…But you still love me

August 22, 2013 / Andy/ Leave a comment

(Psalm 139:1-18 and my dialogue with the Word.)   Oh Lord, You have searched me and You know me.   But You still love me. You know when I sit and when I rise; You perceive my thoughts from afar. But You still love me. You discern my going out and my lying down; You are familiar with all my …

Making Psalm 139 Your Own

July 29, 2012 / Andy/ Leave a comment

O Lord, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it …and you still like me. Love me. You hem …

A Mind Stayed on Him

May 18, 2012 / Andy/ Leave a comment

A prayer in my journal a few weeks ago: Dear Lord,   Thank you for your love and grace always. Constant. Gentle. Promised.   Forgive me for my lack of control over my thoughts. I want my mind to always be on You. Not me. I also need to ask forgiveness for my out-of-control-life, but I know You don’t intend …

Deposit Your Worries

April 12, 2012 / Andy/ Leave a comment

Why do I not do the things good for me? Why don’t I eat an apple every day, drink eight glasses of water, exercise, and journal consistently? I know how good I feel when I do these things, but I don’t always do them.   I need incentive. It always helps to get something new. I used to be excited …

Some of us woke up to a normal day. We’re gettin Some of us woke up to a normal day. We’re getting ready for church, and looking forward to another day. But some of us woke up today with a heavy heart. Decisions have to be made. New seasons have come bringing loss and fear. But the sun faithfully rose today. And for me, the morning coupled with this promise from the Psalms, gives me great comfort. He will make a way when there seems to be no way. He will answer my prayers. And He will answer yours. 

If your heart is heavy, grab a journal and write down this verse with your prayer. Let Him know exactly what you need. 

🙏🙏🙏

I love my man, and I love where we live. Isn’t t I love my man, and I love where we live. Isn’t this beautiful? Just a little sunset drive before our week apart taking care of family needs. The Lord is so faithful. I know He is going before us. This beautiful picture is a promise to me. #wilmingtonnc #capefearriver #sunsetgram #marriagelife #blessings #grateful
If you are discouraged in your call and fear has p If you are discouraged in your call and fear has paralyzed you, this prayer is for you. We pray against the enemy's schemes. Fear and discouragement are his calling cards.

Go back to the call. Spend time with the Lord. Joshua 1:9 says (in my paraphrase) "Have I not called you? Be strong and courageous because I will be with you wherever you go."

I pray you feel His Presence.

I love this prayer. I've prayed for my children to I love this prayer. I've prayed for my children to serve the Lord for years and years, and they are in their own ways. Now I get to pray this for my grandchildren. But what I really love about this pray sent to me by one of my friends is the prayer for the "pre-believer." Isn't that great?! What a great prayer of faith! There's nothing like a momma's prayer. 

Do you have pre-believers you are praying for? Maybe we'll add all those names to a post on the prayer wall. Send me a message if you'd like to add someone's name. #prayer #prayerwall #mommasprayers #mommasprayersanswered #servingjesus #faith
Nothing is more nerve wracking than moving from on Nothing is more nerve wracking than moving from one home to another especially when everything is not in place, and you don't know where your next home will be. We pray for those families in limbo. We pray for those families who are homeless. The Lord is faithful. He is not worried or surprised. We pray for patience, provision, and peace. 

I also pray for divine connections and favor. In Jesus's name. Amen. 

Did anybody need this prayer today? If you have another prayer you want added to the #prayerwall just send me a message.
The Lord has given me a vision for a #prayerwall o The Lord has given me a vision for a #prayerwall on my grid. There is power in prayer, and I know if one person is asking for prayer, another heart also holds the same request. 

I sent this invitation to my subscribers today to share their prayers, and I would add them to my prayer wall. No names, just prayers. It will remind me to pray, and hopefully, it will encourage others to pray too.

This was a prayer request that came from a momma's heart for her daughter. Those are strong prayers. Momma's don't stop praying for your babies. Ever.

If you have been hurt in a relationship, this is my prayer for you today. I pray you don't let bitterness and anger take root, but if they have, I pray you let God pull them up. These are weeds that will suck the life from you and all the other little flowers in your life. May the Lord bless you with His peace and forgiveness, by His amazing grace. In Jesus name. Amen.

"God will fight for you; you only need to be still "God will fight for you; you only need to be still." Exodus 14:14. Who needed that word today? It's our verse on our patience reading plan. I love this verse so much. 

What a promise. God. Will. Fight. 

What have you been fighting? What battle has been waging in your heart? I love the promise, but I also love the admonishment. "Be still."

It's hard for us to be still, but rather than being frustrated with this command, look at it as a permission slip to take the day off of worrying and waging your war. The ancient Hebrew word actually means to "be silent," or "let alone." It also means to "rest, hold your tongue, and be still." 

So . . . that coworker you really want to give your piece of mind? Be still. God's got it. 

Those things you really want to tell your husband? ... Be still. 

God has it. And He loves you. Does this verse encourage you? Does it give you permission? If so, leave a comment. I'll be praying for you.

The Lord wants us to walk in His peace. It’s a p The Lord wants us to walk in His peace. It’s a place of dependence on Him and trust of His goodness. 

I get frustrated with myself when my emotions are a roller-coaster rather than steady, but despite my issues, He is faithful. 

How’s your heart today? Is it holding on tight, white knuckled as your roller coaster car plunges down a steep drop? Is the unknown stealing your peace? Walk through Psalm 23. Remember all the times he specifically provided for you and led you to places of rest. 

Did you know shepherds literally knock sheep down to make them rest? They also lead them to still water because they’re afraid of rushing, moving water. 

Our shepherd knows us. Don’t be discouraged. Watch for His faithfulness. His goodness and loving kindness are chasing you. Let Him catch you today.
