God Beside Me

Last night, it was after 1am, almost 2.....I could feel another sleepless night coming. I prayed and felt as if the Lord was right beside me. The Holy Spirit told me to take my sleep medicine. Within an hour, I fell alseep. I slept well all night and even woke up when I wanted to in the morning, without the alarm. Thank you Father God!

the Hope

I learned in church tonight a secret mystery, this little prayer: Christ in me, the Hope of all future things to come.

God's Phone Number

"Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know." Jeremiah 33:3

My aunt calls Jeremiah 33:3 "God's phone number." God answered prayer again and I know clearly it was God. My MRI results: no change on the size of the pituitary tumor. Thank you God.

God's Masterpiece

"For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago." Ephesians 2:10 (NLT)

Wow, we are each "God's masterpiece." Amazing and too wonderful for me to fathom. We are like great works of art and God is the most famous artist of all artists. It is hard for me to understand that Jesus died on the cross for my sins. Now I can live to do good things for Him. When I do good things for him, God helps me to forget my sinful past.

Amazing

At church this evening,  I asked the Lord to keep me from feeling self conscious when praising him in song. I often do not feel comfortable singing in church. God is so amazing. While I was singing, I felt as if God placed me in a bubble. I sang with ease and I didn't worry if anyone didn't like my singing.

Hope and a Future

"For I know the plans I  have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

Wow!

"Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down. I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written."    
John 21:25

Our Inheritance

I say to myself, "The Lord is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in him!" Lamentations 3:24

When my parents died, I did not receive an inheritance. Even though I do not have a lot of money in this life, I have learned that Jesus is my inheritance. The Lord owns everything and made everyone. I am reassured that when we go to heaven, there will be mansions and streets of gold. Everything will be perfect. I want to go there.

Answered Prayer

"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. Matthew 7:7


Dear Father God,
Thank you for answered prayer and giving me sleep last night. I feel so much better today. Thank you for the sunshine and this new day. I love you and want to serve you. Please help me to be an encouragement and blessing to others. In Jesus' Powerful Name, Amen.

A Blessing and an Encouragement

Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4
Right now, I am trying to block the things that are preventing me from delighting in the Lord, the giver of life. I am not a happy camper because I have not slept well in 5 days. If you have sleep problems or have experienced a restless night, you might be able to empathize. I am not feeling well so I will keep this short. I hope this blog will be a blessing, an encouragement and a help.
