Assurance - Promise, Theme Praying

Hold On Room

Gallery 1 Comment

First thing in my journal this morning was a request for help.

And the first Scripture I read was this:

13 For I, Yahweh your God, hold your right hand and say to you: Do not fear, I will help you.

via Is 41 HCSB – The LORD versus the Nations’ Gods – Bible Gateway.

Not all answers and assurances come that quickly but when they do the proper response is gratitude and holding on to the promise. I’m  delighted to share my Scripture with you this morning and there is plenty of hold on room for you too.

I know. Some answers are long in coming. And when they are our response must be the same: gratitude and holding on to the promises. 

Hold on today! Or perhaps it is one of those days when you just can’t hold on? That’s okay.  LET Him hold YOU today.

Praying for sisters and brothers to LET Jesus hold them today.

ABBA, thank You. You are awesome. You listen. You hear. And You answer when Your children call. Thank You for answering our fears with Your very own voice. And You say do not fear, I will help you. And there is nothing too small or too large. You help with it all. Thank You. Dawn. Help her today do all that demands to be done. And there are others. Many others, ABBA. Thank You for helping us. Thank You in JESUS name.

Blessings to you Dear Friends    +++

Two quick things this morning.

One.  A prayer theme for today.

Equal Awakenings

Awakenings equal to the needs and messes in our lives and the lives of those we love and are trying to love.

Two. A Scripture to carry with us today:

20 Guard me and deliver me; do not let me be put to shame, for I take refuge in You.
21 May integrity and what is right watch over me, for I wait for You.

via Ps 25 HCSB – Psalm 25 Dependence on the LORD – Bible Gateway.

ABBA, thank You for always hearing our prayers. Lee and every soul affected. Israel. America. The election. Equal awakenings, ABBA, for each of us and for every one we hold dear and especially for those we are trying to hold dear.  Thank You for this word from Your WORD. Help us hold it dear and be guided and guarded by remembering and applying it this day. We invite and even expect You to watch over us today, guarding, correcting, loving, providing, forgiving, and growing us in the likeness of JESUS today.

I’m just not much in a writing mood. Not sure why. Just not. BUT I am in the mood to share other folks writings.  Like my You Version devotion for this morning. Take a look.

THE WAVES

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale told of a trip he took on a sailboat in the Near East. The skipper told him, “The ocean is a tremendous force, and our ship is only a small force. But, we know how to make our little engines adapt themselves to the timing of the waves so we are practically carried along by the sea.”

Praying could be defined as adjusting ourselves to the plans and timing of God. When Sennacherib threatened Judah, Hezekiah first went to God (2 Kings 19:14-19). There was a childlike simplicity in the king’s faith. He took the threatening letter and spread it out before God to read. It is as if he said, “Okay, what do we do about it?”

This same childlike faith should be ours in this modern world. Our frustrations and anxieties should be spread out before God for His direction. As we adjust our lives to God’s plan and timing, we find we are carried along by His power. This puts to highest use the forces of our own lives to meet the battles of life. Hezekiah and his people were delivered, and so shall we be.

Is that good or what?

And if you have some more time for reading, please go visit my Friend Elaine. The post is entitled: The Woman I No Longer Need to be . . .

You might find yourself on the page. 

ABBA, perhaps some sisters are not much on doing what they usually do, whatever good thing that is that seems to have lost some luster – guide us I pray. Guide us to coming to Peace with who we are now and resting in Your promise that You are not finished with us yet. Yes. Israel. America. The Election. Truth to prevail. Evil to be exposed. Repentance. Dori. Kerri. Pam M. Pam K. Sharron and Others.  As a dear soul used to say, ‘take a reading on our hearts’, ABBA. See what’s there, see the needs and meet them. See the love and concern for others and express it through us. See the need to love others and the need to express Your love and change us to do it. Safety and protection. Transformations for That One and This One. And let our hearts be not troubled but believe YOU, LORD JESUS in all things.
