On Faith
And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope.
Job 11:18
God grant me the courage not to give up what I think is right,
even though I think it is hopeless.
-Admiral Chester W. Nimitz-
Lord,
Thank you for what you have given me.
Thank you for what you have taken from me.
Thank you for what you have left me.
To me, faith is not just a noun but also a verb.
-Jimmy Carter-
Remember, God knows what you need,
and He knows the best timing for giving it to you.
It seems sometimes as though half my life
is filled with hanging on...the rest is letting go!
When you feel down about yourself,
remember your unique value in the eyes of your Creator.
If you are experiencing a difficult time,
look for signs of God's instruction.
The only way to find peace
and "rest for your souls"
is to walk on God's path.
What are the glorious things God has done for you?
You cannot hide from God;
let His nearness comfort you.
In the power of the Holy Spirit,
you can handle anything that God sends your way.
Hope in God, because He always proves faithful.
Since God has forgiven you so completely,
let Him help you forgive others.
Is your love for God
displayed in your choices and actions?
You are never alone in facing the challenges God gives.
Listen to the things you say today.
What do your words tell about your heart?
Prayer is the rope that pulls God and man together,
But it doesn't pull God down to us...
it pulls us up to Him.
With God - even when nothing is happening,
something is happening.
Fill me with Your mercy and love, Lord.
In an angry world let me be used
to bring peace where there is strife.
Let seeing, with your eyes, your heart and your soul,
be gifts you never lose.
God permits some to suffer -
most in order that they might experience the deepest joy.
In Christ, we are relaxed and at peace
in the midst of the confusion, bewilderment, and perplexities of life.
It is Christmas in the heart
that puts Christmas in the air.
The most important things in life aren't things.
It is such a comfort to drop the tangles of life
into God's hand and leave them there.
Meditation is worry in reverse.
Lord, May our love for You increase.
May our desire for Your word grow into delight.
Lord, thank you for canceling my sentence of death.
Lord, help me accept the Kingdom offered me,
even if it means a different way of thinking,
a different way of living.
Dear God, give me courage to face
the problems that confront me today;
thank You for Your sustaining strength.
Dear God, this is a new day
and I may face unexpected temptations.
Please help me to keep free from evil.
Dear Lord, make me aware of the many opportunities
about me to serve Christ and my fellowman.
Lord God, I expect great things of You;
please help me to attempt
and accomplish great things for You.
Thanks, Lord, for being willing to suffer
so You could help when temptations come.
Lord, give me grace and strength to persevere
and an obedient heart to do Your will.
I'm glad You are never too busy
to remember your promises, Lord.
O God, I want to begin this day You have given to me
in worship and dependence on You.
Help me, Lord, to remember that by Thy word
the heavens and earth were formed
and by Thy word we one day will awake in Thy likeness.
Lord, help me to be honest
and humble enough to acknowledge my need
of moral and spiritual help from others
as well as Your divine help.
God has good plans for your life.
You are making an investment in personal holiness
when you dig into God's Word.
Rest in God's changeless love
when you are disappointed in human relationships.
The task ahead of you is never
as great as the Power behind you.
If your faith will take you over the mountains,
it will take you through the valleys.
