    I will Wait On You

    Lord, There are so many things in my life I want to simply

    jump in and take care of--right now. I hear You advising

    me. Yet it's still hard to wait for your timing and direction.

    Help me to be patient and listen to You.

    Teach me to wait and receive Your encouragement. Here I 

    linger in prayer. Here I seek Your bidding. Prepare me, O Lord,

    for what lies ahead. Strengthen me, Yes Lord, I shall wait and

    obey! Enable my thoughts to become Your thoughts. Let my way

    adhere to Yours.

    Those who  patiently linger and seek Me are greater than the rulers

    of mighty nations. When You wait I shall rekindle your strength and

    wisdom, and carry you on My wings like a baby eagle. So refrain from

    launching off on your own, dear one. Stay close. Let Me help you run

    and not go weary; to walk and you shall not feel faint. As you do, I will

    shower My mercy upon you. Each and every day, I will give you hope

    and certainty. Remain in prayer and trust in Me, Your Father in Heaven,

    PS Who love you more each day.

    Lord, here I linger, let go, and place my confidence I You.

    " Do not worry about tomorrow;

    tomorrow will take care of itself. 

    Matthew 6: 34

    He causes the changes of the

    times and seasons, makes kings

    and unmakes them. He gives

    wisdom to the wise and knowledge

    to those who understand. Daniel 

    For over all, His glory will be a shelter

    and protection; shade from the parching

    heat of the day, refuge and cover from 

    storm or rain. Isaiah 4:6

    Heavenly Father, As we tangle with the cares of this

    day, we come to You, O Lord and Praise You for Your 

    healing whispers of love and encouragement.  In You

    whisper of hope and love are there. Thank You for granting

    us relief in days that feel so hard, knowing You are beside

    us and will listen to Your encouraging words," I will never 

    leave you nor forsake you"   Thank You for helping us all

    Just a Prayer Away

    If life seems to pass you by

    And the days seems like years,

    Remember you have a friend in God

    And He counts every tear.

    When things go bad to worse

    And life just isn't fair,

    It's nice to know you have a friend,

    Someone who really cares.

    Sometimes it's hard to understand

    Why your burden is so great,

    Or why we have to be the one

    With the heart that always breaks.

    So when your sad or lonely

    And need a friend today,

    Remember help is very close--

    It's only a prayer away. By Chet Stanhope.

    Your Blessing Overwhelm Us, Lord

    Your blessings overwhelm us, Lord;

    Your creation gives us life.

    Your passion gives hope and freedom

    To cope with pain and strife.

    Your word is everlasting, Lord;

    Your promises are true.

    Your angels guard and guide us

    In things we say and do.

    You light the path before us, Lord;

    You light the stars at night.

    You send us rain and sunshine

    And give the eagle flight.

    You decorate the seasons, Lord

    Each one a work of art,

    And cover the earth with flowers

    That cheer and warm our heart.

    You hear our prayers and answer, Lord,

    In ways we do not know.

    Your blessing overwhelm us, Lord,

    Until we overflow. By Clay Harrison

    For Carrying Me

    When the things of this world crushed in and caused me

    to crumble, You carried me, Father. When I poured out my

    troubles to others and could find no one to really understand,

    You carried me. When I faltered and lost my way and struggled

    to put one foot in front of the other, You were the One who carri-

    ed me. Now I know not to lean on my own abilities. Although my

    friends and love ones are dear, You are the One I can completely

    depend upon. I no longer try to be strong, for my strength lies in

    You. Thank You, dear Lord, for stooping down, picking me up in

    Your loving arms, and carrying me.  Thank You for helping me to

    never give up. No matter the circumstances, I praise You for being

    with me and showing me the way. When I am unable to see around

    the next bend and wonder if there is really light at the end of the tunnel,

    You light leads the way. I praise You, Father, for still carrying me. Some

    day these troubles and trials will be over, I look forward to the day when

    You carry me once more to be with You in Heaven. In the meantime,

    Father, I'll keep trusting, serving, and leaning on You. Amen

    Teach Me to Love

    Teach me to love, just like a child.

    Remind me everyday to smile,

    To trust You as I take each step,

    Erase old wound and past regrets.

    Teach me to swallow my pride and greed,

    And trust You'll supply all my needs.

    Show me how to schedule my day,

    To learn from You and always pray.

    For mercy and grace are gifts we receive

    If we only open our hearts and believe.

    Childlike faith will grow and become....

    I praise You, O Lord, for giving me hope. When I was lost

    and had no way to turn, You saved me. You turned my life

    around and gave me a positive anticipation for the future.

    You gave me hope not only for the future here on this

    earth, but for the future into eternity. I seek Your wise 

    guidance, Lord. Let my mouth praise You. Let me honor

    You with everything I do. Through You I experience a 

    spiritually rich life filled with enthusiasm and joy. As I

    synchronize my walk with Yours, I know I can't lose. You,

    dear Lord, are my desire, my existence, my entire being.

    Some say  You don't care about Your children. But I know

    that isn't true. You cause favor and love to shine upon me,

    not only me, but all who love and serve You. I praise You

    for being my tower of refuge, my place of safety when things

    go wrong. How grateful I am for the way You bring me through

    countless challenges and bless beyond measure. You have a

    way of weaving Your blessing of calm assurance in and out of

    everything in my life.  Hope in You proved true yesterday, Hope

    in You still abides today. And Your certain hope shall always 

    remain tomorrow. Thank You, Lord. How I praise You name!   Amen

    Dear lord, help our sisters here who are newly diagnosed, have a re-occurrence, waiting on more tests, working on the right treatment plan for their cancer care, trying to tell family and friends of their news, struggling to keep their jobs going and children and perhaps elders taken care of. Help the families to not be afraid and support their loved one through treatment, bless their medical teams, help them to not have constant worries so they can just focus on all they need to get through. Please be with our sisters here who may be transitioning soon and preparing to come in to your loving arms.

    I would like to say a special prayer to ask for you to be with Footprints to ensure she has all she needs during this time. Be with her this week and help her to have good outcomes.

    Reach Out To The Almighty

    Reach out to the Almighty

    Like a child lost in a crowd.

    When troubles leave you helpless,

    He will rescue you from doubt.

    Reach out to the Almighty

    Like a seagull seeking shore.

    His path is pure and simple,

    And you need find nothing more.

    Hold on to the Almighty

    Like a pilgrim seeking home.

    The world is dark and hurried,

    And the ship is not our own.

    Hold on to the Almighty

    Like the lonely to a friend

    His light will be a beacon,

    And His love will never end.  By John Zurn

    Dear Heavenly Father,

    You are a good, good father. Your favor and blessing fall on those who seek You out, love you, and walk in Your ways. Please turn Your face to us, full of light, so we are no longer in darkness.

    We are warriors against the enemy. Who is the enemy? He is the one who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy. John 10:10. Cancer has an incredible level of high intelligence hardwired in the cells in the way it seeks to steal our lives, destroy what we have, and ultimately try to kill us. But You Lord, warned us that in this life there will be trouble, but, take heart! You have overcome the world. John 16:33

    When we are embattled and weakened by our treatments, we do not feel much like warriors. We feel like fragile lambs in need of being picked up and tenderly held by our Good Shepherd, Jesus.

    image

    Yet you tell us to be of good courage, that we are more than conquerors, that we are well equipped for battle with our spiritual armor Ephesians 6:10-18. Please, Lord Jesus, take our fear, and replace it with courage, take our brokenheartedness, and bind up our wounds (Psalm 147:3), take our despair, and fill our hearts with hope.

    For those going to their Heavenly home, are these holy words:

    image

    In Jesus' name, amen
