Good evening, I pray your day has been a good one, I pray that you have had spiritual time today and that this evening has afforded you to take some time for yourself. Time for you is so very important, we tend to get so wrapped up in our day to day "junk" in caring for everyone else, in going, going, going, and doing, doing, doing....just please remember that if we do not maintain our automobiles they will eventually quit running! Take care of you so that you can continue being the kind, loving, example of Christ that you are!
Today has been a hard day for me, my lupus seems to be trying to take my body over and I am aching from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet! Ugh, I hate days like this, but I know with prayer and rest and less stress it will be better! I have been basically laying around doing not much of anything today and am praying that tomorrow will be a better day for me! Thank goodness for heating pads and a sweet loving Wayde who takes such good care of me when I am "down."
In prayer tonight I said my usual prayers asking our Father in Heaven to bless and give mercy to each and every person in need this night, to hold each of us and protect us! I asked him to guide us in our doings each day and to keep us filled with hope that things will get better. I know of several people battling with terminal illnesses and who are really struggling with pain and fear, please Father hold them in your arms give them relief in body and in spirit! I prayed for you and yours, for those who are struggling with depression, lack of faith, with internal fires that seem to be raging out of control, with confusion and with lack of self! Father please fill each of us with peace, calm and comfort and please bless my daughter and her unborn baby with strength and health. God we love you, we know that with you in our corner all things are possible and we know that the sacrifice you made allows us to repent and to be forgiven when we make poor choices, I stand in awe of all of the blessings you provide me and I thank you for being my Father in heaven. In Jesus' name ask mercy, grace and blessings for all, amen.
All afternoon the song "You Raise Me Up" has been on my mind, I am going to print the words to the song as I know our Father in heaven is needing me to share these words with you or perhaps he is just needing me to see the words in print, either way I will never deny a prompting when it is given me!
When I am down and oh my soul, so weary.
When troubles come and my heart burdened be.
Then I am still and wait here in the silence,
until you come and sit awhile with me.
You raise me up so I can stand on mountains,
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas.
I am strong when I am on your shoulders,
you raise me up to more than I can be.
Wow I did not realize there is really on two verses here and the others are all repeats of the second one. I get it though, when we I am down and my soul is weary, when my troubles and my heart is burdened, all I can do is sit in the silence and meditate, all I can do is spend time with him because I know that when I am low, I am humble..when I am humble my heart is more receptive to his presence and I can see and hear more clearly. He does raise me up to stand on mountains, he does help me come through stormy seas, I am strong when I am on his shoulders and he gives me sight that I can be so much more! I pray if you are needing any motivation that you will listen to this song and know that if you do sit in the silence and tell him how you feel, what you are thinking and were your short comings are...he will raise you too! God bless each of you with love and laughter, may the coming week be filled with only good things and may blessings be in abundance for you and yours!
