When I Pray

One of the greatest privileges we have is to be able to go to God with everything that is going on in our lives. We are able to talk to Him and ask for His help with all areas of our lives. There isn’t anything more powerful than going to God in prayer. He has the ability to give us the strength and wisdom that we need to handle our situations.

Because I struggled so much going to my Dad with any issue, it was very hard for me to go to God. I usually handled things myself or didn’t take the time to ask God to help me. I didn’t realize what a bad habit I had gotten myself into. Yes, I prayed, but I didn’t really seek Him and sometimes I didn’t believe He would come through for me. When I started journaling, I would write pages and pages almost every day. Those pages became my prayers to Him. I would write scriptures down and I would ask Him questions about them and also ask Him for help with my unbelief. Continue reading “When I Pray”

One of Life’s Greatest Challenges

“No human relationship can satisfy the deep soul-need you have. A relationship with a man cannot match it, no matter how hard you try. No husband can meet that kind of need for his wife; only Jesus can do that. And that’s the way He wants it.” (David Hagar)

I would like to say to anyone out there that is falling in love or newly in love with someone, Jesus is the only one who can satisfy you. He is the only one who knows you intimately and knows how to meet your needs. Please learn this valuable lesson now. Take the pressure off the person you are in love with. That person will never be able to meet your needs like Jesus can. Do yourself a favor and go to Him and ask Him to meet your needs and not that person. Throw your expectations out the window! There is no human being who is capable of meeting all of your needs. I have had to learn this lesson the hard way. Continue reading “One of Life’s Greatest Challenges”

God-filtered glasses

As I have gotten older, my vision has gotten worse. I noticed the change in my vision during my forties when I started having issues reading things. I would have to hold books as far away as possible to read them, so I gave in to getting “reader” glasses. I had to find the cutest ones I could to offset the need to wear them. Then, my vision for seeing things far away got worse so I had to give in to getting prescription glasses and contacts. My days of seeing things without help were over. I had to have my glasses on or contacts in to see. Continue reading “God-filtered glasses”

I Need A Hero

When I was a little girl, one of my favorite super heroes was Batman. I can hear the theme song from the television show playing in my mind. The thing I loved about Batman and other super heroes was the fact that they rescued people from bad things. They fought for people and did everything they could to help them escape from horrible situations. I also wanted a hero to come and rescue me. I wanted someone to take me out of my circumstances, but no one ever did. Continue reading “I Need A Hero”

He Heals Broken Hearts

Most of my life, I functioned with a broken heart. I didn’t wake up every day and think that my heart was broken. I got so used to it that I didn’t really notice it. I became numb to my heart because it was easier to deal with my life if I just ignored it. Denial can be a good thing for awhile but then you have to deal with the issues that are staring you in the face. I didn’t realize how damaged it was until I had to deal with the hurt.
