Your word is a lamp that gives light wherever I walk. Write them on the tables of my heart so they are close to me.   Your laws are fair, and I have given my word to respect them all. Even though my life is in danger I will never turn my back on You   nor will I ever forget You.   I have made up my mind to obey Your word forever, no matter what - they are my most prized possession and my source of joy.   You are my place of safetyy and my shield. Be true to Your word Lord; keep me alive and strong, safe and secure and protect me from abuse. Your word is my only hope . Take good care of me, Your servant, and don’t let me be harmed by arrogant and proud people. My eyes are weary from waiting to see You keep Your promises. Show Your love for me in a new way in this brand new season.   I serve You   Lord, hear my prayer an give me the understanding that comes from Your word. ~(Ps119)

How many of our relationships are in ruins… perhaps it is your marriage-   once a solid fortress, but now only the ruins of a once safe place. Maybe its your relationship with your children….   Or even worse… your relationship with Jesus. Hopefully, for a split second, I caught your attention and with it came the realization I was actually talking to you .   Hopefully you will force yourself 2 reach out & do something about it “Still a song of adoration will rise up from these ruins “ With my love and my sadness I come before You Lord. May heart’s in   thousand pieces, maybe even more. Yet I trust in this moment. You are with me somehow, and You have always been faithful. So Lord even now when all that I can sing is a broken hallelujah, when my only offering is shattered praise, still a song of adoration will rise up from these ruins and I will worship You and give You thanks. You have given me much more than I deserve - How could I doubt Your goodness, Your wisdom,

I’ve been tempted.   And I have failed. Many times. I have beaten myself up for giving into temptation more than I can count. I have been so ashamed of myself that I have even tried to hide from God.   Pretended it didn’t happen.   I have made pacts with God and have sworn on my life…. All in the name of Jesus. Yeah, I’ve been bad. And even made myself believe God shook my hand on all the deals I have made….. Am I the only one? Silly me.   I have even asked God why He has allowed me to stumble and fall, why He has allowed for it to knock on my door. Until I discovered that I can only be dragged away, give into it, if the desire has been in my heart all along.   No wonder the bible says ‘ of all things guard your heart the most…’ ... but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. 15 Then, after the desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.— James 1:14 But I have

I will make a way in the wilderness   and rivers in the desert. For as long as I can remember I 've always struggled with negative thoughts…. Thoughts of insecurity; that I’m not clever enough, pretty enough, good enough – especially when I hear of someone else’s success or breakthroughs. I would ponder for days on ‘what have I done wrong’ or ‘did not do’ to have the same favour as others have had. Some days I don't even give it a thought and then there are those days.....   For the most part I am content with what I have when it comes to material things. It’s just that I’m at a place in my life where I question the direction of my life. Am I at the right place - my ministry, my job, my marriage, my friends, the choices I make ~ I feel weak, fragile, drained, wearied. It’s as if I’m in a desert place and there is just no way out – whatever way I choose to go on  it’s just not where the oasis is. Maybe I walked straight into the desert because of the mystified choi

LORD, the God of Israel...there is no one like You in heaven above or on earth below. You who keep Your covenant of love with Your servants who continue wholeheartedly in Your way.   The heavens, even the highest heaven, cannot contain You. Yet You give attention to Your servant’s prayer and his plea for mercy. When the heavens are shut and there is no rain because Your people have sinned against You, and when they pray toward You and give praise to Your name and turn from their sin because You have afflicted them, then hear from heaven and forgive the sins of Your servants, since You know their hearts. Teach them the right way to live, and send rain on the land You gave Your people for an inheritance. In Your Mighty Name I pray. Amen.        May the Lord our God be with us as He was with our ancestors; may He never leave us nor forsake us. May He turn our hearts to Him, to walk in obedience to Him and keep the commands, decrees and laws He gave our ancestors.
