Cry of Help

I rise before the dawning of the morning, and cry for help; I hope in Your Word.

Psalm 119:147

It's difficult to watch someone that you love who is hurting and in pain.  Life has been unexpected drama in our home. Sadly, I've been overwhelmed and worried.  I've spent sleepless nights staring at the ceiling instead of sleeping.  It is during these difficult times that I sometimes take the focus off God and focus on our problems. 

Tonight I'm meditating on Psalm 119:147 and desparately searching for other comforting scripture. Tonight is a night to review God's Word over and over in my mind.  I'll concentrate on Scripture rather than focusing my concern on the problem that I have no control over. 

When worry wakes you up, remember my friends, "The Word of God is living and powerful" Hebrews 4:12. Select a passage and mediate on it.  Our cares cannot compete with God's Word.  God is the only one who can still our hearts and quiet our minds. 

Dear Friends, if you would like to share some encouraging scripture, feel free to share them on this site. 

Blessings!

Pray without Ceasing

Pray without ceasing.  

1 Thessalonians 5:17

Lord knows I need to pray without ceasing.  So much drama has been boiling up in our family lately.  I guess it's no surprise when you have a teenager in the house.   To "pray without ceasing" does not mean praying without stopping or praying all day long.  I believe it means to adopt an attitude of uninterrupted personal relationship with God.  To have an awareness of His presence throughout the day.  We must be ready to apply God to all aspects of our lives.  Wherever we are and whatever we're are doing, God wants to be part of our every day lives.  Let's remember to take God with us the moment we wake each morning.  Always keep the prayer lines open!  Be blessed today!
