Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your wonderful gift of the Holy Spirit. When You baptized me in the Holy Ghost, You gave me a gift of boldness to witness and a desire to pray more. I also appreciate the power the Holy Spirit that enables me to resist sin and temptation. Lord, without You and Your Holy Spirit, I would be overcome by the enemy. With Your Spirit though, I am able to resist the devil and cause him to flee. I also appreciate the freedom to worship You by praying in the…

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for loving us. Lord, You loved us even when we were unlovely. I am ever grateful for Your love. Fill me today with Your love so that I can be like You and love the unlovely and be kind to everyone, including the wicked. Lord, You love everyone, as You send Your rain on the unjust, as well as the just. Help me to love those who touch my life that are not always kind to me. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit so that my character does not change when people come…

I get up every morning and ask God: When will I be able to hear the beautiful music you've blessed us with? When will I be able to hear the beautiful sounds of nature? When will I be able to hear the sound of laughter in joyous times or will I stand alone not hearing a tone? When will I be understood? Will I stand in misery all my life not hearing a sound while others are amused? Through out the day, I realize being deaf is part of who I am and part that makes me strong day by day. I also…

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your many blessings. As I face each new day Lord, may I do so with an expectation that You will prevail in my live and help me do Your will. Help me to guard my lips and speak things that are good and right. Let me refrain my lips from all evil. Lord, I want my tongue to be an instrument of righteousness in Your ears. Help me to keep my mouth shut when I need to do so, and help me to open it and speak when you are prompting me to do so. Give me the…

If it be our care to act under the guidance and power of the blessed Spirit, though we may not be freed from the stirrings and oppositions of the corrupt nature which remains in us, it shall not have dominion over us. Believers are engaged in a conflict, in which they earnestly desire that grace may obtain full and speedy victory. And those who desire thus to give themselves up to be led by the Holy Spirit, are not under the law as a covenant of works, nor exposed to its awful curse. Their…

My wish for you.   Ephesians 3.14-21

Good Day.

Some of my most treasured possessions are hand-written cards and letters.  Why?  Well, I guess because each…

Dad and I were walking in the parking lot to get from the vehicle to the store. He stopped me all of a sudden. This red car pulled out almost hitting us. If we would have even been probably 10 seconds earlier we would have been hit. And if dad didn't stop me I would have probably walked right when the car was coming out anyways. Praise God! the Lord surely takes care of His own. And thankfully He has been very merciful sparing my parents' lives in more than one instance. Life and death are…

Dear Heavenly Father, I come to You with a thankful heart for all that You have done in my life. Thank You for the many answers to my prayers and I appreciate You always being there when I call. Lord, I pray for all of those who do not know You. Use Your children to tell them about the good news of salvation. Give each of us Holy boldness to witness to those around us who need to hear about the love of Jesus. May our lives be a testimony of Your love. Forgive us when we fail You…

“Between now and then”

Somewhere across this valley, I’ll reach my finial home.

I’ll hear the angels singing; look upon God’s golden throne.

Someday I’ll bid farewell to this fleshly coat of sin.

But I still have a ways to go, between now and then.

I still have mountains yet to…

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for not only saving my soul, but for the promise of healing also. I do appreciate the many times over the years that You have healed me personally. I also thank you for the gift of healing as I have prayed and You have touched others with Your healing virtue. You truly are the Great Physician. I do appreciate that about You. Lord, I do want to always remain in a joyful attitude, no matter what might come my way. Fill me with Your love, joy and peace daily,…

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for our parents. Lord, it is a blessing to have parents who care about you. May we always honor them as You have told us to do. Lord, I pray for our young people; may they have respect and obedience toward their parents. Lord, help us to guard our mouths and speak only the things that are good and edifying. Let us all seek peace and be peace makers. Deliver us from any rebellion and may we walk in love with our families and our friends and co-workers. I…
