I must trust

giving my life to Jesus
to my blessed Savior
turning from a path
I chose for myself
giving my life to Jesus
yoked with my Savior
sharing the words I am gifted
answering the Spirit’s call

chains of comfort
of not going farther
of never striving

pushing forward
beyond our comfort;
striving forward

my inner story – v2

gentle truths playing
in my mind
changing the story
of my path
gentle truths playing
changing the pattern
the lies of the world
overcome by God’s love

the soundtrack, the tape loop
my inner story
what I believe about myself
the words, adjectives,
nouns of definition
the constant chatter
in my mind

the soundtrack, the tape loop
my inner story
what I believe about myself
changed by the promise
that I am loved
that God loves me
and that He sent His Son.

only by your grace
held in your loving arms
safe from the world

Prayer received in email this morning 03/03/2010

Rather than forwarding my email to four friends, as the email instructed me to do, I thought I would share it with everyone. We all can use this prayer. Love, Ray


Father, I ask You to bless my friends, relatives
and those for whom I care deeply, who are reading this right now.

Show them a new revelation of your love and power.

Holy Spirit, I ask you to minister to their spirit at this very moment.

Where there is pain, give them your peace and mercy.

Where there is self-doubt, release a renewed confidence through your grace.

Where there is need, I ask you to fulfill their needs.

Bless their homes, families, finances, their goings and their comings.

In Jesus' Precious name.

Amen.
