Blessed



Even with less than 8 hours of sleep I find myself so happy. God has blessed me abundantly. So often I find myself praying over all the little woes in my life, but in the moments of joy and bliss I sometimes forget to thank God for all he has given me.

The bible says in Psalm 9:1-2
I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart;
I will tell of all your wonders.

2 I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.


We need to remember that God listens to all our prayers whether they be woes or praise. He answers our prayers and guides us. So praise him daily.
Needtobreathe: Lyrics Something Beautiful
Hey now, this is my desire
Consume me like a fire, 'cause I just want something beautiful
To touch me, I know that I'm in reach
'Cause I am down on my knees.
I'm waiting for something beautifulOh, something beautiful

When life gives you lemons

God loves a lullaby In a mothers tears in the dead of night Better than a Hallelujah sometimes.
Fear is such a great and impossible thing. We are afraid of everything we cannot control. We try so hard to control it all and then we get scared. In those moments of fear and unknown grief we wrestle with the dilemma of what we should do. Some people cry, some get angry, and some of us pray.

Praying is a beautiful thing. It is like being wrapped up in a warm blanket. Feeling the soft touch of God comforting you. Letting go of all that fear, worry, doubt, guilt, shame, anger, and frustration can be so much greater than anything else. I cannot imagine a life without the comfort of God in prayer, because lets face it life is gonna happen! You are going to face disappointments and pain. You will not be in control of everything all the time, and sometimes you will have to wait because all you can do is wait.

So when you are waiting take the time to turn to him in prayer because his arm around you holding you up is so much stronger than you can imagine. If he can hold the weight of the world he will be able to hold your fears too! Trust him and let him guide you. Because:
Luke 18: 27 Jesus replied, "What is impossible with men is possible with God."

We pour out our miseries God just hears a melody Beautiful the mess we are The honest cries of breaking hearts Are better than a Hallelujah
