A Prayer for Clarity

-

Our little 1 year old is coming to visit soon!
 

A friend was in my dreams last week and then the next morning her name popped up on PrayerMate, so I texted to see what I could specifically pray for.  Her request clarity.  I wrote her a prayer and have tweaked it a bit for you and for me!

Father, only you understand the choices we each face.  You see what is going on in each of our  lives at the deepest level.  Fill us with discernment and clarity of mind as we make decisions as to what honors You. 

Don’t allow us to be influenced by the world, but guided by the Holy Spirit in all that we are called to do. Keep us from growing weary, unless You are using weariness as a tool to lead us elsewhere.  Help us rest well at night and awaken each day to live out Romans 12:2 and “be transformed by the renewing of our minds” so that we work out your will in every situation we are called to speak into.


Remind us this battle is not against flesh and blood, although it certainly may seem that way at times.


Father we know how much you love us and care about our state of mind and the choices we make.  Assure us when we call out to You, that we can be confident You will answer in your perfect time.  Help us submit to your ways even when they are hard and say, “Not my will, but your will be done Father.”


Be a light unto our paths and show us where to step next. In Jesus’ name Amen.


God’s Word is a light and a sword!


For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and of a sound mind.                      2 Timothy 1:7


Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy-meditate on these things.  Philippians 4:8


And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.  Colossians 3:15  


Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.  Pslam 46:10

She Fought the Good Fight

February 27 Bible Gateway's verse yesterday was: This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him . 1 John 4:9 A fitting verse for the day my everyday friend, soul sister, monster of the faith and mischievous partner in crime, Kaye, left this world behind and headed to her heavenly home. My husband was able to be by her bedside and said he knew she heard the words of our faith that he shared. Her sweet daughter held the phone up to her ear so I could say good-bye and the brightest single star you have ever seen shown through my bedroom window as she exited this earth! Yesterday, my heart literally ached so badly that I told the Lord, "Take me too!" Wouldn't she have been surprised if I had snuck up on her in heaven and said, "Thought you were going somewhere without me, did ya." When we received the call she was ready to go, I called out to the Lord for comfort and He led me to the Bible Gat

Marriage Matters #1

One of life's deepest hurts is when the one you love is unfaithful. Forty years ago, I remember an older friend, whose wife had been unfaithful and left him for another man saying to me..."Boo, I hope you never experience having the person you love and are married to, living 8 blocks away loving someone else." Deep hurt. They divorced. The wife of another friend of ours was having an affair with a fellow church member and a neighbor of theirs who lived 5 blocks away. She moved in with this man and our friend said one evening he was walking by the house where they were living together and saw them sitting at a table having a candlelight dinner. Ugh. The torment. I've always said it would be aweful to find out the person you were married to and  loved deeply loved another.  Hmm. We are the bride of Christ.  Is He our first love? 2 Peter 2:14 says: They have eyes full of adultery, insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed

Are You Sinking... Being Tossed About?

  A text came in from our neighbor recently, on a cold blustery day, when I was home with a stomach bug and awful headache. He said, "My canoe blew off our dock and has floated over to your shore."  And I'm thinking..."And you want me to do what?" I explained my husband was at work, but could help in the afternoon. I went to the window and could see the boat being tossed back and forth along our shore line. One minute it was close to our main dock and the next the winds had shifted and it was 200 feet in the opposite direction.  What I then realized is it had been taking on water. A text came again that he was in his car and driving around to our property.  Climbing out of my night shirt, I put on warm ups, UGGS boots and a hooded coat and limped outside to see how I could help. When I arrived to the shore line, the neighbor had tossed a 3 prong hook tied to a rope into the boat and was pulling it to the shore with one hand.  He had recently had hand surgery and
