Jesus, please be with Me Always

Hello once more, my dear brothers and sisters in my Lord Jesus Christ. I have posted before that I do suffer from depression and OCD, both give me hollow feelings and plague me with intrusive thoughts and excessive worries, especially about God and Jesus, and my connection with them....

There has been one word that has kept popping into my mind, and has caused me much stress and to pray over and over for forgiveness for that.... That word would be "no". I have feared it meant like… Continue

Another Sad & Beautiful Day To Grow & Learn

Ok, everybody. I didn't go to church this morning. I was kinda burnt out after going to the study the other nite and just needed a break from ritual. I don't want my going to church to become a habit, or worse yet, a rut. I want it to feel new and fresh, and I actually want to go because I feel the urge to be there with the Lord and all my brothers and sister, and not because I am expected to be there.

I was glad when Todd finally made it home yesterday. It was awful without him and… Continue

COURAGE IN THE MIDDLE OF ADVERSITY

COURAGE IN THE MIDDLE OF ADVERSITY

Adversity is a great test of our courage. Courage is an attribute that God demands of us as we trek the road of life. Let us look at courage from a scriptural stand point. There are several different uses in the Scripture. Understanding these uses can help us to be more courageous in our every day walk with the Lord, and in the face of adversities that we might have to…

Are you having a hard time spending time with the Lord?

Do you sometimes find it difficult to motivate yourself to spend time with the Lord? When we think about that, it really doesn't make sense. God has all the power and all the wisdom that we could ever need. Why do we go and ask other people what to do about a situation when we should be asking the one who knows everything. I think some of it is because when we talk to another person, they are right in front of us. We can see them, hear them, and touch them. It doesn't take any faith to talk… Continue

The Power of Your Words.

Have you ever really listened to the words you speak? When I was first learning how important my thoughts and words were to my life, I started listening to what I was speaking. At the time I was working on my thoughts trying not to allow any negative ones in my mind, but while I was working on that I started noticing all the negative things I was speaking.

The words didn't seem like much, but as I kept track it really accumulated. They were just small things like "traffic is going… Continue

Celebrate the Outcome of the Audacity of Hope against Social Prejudice: Barack Obama's Inauguration!

Yes, I believe Barack Obama's historical election to the US Presidency and his celebrated inauguration on January 20, 2008 as an African American indicates clearly that the Lord rules in the kingdoms of men. In a country where discrimination against African Americans was formally insitutionalized in the society as recently as just about four decades ago and which has a congress of only one African American senator among a hundred senators, it is an acclaimed astonishment that Barack Obama, an… Continue

Does God Answer our Prayer?

Does God Answer our prayer?

God tells us to give our concerns to him. Even as the situation remains dismal, "Cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you."12 The circumstances may look out of control, but they aren't. When the whole world seems to be falling apart, God can keep us together. This is when a person can be very grateful that they know God. "The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests… Continue
