“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” ~ Psalms 119:105 Good morning! Ahhhh…time change is not very fun to deal with, the weather is VERY damp, cold and windy….stumbled down the stairs and sprained one of my toes, missing my hubby because he’s required to work overtime this Sunday morning…. BUT today is the Lord’s day! Yippee! I feel so blessed to get to go to church today. So grateful for the freedom and privilege that I get to go! Don’t take that privilege for granted….get out and go to the house of the Lord today! Psalms 119:105 came to my mind…

Day 9 – What to Do When You're Sinking in Trouble
“Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.” ~ John 14:1 The first thing I said this morning when my eyes popped open was, “Good morning, Lord!” Immediately the verse from John 14:1 popped into my head. So, I felt that the Lord was leading me to use this verse today because I need it — and I know someone out there needs this verse for encouragement as well. The Words that Jesus spoke, “Let not your heart be troubled,” are so comforting. We often hear the verse quoted solo, but what’s amazing is the verses that follow. They’re the very reason why our…

Day 8 – The Solution to Every Problem and Answer to Every Question
“For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.” ~ Proverbs 2:6 [caption id="attachment_4118" align="alignright" width="164"] God has the answer, just pray![/caption] Have you ever heard that saying, “God helps those who helps themselves“? It doesn’t mean that we ought to just figure things out for ourselves. It does imply; however, that we need to take action. We don’t just pray and then sit around waiting for God to do all the work. If we do our part, God’s more than willing to do His part — the part that we can’t do on our own. Sometimes it’s difficult know what we should do next, or…

Day 7 – Don't Trust Worldly Wisdom That's Not Backed Up by God's Word
“He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.” ~ Proverbs 28:26 kjv How are you? Hope all is well with everyone today. This is my 7th day to focus on Prayer and learn more about prayer from God’s Word. I’m going to try to keep my posts a bit shorter if possible, mainly because I can easily get quite wrapped up in writing and then find that I’ve spent way too much time on my computer. So, hopefully I can “shorten” up my posts some. 😉 Update: I’ve had a prayer answered. Praise God! God is in the “answering” business….and…

Day 6 – Run, Run, Run to the Safety Zone!
Can you recall a time when something scared you really bad? And then, when the situation was resolved you felt such relief? Have you ever had a bad dream that found you in a miserable situation, and you felt such comfort knowing it was “just” a dream when you woke up? You felt safe again. It felt good to be safe. Our Heavenly Father is a strong tower to provide us with relief, comfort and safety. I love Proverbs 18:10 that reminds us there is a strong tower to RUN, RUN, RUN to when we’re in trouble. It’s our safety zone. By the way, that strong tower isn’t just for…
