Hello Friend - We have so much to be appreciative about on a daily basis.
We all go through good and bad times - but as we look around throughout
the day through the eyes of love, care and appreciation - we realise
there are so many wonderful things that going on in our lives that we
are appreciative of. We need to put our focus on the positive things
going on in our lives - and the negative things going on in our lives
are the things in particular that we should be taking to God in prayer.
I personally find great joy - and appreciation in listening to Hope Sabbath
School. What is Hope Sabbath School? It is a class of Christian believers
who weekly get together and discuss the wonderful stories/events/things etc
in relation to the Bible and our wonderful loving Lord. I encourage you
to google Hope Sabbath School and see if you enjoy listening to this
wonderful positive uplifting group of christians like I do. I recently listened
on podcast to the session on stress - and it was so wonderful - I just loved it.
Let's pray
Dear Kind and Loving Lord
We come to you today with undescribeable appreciation of the many things
you have done for us. You have given us this day - with the wonderful
opportunities to tell our families/loved ones how much we love them.
We can laugh with them, we can hug them, we can drive them around,
we can cook for them, we can watch them play their sports, we can
encourage them, we can worship with them - for the loved ones that
haven't accepted you as yet as their loving, caring, forgiving Lord - we
have the opportunity to witness to them and pray for them. For those
of us who have lost loved ones - we have your comfort, strength, love
and support to walk with us as we grieve, try to deal with our broken
hearts - and move forward step by step in life. We thank you that we
won't always have pain, sorrow, tears and broken hearts. We thank you
that you have an amazing positive glorious future in store for us - where
we will have fun, laughter, happiness and peace...walking those golden
streets of heaven - where there will be no more sorrow, nor pain, nor
tears.
You love us Lord with such an amazing love. Your love and comfort
gives us strength - with you all things are possible. You are our
rock and our salvation. You are our understanding friend - you are
not standing by waiting to pick faults with us - instead you say -
Come as you are - I love you....If you accept me into your life -
I will give you the power to make all the positive changes in
your life you need. Stop worrying, stop fretting, look around -
I love you so much - I created the many beautiful things in nature
just for you - Look at the trees, the flowers, the birds, the lions, the
tigers, the dogs - a mans best friend - I created nourishing food for
you to eat - and healthful drinks for you to drink. My favourite part
of the day is when you come to seek me out - through reading my
bible - so you come to know me better - and when you spend time
in prayer with me. I am your own very best friend.
We know Lord that you only want the best for us. Your character
shows what an awesome, wonderful, powerful, loving, caring forgiving
God that you are - and we are the luckiest people ever - to be able
to call you our understanding friend, comforter, rock, protector
Saviour and coming King.
Help us Lord not to waste one hour - being negative - and being in a state
of worry. Help us to invite you into our lives and trust you, lean on you,
appreciate all the many gifts that you shower on us each day - and may we
remain motivated to spread your love - the good news - that Jesus is alive,
Jesus cares - and Jesus loves us - just as we are.
Walk with us Lord - and help us stay focused, loving, kind,
caring and forgiving - helping the down and out, the lonely, the sad, the lost,
the rich, the poor, the unbeliever - let your love so shine through us - that
others will want to know you - You who is the greatest treasure - there ever
was and is. Amen.
FRIEND - I HAVE INVITED THE LORD INTO MY LIFE - WON'T YOU INVITE HIM
INTO YOURS ALSO.
I LOVE LISTENING TO A GREAT FEMALE PREACHER ON UTUBE CALLED JOYCE MEYER -
MAYBE YOU WOULD LIKE TO CHECK HER OUT - AND SEE IF SHE INSPIRES YOU LIKE SHE INSPIRES ME - WE ARE FROM DIFFERENT FAITHS - BUT THAT IS OK - WE ARE ALL GODS CHILDREN - HE LOVES US ALL - FROM THE BOTTOM OF HIS HEART. THERE ISN'T ANYTHING GOD WOULDN'T DO FOR YOU OR FOR ME - HASN'T HE ALREADY PROVEN IT FRIEND - BY GIVING UP HIS
ONLY BEGOTTEN SON - SO THAT YOU AND I HAD A CHANCE OF LIVING A POSITIVE HAPPY ETRNAL LIFE.
ALL WE HAVE TO DO - IS SAY YES LORD - COME INTO MY HEART - AND LEAD THE WAY. I WILL FOLLOW YOU. I GUARANTEE YOU THAT GOD WANTS FAR MORE GREATNESS FOR YOU - THAN YOU COULD POSSIBY WANT FOR YOURSELF - SO WHY NOT INVITE THE LORD INTO YOUR LIFE/HEART RIGHT NOW - AND REST IN HIS LOVE - KNOWING A WONDERFUL FUTURE IS ASSURED
GOD BLESS:-)
