~ PRAYERS FOR A WOMAN'S SOUL ~


~ PRAYERS OF LOVE AND TRUST ~


Lord, help me to be Patient and Kind toward others. Help me not to Boast when I'm right or be proud when others are wrong. Help me not to be Rude. I don't want my Love to be Self~Seeking, or easily Angered. And, Lord, convict me if I start keeping a record of wrongs, for I desire that my Love will always Rejoice with the Truth. Help me to have Faith, Hope, and Love ever increasing, ever growing . . .
<><><><><><><><><><>
Love is Patient, Love is Kind. It does not Envy, it does not Boast, it is not Proud.
It is not Rude, it is not Self~Seeking, it is not easily Angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not Delight in Evil but Rejoices with the Truth. It always Protects, always Trusts, always Hopes, always Perseveres.
~ Love Never Fails ~
<><><><><><><><><><>
Love must be Sincere. Hate what is Evil; Cling to what is good. Be Devoted to one another in Brotherly Love, Honor one another above Yourselves.
He who covers over an offense Promotes Love.
You yourselves have been Taught by God to Love each other.
<><><><><><><><><><>
*Lord Jesus*, Grant me the Trusting Heart of a child that I might come into your Presence and simply accept the Gift of Love already given. Fill me with your Holy Spirit, O Lord, that I might become like a Shining Light of Truth in this dark World. I am weak, Lord, and often Fail.
But, oh, what Glory it is to be able to *Talk With You*, to *Know You Are Near*, that you Care.
I Love You, Lord, with *All My Heart* . . . AMEN
<><><><><><><><><><>
Those who *Know Your Name* will *Trust In You*, for you, LORD, have never Forsaken those who Seek You . . .
Surely God is my Salvation; I Will Trust and not be Afraid.
The LORD, the LORD is my Strength and my Song; he has become my Salvation . . .
Prayer to a Heart of Lowly Love Opens the Gate of Heaven Above. Ah, Prayer is God's high dwelling place, wherein His Children see His Face. From Earth to Heaven we build a Stair:
The Name by which we call it ~ Prayer. Love's Rain, the Spirit's Holy Ray, And Tears of Joy, are theirs who Pray.

~ PATIENTLY ENDURE ~

God will take care of us
in good and bad times.
We shouldn't become
Over Confident in
times of plenty, but we also
need to Patiently Endure
Times of Adversity.
God will NEVER leave us.
He will be Near us
in our troubles.
Unbelievers don't have
this Confidence in God
because they put their trust
in Earthly Things.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><>
The Battle of the
Christian Life has always been
not just to BELIEVE,
But to keep on BELIEVING.
This is how we will
grow Strong in FAITH
and see the actual Fulfillment
of God's Promises in our Lives

~ WHAT'S CONFUSED IN YOUR LIFE? ~

~ PRAY FOR PURPOSE ~

Have you ever been so confused about something that it literally made you sick? Has confusion clouded your judgment? Many woman mask their pain of confusion to the world. They put on makeup and a stoic face. They don a smart~looking out~fit and a matching demeanor. They sip their coffee and zip their lips, never daring to let on that they are creatures of confusion.

Go ahead and admit today that there is something in your life that confuses you. It will set you free from that world of secrets and invite God's clarity and purpose. One bit of advice: Until God Speaks, wait to take Action. . .

~ CONFUSION REIGNS SUPREME! ~
What's your greatest area of confusion? Is it whether to be an Entrepreneur, how to deal with coworker cliques, when to downsize for retirement, or how to stop the grumbling in your ministry? Does your confusion have to do with your medical debt, waning spirituality, management styyle, life balance, or time~consuming hobby? Do you wonder where you are supposed to plant seeds of faith, how to De~Clutter your home and garage, or what to do about someone who is slandering you?
Are you confused about who to trust, what to do next, or why you were blamed for something?
"I believe that if we could get people to uncross their twisted~pretzel arms, unlock their tightly guarded emotions, and laugh at themselves. "It's then that the Holy Spirit can break down the walls that divide us from each other and from God". "Confusion is a direct result of the Fall." Up until then, life was, oh, so simple~so sparkling clear. Now we're all just trying to machete our way through the Thicket that is this post~Eden, pre~Heaven, Earth~life.
"I am learning that, although God is not the author of confusion, he often uses the confusion in my life, so that I will listen more closely for his voice, examine more intently my past missteps, and appreciate more completely his peace that is only truly apparent in the middle of my muddle. I do strive, believe it or not, to stay in his presence, the only place where confusion is not a given on this confusing planet. Of course, since Earth is not our real home, the confusion makes us aliens and foreigners, who look all the more forward to arriving Home."
If any of you lacks wisdom, he whould ask God, who gives
generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.
