a sunday morning prayer

dear Lord,
This morning I woke up with a tightness in my heart -- fears filled my thoughts.  I wanted to pull the covers over my head and hide.  But I got up.  I got ready.  And You were waiting for me at church.  You wanted me to hear ...

"You will weep no more.
When He hears you, He will answer you.
When you turn to the right or left,
you will hear a voice behind you saying,
This is the way,
Walk in it."

Isaiah 30:19-21

Thank You, Lord for using challenges in my life to direct me straight to You -- my Rock, my shield, my fortress.  Thank You for Your promise ... "You grant a treasure of common sense to the honest. You are a shield to those who walk with integrity.  You guard the paths of the just and protect those who are faithful to You." (Prov 2:7-8).  Thank You for being my one constant -- my one place of safety and peace where I can breath and just sit at your feet and give to You all that troubles me.  You are my rock and my fortress.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

dear child,
The world cannot give you the peace you need.  There is no rest to be found.  You heart will be heavy until you turn off the world and look to Me.  Open your eyes.  Open your heart.  I will lighten the load -- and you will SOAR.  Pray to me, and I will answer you. I will show you great and hidden things that you do not know.  Jeremiah 33:3

bow my head and fly

{find art block here}


the ground i walk on
may be filled 
with weeds.
the sky i see 
may be
cloudy.
the rain 
may never
stop.
nevertheless,
if what i see
with my eyes
looks to be
without
hope,
i can close 
my eyes,
bow
my head,
and
FLY.

"Those who hope in the Lord shall renew their strength. They will soar."
