Awakened to Stillness

I cannot have answers right now; but I have The God who has all those answers, and it is enough that He carries them within His heart; that great, loving, merciful heart that He shares so freely with His beloved.

FEAR NOT: God will FIGHT for You!

FEAR NOT: God Hears our Cries

It might seem that God isn’t answering our prayers, but that does not mean we should give up and it does not mean we should look for help anywhere else. Eventually, God will answer. He might not answer in the way we expect, and the time may seem long from our human perspective. But He WILL answer.

Burdened for the Brethren

Published by reflectionsintheword

It is not enough to bring just our burdens to God in prayer, we must also bring the burdens of our brothers/sisters, our community, our neighborhood, to Him. It is not enough to take care of just our own (selves/families), we must also tend to the burdens of others.

My Prayer

Published by reflectionsintheword

Let my life be that which upon
You’re lifted up, that they be drawn
Unto Your mercy, deep and wide,
To find forgiveness at Your side.
I must diminish; Thou increase.
Bring others to this rest and peace.

Teach me Lord

Lord, help us to have a hungry heart
And long for the joys you will give,
If only we’ll spend quiet time with You,
In Your Book we’ll learn how to live.
