cause more pain if we don't pause for reflection and prayer. Jesus taught love above all. Paul taught about compassion and charity in our hearts so we can deal with issue over pain.  It isn't always easy especially when one feels like they are being attacked. It is tough to learn to maintain focus in the midst of turmoil but it is the wisest way we can act.  To many times we can act on bad feelings with righteous indignation when in all actuality no reaction at all other than love works miracles. This is not to say that we don't act or react at all but the art of pause and reflection with a look beyond the immediate can save future perpetuation of hurt. I'm as guilty as any one but I am learning to not make decisions when I'm ticked off. Someday I hope to conquer this and with the Holy Spirit I know advancement will continue to come.



Eph 3:13-21
  Wherefore I ask that ye may not faint at my tribulations for you, which are your glory.  For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father,  from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,  that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that ye may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inward man;  that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,  may be strong to apprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,  and to know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled unto all the fulness of God.  Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, unto him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus unto all generations for ever and ever. Amen.

Heavenly Father,
  Forgive us our sins please!  Help us see truth and wisdom that you show.  Lord we ask for a calm assurance come over us when we are about to act uncomely or unwise. Help us see truth and make choices that are best even if they hurt for awhile. Lord we lift those mentioned and ask for a healing of the total person and a healing of spirit and mind, in Jesus name, amen
