In the middle of the ugly...it is so easy to focus on the negative, the bad, the fear, the darkness. So, every week I try at least once, to post a prayer where we really aren't asking for anything, but just giving thanks.
Giving thanks for the beautiful one that is struggling today, that you love so much. And giving thanks for our circumstances even in the middle of the darkest valley.
Because when we stop and allow ourselves to be filled with gratitude it pushes the pain and the hate and the fear and all that ugly right out of us.
And it allows His light to shine in and through us.
May you basque in his love and light today.
October 28, 2018 Our prayer for our loved one today:
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NIV [16] Rejoice always, [17] pray continually, [18] give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
Lord, today is a difficult day for so many of us. Lord, for most, there is an empty spot at our tables and in our hearts. Lord, we know of no other way to get through the difficulties then to press into you and give thanks. Lord today we rejoice, rejoice in the loved one you gave us and in (his/her) precious life. Lord, we give thanks. We give thanks for choosing us to be (our loved one's) family and for giving us this precious one. And Lord, we will pray continually until (our loved one) is home and fully alive in Christ Jesus our Lord. We thank you Lord that we have a God we can come to who hears our prayers and who gives us the power and strength to walk through this day. We pray today in your Son's precious name. Amen
