This has been ministering to me and my soul today:

Philippians 4:6-7

6- do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7- And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

I have had my contentment shaking for the last few weeks and I know part of it was not being obedient in coming to the Lord with my request, frustrations, joys, etc. I know there is a peace I find when I'm resting in the Lord that I can't find anyplace else even though the world and my flesh tell me otherwise. I thank you that you are loving and patient Lord that will keep me in line and constantly draw me back to you. There really isn't any other place I'd rather be then in your presence. Thank you Lord for loving me continuously.

@Vonnieluvs08... my mom shared that very Scripture with me this morning.. Amen!! :yep:

I'll also share another one that she gave and which I'm meditating on today:

Pslams 119:165
Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them (KJV)

Great peace have they who love Your law; nothing shall offend them or make them stumble. (Amplified)

Those who love Your law have (A)great peace, And (B)nothing causes them to stumble.
(NASB)

And I am realizing that You have been there. Habakkuk taught me that. I see clearer that the situation with this one is training for the next. It's not that far apart, actually. Just like the old one was training for what I have right now. And that maybe You had wanted it because You know all about me. You appear so visibly there and perhaps I should take it as a sign. Just like I didn't know how I'd get here, I'll get there. This is totally unexpected and I may be mistaken, but what I am not mistaken about is the compatibility. As they say, "never say never." Better, that Youe will is done. Thank You.

The funny thing about following someone is that you should abide by their philosophy. Hypocrisy runs both sides of the fence because to say that one should be free when one is called to a dedicated following is to say that one should not abide by the philosophy of the leader they have selected. Free choice to the individual is given, to follow or not. And in following the leader, it means he is up front and you are behind, observing his stride, his gait and taking notes to imitate his walk. It's not the other way around with him pushing you against your will.

If the path one chooses goes along a certain route that seems unnatural to the natural mind and it is beneficial, it's best to stay on the route as you reach a higher existence. Naysayers cannot help you in this endeavor. They are on their own path.

God is Love and He that dwells in Love dwells in God and God in Him. 1 John 4:16

I know and understand that without You living in me, I simply cannot obey Your Commandments, because Your Son has fulfilled the Law and it is through your Holy Spirit I obey. I need Your help, everyday. I need Your reproving, Your conviction. You are a jealous God and I put no other god before You. Lord bless all your Children today....pour out your Wisdom on us and please Lord let it Rain on us; repel what is not of You and have Mercy. We do not desire to be stumbling blocks for those who seek your Face. Let us not forget that our lives are a ministry for You, no matter where we are... even on the Internet. We will not forget Your Love. Help us Lord to minister your Word in Spirit and in Truth - NEVER with hate or fear, for those are outside of the boundaries of your Love. Your Body has but one pulse.

I Love you Lord today, with all my heart. :love2:

I think that we can express ideas without condemning another's take on the faith nor attempting to make them feel they are in some way inferior to one's own belief set. Praying them into your side is always going to be ineffective and unnecessary. The gifts we receive where we are should be sufficient that we feel safe and secure enough without forcing others. We should just accept there are differences and leave it at that, in kind expression as much as possible. I include myself.

God is Good! I was honored to see my niece graduate from high school and I'm so proud of this young lady. Feel a bit numb but not low in spirit, for it would've been good if her mom was still with us to see her daughter graduate. It's moments like these that make me cherish my Family....

Up listening to the word this morning online..may not be up to snuff to some uppity so called christians but some better than not listening to the word at all..baby steps..it may be years before I go into a church again but at least I can get the word the way I prefer..to the point..I know the church is suppose to help each other but all I have gotten is burnt..maybe one day I can find a church where I really feel like a viable member not just a bank account

Praise be to God..I am a new creature..

Can someone please give me a scripture on praying for one another???? OT and NT? If you pray and ask another to pray for you, how is that NOT trusting God?

I told myself I would say something positive everyday about my future.
I don't have a scripture, but I do remember reading that what we speak comes to pass or something like that...

I wanted to say that, I know that God will see me through this. He has always been there for me, and He won't give up on me now!

Matthew 18:19

Matthew 18:19
19"Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. 20For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them."


Exactly! How could I have forgotten that one. Plain and simple. I was caught off-guard. I think that when you just kindly ask someone to remember you in their prayers, a proper response is not "do you trust God or not? You should. Believe what He said. I've received "xyz" and He's never failed me yet." :ohwell: Not at all my intention and the tone was rather nasty. People need to remember to be kind, esp. when someone asks you to pray for them and never ever make assumptions about their faith. We never know when we'll be in need. Thank you for the scripture!!!

Today I had my own little church service..I love the word of God in spite of some naysayers..don't judge me on accordance of my words look at my actions and if your deeper look at the meaning behind my words if nothing else Im utterly frustrated with the world's affairs and my own..how could I allow such negative come out..God's will is going to happen no matter what you do..just embrace and know that God will have you to go through things that may hurt for his glory..

Thank you, Lord, for that. I know this is not the end of the blessing, but I am grateful You have given me a sign.












Thank you Blessed Mother for leading me to Jesus and being by my side. Thank you St. Jude for praying for me to Our Lord. I'm not ashamed of you.
