Happy Sunday and may the Lord send many blessings to your family today, a smile for the weary heart a hug to get you through the day.
A Fight to the Finish from Ephesians 6, key is "Pray hard and long.":
And that about wraps it up. God is strong, and he wants you strong. So take everything the Master has set out for you, well-made weapons of the best materials. And put them to use so you will be able to stand up to everything the Devil throws your way. This is no afternoon athletic contest that we'll walk away from and forget about in a couple of hours. This is for keeps, a life-or-death fight to the finish against the Devil and all his angels.
Be prepared. You're up against far more than you can handle on your own. Take all the help you can get, every weapon God has issued, so that when it's all over but the shouting you'll still be on your feet. Truth, righteousness, peace, faith, and salvation are more than words. Learn how to apply them. You'll need them throughout your life. God's Word is an indispensable weapon. In the same way, prayer is essential in this ongoing warfare. Pray hard and long. Pray for your brothers and sisters. Keep your eyes open. Keep each other's spirits up so that no one falls behind or drops out.
“Our attitude is the color that paints your life beautiful or gloomy.” She also says, “Be the well-thinker, the blesser. Your difficulties? Strengthened your mind! I speak only when I am certain what I will say is better than what is left unsaid. That’s godly wisdom. Watch your words.” Suzi Julian Yelvington

4/30/22 Once again we are back to the day we pray for those who are dealing with grief. Everywhere we look, we can find someone, missing someone, grieving someone, wishing they could be together again.
If they died in the Lord, we know they are in a better place. This world is not a bed of roses. Yet the One who wore a crown of thorns, will walk with us through this journey. He will comfort with great Father arms of comfort, like no one on earth can do. He will help you through. Those who miss someone in heaven will make sure they will get there to reunite with their loved one. What a glorious day that will be.
We also pray for those whose loved ones are getting close to leaving. Give them the strength for the journey and words of love and affirmation, and permission to leave. Peace, peace, peace to their hearts. And yours.
4/29 Proverbs 3:5-6 (MSG) "Trust GOD from the bottom of your heart; don't try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for GOD's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he's the one who will keep you on track."
"Always-loving God, remind me that even the keenest disappointments aren’t evidence that You stand against me. Instead, those times may be when You’re closest and want me to change directions in my life. Help me to realize that when You withhold, You withhold out of love. I forget so easily, so remind me frequently. Amen." Cecil Murphey
