Prayer For The Day!

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your love toward me. Lord, I ask You to place in me the same kind of love you have for the lost and the poor. I pray for the lost and ask You to work in the hearts of those who are seeking for You, yet are looking in the wrong places. Father, I need a tender and understanding heart toward the poor. May I be sensitive to Your leading so that I know where I should give, so that the poor are helped in the right way. Lord, thank…

Even if You Fan the Flame....

www.myreadywriter.blogspot.com

The act of Faith in God as exhibited by some people in the bible is something I don't seem to get over easily when I study the word sometimes. Over and again, I have heard sermons and read the story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego but as I read it again a couple of days ago, I couldn't but wonder about the capacity we potentially possess to believe God…

Prayer For The Day!

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for being patient with me in my trials. I have failed many of my tests the first time around, but because of Your love and mercy, I have been given another chance to overcome. Each time You have strengthened me until I have been able to overcome the devil with his temptations. Lord, I do want to be conformed into Your image. It seems so impossible, but You said that with You there is nothing impossible, so I am believing You to…

Poem: Etched In Stone

Ongoing studies of Egyptian history

demonstrate lessons can still be learned.

Their oversized achievements were possible,

by having its peoples’ hearts turned…

to the idea of a national identity.

Around the Nile’s life giving source,

the commonality of personal survival

eventually produced an effective workforce.

Since times of Middle Eastern antiquity,

the annual flooding of the coastal plains

created the opportunities to trade away

Poem: Morning Coffee

Morning coffee percolates

beneath my weary eyelids,

as my flesh angrily screams

for its daily stimulant;

scents of French Vanilla

permeate and freshen

the staleness of my kitchen.

Evaluations of the new day

will have to wait until my cup

has been completely emptied…

of its liquid gold.

Pretty calm today.

So as the post said, I'm pretty calm today. It might be because I went to school today, not that going there calms me down, but being around so many people make me uncomfortable so I just push down my feelings so deep I can't feel them for a few days. After tomorrow school's out so I'm going to time how long this is going to lasts before they force themselves back up. Music also has an affect on me sometimes to, but that only lasts for a few hours at best and not having a place to draw at…

Dear Heavenly Father, I am thankful for all that you have provided for me. Help me not to be stressful, when I have need of certain things and I do not see how they will be supplied. My trust is in You and I know that You will never leave me nor forsake me. Lord, I am grateful for a peaceful home. Fill all who visit our home with Your peace. Let us serve those that You send to our house. Lord, I pray for marriages that are hurting because of so much stress.…
