How to Offend God

Praise God. Thank you for blessing me to wake this morning. Lord I pray that any thoughts or actions that are offensive to you, I confess my sins to you. Forgive me for any wrongdoing.

Dear God, thank you for your Grace and Mercy. I am not proud and arrogant to think that I have not caused harm and hurt. Forgive me for my sins. Keep me safely wrapped in your loving arms. Heal me through this time. Help me to do your will Lord. I love you and always have. Make this work Lord, find a path for me.

Valentine's Day

Good News From God

Romans 1:1-17

Thank you Lord for today. Ian grateful for another chance to praise you.

God you promised the gospels through your prophets. We are blessed that you sent your Son.  We learn to love and forgive everyone. Through faith, I am stronger. Spreading the good news of God. Lord let me have some good news to spread today. Good News in my life. Something good for me to be happy about, today.

Compassion

Matthew 9:35-11:30

Praise God for another day. Thank you God for waking me up this morning. You love keeps me going. I seek peace and I look for you compassion and rest.

I know my hopes and dreams are possible. I forgive you for what I feel is neglect. I pray for my own trust issues and will return to therapy to continue to work on myself. My healing is far from over. I have no resentment for you. A relationship built on love can survive. My heart will be at rest. Find your peace with this situation, all is not lost. It's a valley, not a peak, not the best of times, and not the worst of times. It is what it is. I understand the limitations and the timing is not right. I understand the  need to be patient. Wait. Not right now. There is so much need in the world that must be addressed. We must stand united or divided we will surely fall, so I understand. You love me, you're busy right now and can I just wait for a better time to deal with this problem, that really isn't a problem to you. I get it. Wait. My Love, wait is something I have been doing for a long time, so really nothing is different. Nothing to worry about, I'm waiting. I have compassion for the situation.

What looks like defeat is actually a victory

Matthew 27:56-65 and 28:1-20
I know I have problems Lord. Thank you for today? Thank you for reminding me that each day is not promised. I'm going to get a therapist and try to work this out honestly with myself. Keep me close Lord.

The Cost of Friendship with Jesus

John 15:18-16:4

Good morning Lord and thank you for another day. Send your counselor to heal my spirit and speak the truth. What I love so much is that while Jesus was here on earth, he didn't surround himself with groups of students or even groups of followers, he surrounded himself with friends. He admitted that he needed friends, that's a sign of maturity. Friendship with Jesus is hard, but there is both comfort and cost. We love the comfort, hate the cost. Jesus tells us the world hated him before it hated us. It persecuted him before it persecuted us.Lord he thinks I'm just "mad" about something. It's way more than that. I have to build up my trust in him. He let her humiliate me, I humbled myself, went along and now the situation is over. So it was just business, just following the rules, this is how we run our show. Well if it's just business, then I will treat it as such. Business as usual. Office wives are the worst sometimes, why does she walk around with a frown all the time if she loves her job? There needs to be some joy somewhere. He's a man Lord, he didn't know what was going on even though he was standing right there. That's alright, I'm just not ready to forgive his "wifey" yet. I will pray on that some more.
