The Teeter Totter you pray on

-

 


What kind of prayers do you pray? Our prayers reflect the current condition of our hearts. What we pray for and how we pray on a daily basis can reveal much about ourselves. Do we have a balance of requests and praise? If your prayers were put on a balance scale would your side be lower than the side that contains all the other people in your life? 

"I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people—"

1 Tim 2:1 

 

We all go through trials that drive our prayers to be focused mainly on our immediate situation and that is perfectly all right for that season. But I've found out that by making myself to remember others, even in these troubled times, that my personal burden somehow lightens. It's a win-win situation. 

Pray your heart out. One of the reasons God offered His plan of forgiveness and salvation was so you could have these heart to Heart talks...

Going in circles?? Trapped in an unhealthy Lifestyle?

  The Frustrating Merry-go-round of a Compromised Life   Got an unhealthy pattern in your life that is bringing you down or to ruin and want out? Here's the answer you are wanting, but may not be looking for.....   Let me give you an example from my personal merry-go-round. Present and past. I confess, I am overweight, and I know it is because of the choices I make when it comes to food. When I look at my appearance, it brings depression and when I get depressed, I eat. Hence, I gain more weight, and I am more depressed.  At times, it feels like a merry-go-round that I am chained to and I can't get off, no matter how desperately I want to. There are many other various merry-go-rounds out there other than gluttony.  Of course, there is alcohol, and it's red-headed stepchild, drugs.( definitely not a dig at redheads! I love them). There is also gambling, pornography, stealing, infidelity, lust, greed and all different kinds of traps.   One way or a...

THE 2 CHOICES THAT WE ALL HAVE

-

  CHOOSE WISELY, WHILE YOU STILL HAVE A CHOICE!   Everyone must choose one of two pains. There is no avoiding it. The pain of discipline, or the pain of regret. The choice is yours. Discipline: "the ability to pursue what one believes is right, despite temptations to abandon it." Folly: "lack of good sense or normal prudence and foresight." The pig who built his house out of brick made a choice which required discipline because of the skill and time required to build it.  The pig who build his out of sticks made his choice, the easy way out, and wound up with only regret. (and homeless...) When you build your house on the rock of Christ Jesus, it takes discipline. Lots of it!  And if you build your house on the sand, you will reap regret, because the storms are guaranteed to come against both houses.  Give a listen to Big Tent Revival's song "2 sets of Jones's" for clarity. (https://youtu.be/KQE5PNRLZ40) God announced that they WILL come.......

    There's Still Hope! Do you think that God has possibly given up on you? Do you wonder if you've drifted too far?  If you do, I think we should together take a look at the Biblical truth of the Patience, Grace and Loyalty of God.  1st off, lets set the record straight.  "So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie.   Heb 6:18 He tells us about Himself here. Remember, He cannot lie!   "The Lord is compassionate and merciful, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. Ps 103:8 and again;    "The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, Slow to anger and great in Mercy." Ps 145:8   Don’t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you and me? When God says something more than once He is trying to drive home a vital truth to us. It is almost incomprehensible to me when reading the books of Kings and Chronicles about how this ki...
