Waiting, trusting, and hoping are intricately connected, like golden strands interwoven to form a strong chain. Trusting is the central strand, because it is the response from My children that I desire the most. Waiting and hoping embellish the central strand and strengthen the chain that connects you to Me. Waiting for Me to work, with your eyes on Me, to evidence that you really do trust Me. If you mouth the words, "I trust You" while anxiously trying to make things go your way, your words ring hollow. Hoping is future-directed, connecting you to your inheritance in heaven. However, the benefits of hope fall fully on you in the present.
Because you are Mine, you don't just pass time in your waiting. You can wait expectantly, in hopeful trust. Keep your "antennae" out to pick up even the faintest glimmer of My Presence.John 14:1
English Standard Version
“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.
Psalm 27:14
English Standard Version
Wait for the Lord;
be strong, and let your heart take courage;
wait for the Lord!
Hebrews 6:18-20
English Standard Version
so that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us. We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain, where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.
My Prayer
Lord, my words, "I trust you" sometimes are just words because my actions don't say that I am really trusting you. Sometimes I don't know what it really looks like in my life to trust You. Show me. Show me what this means in my life because I want my life to be about trust. I want to believe in You. I want to wait on You for your timing.

You know it is so amazing in reading this devotion this morning, because I had questions in my heart about an issue. I wake this morning to find my directive... TRUST HIM... WAIT
ReplyDeleteBeing that I'm one to try and get things out of the way ASAP,
I choose to be patient and obey. I thank you for allowing the Lord to use you in a mighty way. I have the booklet, and I just decided to look for it online... It was here waiting for me!!! Amen and God bless you.
Amen!
DeleteAmen! I resemble that "get it out of the way ASAP" thing 😉 Learning to let go, help me Jesus! Thank you!
DeleteIf my hair was longer I'd be braiding it today to set this devotion firmly in my heart.
DeleteI just love you Audra! 😍 Been reading your comments for four years now and you really are just like a bright sunny day!! Thanks for all you bring to this heavenly family here!! 🙏✝️💜
DeleteI so needed to read this today. God's Word is so timely. You wrote this prayer in 2014 and I could apply it to myself today. The comment above was written a year ago and it is exactly what I needed to hear. I say I trust, yet am I trusting HIM or am I trusting in my own ability? Thank you for taking the time to expound on these devotions. It truly meets a need. And for today: I will trust Him!
ReplyDeleteSuch good Word for today, and everyday. Let my trust affirmations be based in true faith, not my own understanding or ego. Thank you Father, for the so many blessings in my life that are demonstrated by my trust in you. As that trust becomes more real I am certain even more blessings will be revealed. I love you, I trust you, I thank you.
DeleteDon’t be afraid just Believe! For my daughter Elle today I will turn all my trust in you Lord!
DeleteI am looking for help here on Earth this information just brings it right back to letting go of a Formal education and career in Healthcare and look to Jesus and God the Father to show me the way for the issues that plague me and give me the courage and confidence they will show me the way. By truly trusting them!
DeleteThis is spot on for me. God, lead me and teach me to FULLY rely on You. Trust and not worry. What a powerful and freeing statement.
ReplyDeleteAmen to all of the previous comments.
ReplyDeleteI must agree with the others. I started following you maneky because you include the daily scriptures for each reading. This is my 5th year following Jesus Calling and my second year following your bible tags. Thank you for your insight. I hope all is well with you and your family. You are a gift for many of us!
ReplyDeleteGod Bless you!!! ❤🙇♀️🕊❤
Thank you for the kind words. Glad the Lord can use this sinners words to encourage you. We all need each other. That’s for sure.
DeleteAmen to all the above!! The Lord provides and His timing is perfect :) Trust God always 🙏🏼 God Bless!!
ReplyDeleteI am so in need of prayer for one of my cases. And I got on this site that has met so may needs and see my own prayer, this time last year. Please pray with me as I help one of my cases in a way I can't. Just as I said a year ago, "Am I trust in my own ability or His?" That is my question today, only not in regard to my own life, but the life of one of my cases. Tomorrow, I will go with her to the Attorney's office. I am driving her b/c she is 72 years old and doesn't want to go alone. Neither would I. I reached out to my upper management and, as always they are in support of me, making my decisions in the best interest of our constituents. I was told, "Of course - GO! But DO NOT GIVE ADVICE." My husband has said, "Be careful." God is saying, "Be Careful!!!" Please pray with me, that I am CAREFUL. Let me be a vehicle of light. "like golden strands interwoven to form a strong chain." Nothing more, nothing less. Let me WAIT, on you Lord. "Waiting and hoping embellish the central strand and strengthen the chain that connects you to Me. Waiting for Me to work, with your eyes on Me, to evidence that you really do trust Me." Help me trust you, Lord. Let me be the help - the advocate for this vulnerable woman. Let me be sharp, Lord - to discern Your Truth. Please, friends, fellow-believers, pray with me. I will tune in tomorrow morning, asking again, that He show me the Way. Humbled to be the one called in this woman's life. Don't let me flub this up, God! And in the meantime, praying for my friend, whose daughter is holding on to her 2 kids, praying for Justice. Prayers for insightful wisdom. AND, in the meantime, give me time to be with my husband - whose wisdom I SO appreciate. Can you tell I feel a little overwhelmed? Eating dinner with my one, true, love and going to bed. Will wake up and read more tomorrow. Looking forward to WISDOM!
ReplyDeleteNorah, as you know, God will provide answers. Just stay in "listen" mode especially since cautioned by many to stay silent on advice. Praying for wisdom, guidance, and peace. Amen.
DeleteHi Norah! I will be praying for you.
DeleteIt is a year later, Norah, and because so many prayers were lifted up to God at your request, it is good for us to know how God responded. Maybe I need to tune in tomorrow to find out. God has given you a calling in which He can pour out His love on people who need to feel it again and they do through your love and dedication. God be with you.
DeleteStaying in "listen" mode, MadFox. I have been putting many burdens at His feet and leaving them there.
DeleteWait for the Lord;
be strong, and let your heart take courage;
wait for the Lord!
Waiting, Trusting and Believing. Thank you Lord for answered prayers. Make everything right. I know you can. Amen.
Finding out this morning about 3 procedures, and if I'll receive 1/2 or all of them. In any case I need to get back to work! Already missing today, a very important day at work and I'm a little concerned about everything getting done correctly. Thank you Jesus for an opportunity to fast, as I do not usually on my own. 48 hours past it as of 8 a.m. this morning.
ReplyDeletePraying for you and for the best outcome.
DeleteThank you!
DeleteThank you for your prayer, MadFox. I am trusting and praying for all of the same things. Much calmer today. Randy, you will be in my prayers too. We serve and love a great, big, wonderful God and we have Christ in us, who will guide us. Praying for resolution in so many areas. In the name of Jesus Christ.
ReplyDeleteNorah - the Lord is guiding you. You are blessed. I am praying for you.
DeleteRandy, praying for positive results. God has a plan. Hold his hand. Norah, you and God can totally do this. What a lucky lady she is to have someone so full of love and devotion helping her.
ReplyDeleteWe are all in need of prayer Father God. At this moment we gather our hearts together to lift Norah and Randy to you. Their steps are ordered by you each day. Today is no different, you're on it! You know the outcome of their desire for today. The steps to them is what matters, "trust". Amen
ReplyDeleteProverbs 3:5-6. "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." It is always liberating to allow the Holy Spirit to work through our lives. When we have to make a big decision and are troubled not knowing what to do, we must be obedient and allow His decisions flow through us. His guidance is always there if we step back, be still and meditate on the answer. May blessings surround all of us today!! Trust in the Lord for He is good, His mercy endures forever!! ❤❤❤
ReplyDeleteAmen to all above. Love the strands analogy today... makes so much sense and hit home today.
ReplyDeleteI too love the strands analogy. I'll look for something to braid today as a reminder of TRUST, WAITING and HOPING. And the next time I find some hair to braid, I'll weave the reminder in.
DeleteI braided three scarves, and it occurred to me that the braided threesome was stronger than the one strand.
DeleteAmen! Yes 3 is greater in the numerical sense as well as stronger in the means in which we have our faith weaved by 3 critical elements:Trust, (in HIM Always) Love (love HIM & our brethren Always Faith (maintain our Faith through reading the living word, asking for HIM to lead our ways and accepting with thanksgiving all that transpired as a result of HIS Unprecedented Love and power or u can weave Trust, Waiting and Hope- can’t have one of the 3 without the other for HIM ❤️For HE is the Alpha Omega, the great I AM, praise you Jah! Praise You Jesus Christ for loving us unconditionally and providing the armor of GOD
DeletePRAISE YAWEH & YESHUA
Read this after morning prayer asking Him for guidance with my 19 yr old son to find employment whuke dealing with anxiety depression and memory problems. I will trusthope and wait on His perfect plan. Please pray for us and thank you for Bible Tags
ReplyDeletePraying Unknown for His perfect plan for your son!
DeleteAny updates you wish to share? I am praying for your son and for you, our dear brother friend in Christ, Mark L.
DeleteI also want you to know how much I appreciate, and receive from, your prayerful posts, which paint a large picture for me with few words. Much Love ❤ Brie

Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. PSALM 27:14
ReplyDeleteAMAZING timing as always. I pray daily for help in trusting His plan.... somedays are better than others but for the most part, I am not good at this. My heart's desire to reconcile with my husband and keep our 3 boys from living in a broken home comes from a good place... but that doesn't mean it's His will. I say I trust Him but I am scared... I suppose its all part of the learning curve
ReplyDeleteDear Unknown, all of us have a hard time with the waiting part; we are so use to forcing things to have them our own way. Of course the key to waiting is patience (the root word for patience is long suffering) which means putting up with pain for the time being until the right moment comes that opens the door to make things better (the cross is the ultimate example). Do the right thing in the moments you are given (as Jesus did on the way to the cross), trusting the Father to be doing the right thing the whole time. God be with you.
DeleteJan Gridley- lifting you up today. May your testing go smoothly and the results be the best possible outcome. So nice to "see and hear" from you.
ReplyDeleteJesus, I trust in You. CO
Waiting while worshiping, worshiping in the wait changes the complexion of the situation. My encouraging words to all today in some gap of waiting " take heart for He has conquered the world." He has conquered every problem, every fear, every challenge. He is working to finalize and solve the seemingly desperate and hopeless. Our job is to trust and thru that trust our hope will develop, creating a space of peace through the challenge. The severity changes its shape when viewed thru Gods abilities. My own Son's were facing desperate situations, unthinkable happenings for a Mom to wrap her brain around. Many years have passed and the wait continues...Thru the darkest, deepest valley God shows up with His stunning healing light! Astounding miracles abound fresh each day. Is the situation over? Not yet. But the Lord has done unimaginable work in our family, going where only He can go. It has not been an easy journey, many tears, but also many sins of my own addressed along the way. Many opportunities for ministering to His children thru my specific pain. While the Father was working on my family, I was feeding His sheep. I was trusting and continue to work on this. For trust is where the activation of Gods miracles occur ( perhaps not the miracles we are praying for but miracles He has designed). Thank you Lord Jesus for setting me free to work on your behalf as you continue to move my sons closer to wellness each moment. Thank you for allowing me to be involved in sharing the love of Jesus in the wait. I love you Jesus. God bless all of you. God is with you!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful snapshot, Fern, of how today's reading looks in and throughout our daily lives. Thanks for sharing.
DeleteSo very true and helpful, sweet Fern. I'll take this with me today: For trust is where the activation of Gods miracles occur (perhaps not the miracles we are praying for but miracles He has designed). Amen to that! I trust Him and any miracles He has designed.
DeleteGodsdaughter, sweet4G, MarkL and all others who requested prayers in yesterday's blog.
ReplyDeleteI want you to know that those requests were lifted up to the Lord in my prayer last night. We serve an absolute AWESOME God who hears the cries of His children, a Father who knows their pain, brokenness and sufferings, a Loving Father who has answers to everything we face. Sometimes it comes in ways we don't expect, but rest assure that He's got your back and will turn it around for Your good and for His Glory!
This morning as I prayed for you, I am thanking Him for what He has already set into motion for you: His Peace and Rest, His Grace and Favor, His Love, His strength, His Blessings, His Healing, His Provision, His Protection, His Restoration and His VICTORY given to you over Your circumstances! May our Father God of LOVE, wrap you ALL in His Righteousness through Jesus Christ the Righteous ONE!
Father, I Thank You for their testimonies to Your Glory in Jesus name!
VICTORY is yours my brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus. Trust, Believe it and Receive it!
Maplewood NJ
Amen and Amen. Looking forward to hearing about more victories because God can do all things. His mercy endureth forever. He understands our needs better than we can. He guides our steps because He already has prepared the future. He opens the right doors because He knows what's behind them.
DeleteTrusting, Believing with an open Heart to Receive.
Thanks dear sister!
Thank you Father, for this new day, a chance to begin again in gratitude, putting all fear in that lake of fire where it belongs! The light of God surrounds us, the love of God enfolds us, the power of God protects us,the Presence of God watches over us, the abundance of God showers down upon us. Wherever we are, God is, and all is well! Thank you, Jesus! I trust you Jesus. Peace be with us all in the whisper of your name. ♥️ - audra
ReplyDeleteThis prayer is such a blessing, audra! It says it all. Thank you.
DeleteAmen Audra. All is well in His presence.
DeleteJesus, I trust in YOU! Amen.
ReplyDeletePlease give me the courage and strength to believe and not have "hollow words". Jesus, I DO trust in You! Amen.
"Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me." (Psalm 51:10)
ReplyDelete(Matthew 9:27-34) As word is spreading rapidly about Jesus, I am noticing three types of responses in the people who come out to see Him. I see broken people, sincerely reaching out to Him asking for mercy as is the case today with two blind men and a demoniac who is mute. I see many other people keeping their distance from Jesus, simply being entertained by the healing that He is doing. Then there are those who have come out to be critical. No matter what Jesus does, they interpret it with a negative spin. I am noticing that only those who truly trust in Him and believe He is the fulfillment of God's promises for salvation are the ones that are healed and brought to wholeness while all the others remain unaffected by Him. It seems to me that for those who have no immediate need, they are content to let Him walk by and not allow Him to have an impact on their lives. They seem to like things the way they have them. Then there are those who are simply hardhearted through the years of building their own kingdom and seeking to have everything their own way. Unfortunately for them, they are having their own success in their misdirected efforts, thus they criticize anyone who lives contrary to the way they do. My conclusion is the broken people are the most blessed while the ones who 'have it all together (according to their own interpretation)' are the most broken. I take a deep look into my own soul to see where I am broken and without surprise, there are many places that are in need of healing, many ways in which I do not have a singularly focused heart and a spirit that is purely loving as it was created to be. The path to wholeness will be the same as it was for the two blind men, "Have mercy on me, Son of David!" and to trust in Who He is, waiting and hoping all the while for my heart and spirit to be made whole. The longer I am following Jesus, the more I am discovering how much I need Him...and how much I am blessed in my brokenness. This is a most enlightening day.
God be with you, my dear friends. With love, Bob
Me too. Bob.
DeleteThere are many places in me that are in need of healing. God knows every weakness. May He give me eyes to see above the useless stuff of this world and focus on Him and the light He shines each day upon my path. He knows how much I need Him. I too am blessed in my brokenness because my strength and comfort is from the Lord. He is close to the broken hearted.
Bob, putting us in the present with the times when Jesus walked is a real gift of writing. I am enlightened by your observations and how relevant they are to today. Thanks for the light into perspective. Please keep on keepin' on, you have gifts that inspire trust, waiting and hope in the Lord. 😉♥️🙏
DeleteLike Audra, I also experience the Word differently when you put yourself, and therefore us, in it. It gets me out of judging long ago and far away and gets me into deciding who am I in that situation and what I choose to do in the circumstance. Thanks be to God for enlightenment, and thank you BOB for holding His flashlight.
DeleteThank you for your beautiful insights Bob!!! :):):)
DeletePlease pray for Brenda, a faithful member of my church fell last night and broke her hip. She is a believer. Surgery is scheduled for today. Praying for you as you pray for me.
ReplyDeleteMost gracious God, take Brenda into Your loving arms. May she feel secure and be at peace. May she feel healing and wholeness restored to her physical self through the surgery and recovery process. May she have certainty of all things being well as she becomes well again. Amen
DeleteSassy Mom, How is Brenda's hip now. I pray it is much better.
DeleteBrenda is doing the Happy Dance!
DeleteThat's great news Sassy Mom! Hurray! Thank You Jesus!
DeleteLord, my lufe doies not always reflect my words. Sometimes my shallow understanding and growing relationship with you fail to show my faith, hope, and trust in You. Lord, please show me how to put my words into action when this happens. I want to live for You, trusting in Your plan for me. Please help me to make my action match my words and intentions. Help me to live for You.Amen
ReplyDeleteMark L, your prayer is shaping your heart toward that end. As you continue in this prayer on a regular basis, you will realize more and more this desire blossoming within you and blossoms ultimately produce the fruit you are seeking. God be with you.
DeleteBeautiful encouragement Bob. It helps me too.
DeleteBy God's design, all seeds planted need time to grow and mature. This brings us back to today's Words...TRUST, WAIT, HOPE. May our seasons be rich in growth.
DeleteVery true Audra!
DeleteI Trust You Lord, I TRUST You, no matter what or how long, I TRUST YOU. Thank You for another day of hope and waiting on You!
ReplyDeleteWith Faith, comes waiting on the Lord which is the reality we live in and created by what we choose to believe (God's Word). This is something we might spend our whole lives learning. The Word of God says: “God works for those who wait for Him”. Our responsibility as believers is to do the waiting and trusting and allow God to do His work at His timing. As we wait on God, we are telling Him that Love Him, our Hope is in Him and we TRUST Him!
Psalms 25:1-5 says: “To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul. O my God, I trust in You; Let me not be ashamed; Let not my enemies triumph over me. Indeed, let no one who waits on You be ashamed; Let those be ashamed who deal treacherously without cause. Show me Your ways, O LORD; Teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation; On You I wait all the day”.
The question for believers is: Do we Trust God enough to wait for Him? Our answer should be YES! Our all-powerful God who overcame death and persevered from generation after generation so that all His children might come to know Him, has asked us to look beyond ourselves and the uncertainty we face and trust Him enough to wait. He wants us to wait for Him and His purposes for our lives. When we wait on God, we are not just doing so for the sole purpose to answer prayers or His return, we do so for Him, His character, Love and Grace. This waiting period requires us to feel the depth of our needs and inability to do things by ourselves and it also lets Him know that we trust and depend on Him.
Whatever waiting period you are in, we have a promise in the Bible that tells us not only is God working on our behalf, but also HOW He is working! So, we must claim it while in our time of waiting: “I am the Lord, and when it is time, I will make these things happen quickly”, Isaiah 60:22.
“I wait silently for God alone, For my expectation is from Him. He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory; The rock of my strength, And my refuge, is in God. Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us”. Psalm 62-5-8.
Father, We thank You for answers to our prayers in Your perfect timing, reveal what is in our hearts, and prepare us to handle the answer accordingly when it comes. Help us to pray in faith consistently and to trust, believe and then wait for Your timing. May we not live by feelings, but by faith. We choose to trust you, and refuse to believe the lies of the enemy. We choose to be faithful in prayer (Colossians 4:2) and please deepen our understanding and give us greater knowledge of what You are doing in our lives. We choose to hold unswervingly to the hope that we profess. Please stretch our faith in the midst of our wait, like You did with Peter during a storm at sea in Matthew 8:23-27. We Thank You for all Your wisdom and for Loving us as only You can, in Jesus name.
Maplewood NJ
Praying that beautiful prayer. I am waiting on the Lord for quite a few things and so many good people need His help. I loved this encouragement you gave me. "This waiting period requires us to feel the depth of our needs and inability to do things by ourselves and it also lets Him know that we trust and depend on Him." Trusting Believing and Waiting on Him. Amen
DeleteAmen Dearest Maplewood, thank you for the Wisdom, Knowledge,and Faith you've shared and shown over the years. Wherever your spirit is I'm sure it's shining brightly. Thank You!!!
DeleteBrenda Update - Surgery is scheduled for 4 PM this afternoon, 5 hours from now. Thank you for continued prayers.
ReplyDeleteTrust- what a powerful word with fantastic consequences. I continually say 'Jesus, I trust in You' as a reminder that if I say it enough and really listen to it, it will become a true belief and part of me. I struggle daily, but know trusting in God is the answer, while keeping in mind it is in HIS timing, not mine. Waiting, trusting, hoping. Thank you Jesus, for always being there as I fail and fall...forgiving me, loving me and holding my hand as you pick me up.
ReplyDeleteI am going to reread all of the previous inspiring posts from today. I will pray for each one of you, and for any requests you have written. I will say some additional prayers for those who have chosen to read but not write a comment. Thank you all for your prayers as well. CO
Dear CO, Praying also for all those who pray for us and do not post. May God bless you all and answer your prayers and lead your paths. We love you.
DeleteJesus, I trust in you. I find myself saying this many times throughout my day as you do, CO. Thank you and Jeanne and all praying.
DeleteJesus, I trust in you. I can't get through one day without you.
DeleteAmen Loveconquersall. Me too.
Amen Amen Amen
ReplyDeleteI've missed 'talking' with all of you. Even though I've read, I miss the interaction. Praying for Jan Gridley, Brenda, Randy, and all who have requested specific prayers. Thankful, as always for Maplewood, Bob and MadFox. Sassy Mom - always! We are a blessed bunch, thanks to Chris Peyton's diligence all those years ago.
ReplyDeleteFern, my heart goes out to you and to you, God's Daughter. I am too tired to even fill you in on my last week, but thankful for all of you and your prayers. I'm thankful for my hub being home and my kitchen progressing.
The Coronavirus is wrecking havoc or at least attempting to. Thank you for Your Hand of protection, Father and for wisdom being at its highest.
Love and Blessings to all of you. Looking forward to hearing results and victories.
One year later and this virus is still causing chaos, poverty, sickness and death but God is in our corner and His Hedge of Protection is around all of us who seek Him with an open and trusting heart. Praying for your good husband's healing and for your strength and healing, dear Norah. And Maplewood, JJ, MadFox, and all those who desperately need your help and healing right now. Thank you Father for all this in the Name of Jesus.
DeleteSomething a friend said to me the other day has helped my perspective. Problems are to be solved... Conditions are to be managed. I pray to God where all solutions come from and all guidance for management will arise. In His timing, not ours. Thank you Lord, for the unfolding and reveal of the Truth in managing the challenging conditions in our lives for the people and leaders in our world. In Jesus's name I pray.
DeleteThank you all for your kind prayers! So grateful for a loving good good Father and sweet prayer warriors lifting up someone you’ve never met! Today was a better day❤️ Please know that although I haven’t commented before yesterday...y’all are in my daily prayers! Love to all! AL GRL
ReplyDeleteAsking for prayers for my Nephew KM, who is in his 40's and living back at home with his Mother. KM is angry, negative, and verbally unkind to her and himself. Only Jesus can heal KM. He needs to go to Jesus, but it does not appear he has nor wants to. I am praying for God to change KM's heart and turn it toward HIM and asking HIM to loosen satan's grip on KM. Thanks for praying with me, JC Prayer Warriors. With our prayer filled gathering intricately connecting Trusting, Waiting, and Hoping, I can wait expectantly, in hopeful trust, assured He can and will bring it to pass. I'll let you know when I pick up the faintest glimmer of His Presence in KM. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
ReplyDeleteFather, please open KM's heart and mind to You so that You can work in and through his life. Place encouragement, strength,
Deletepeace, and comfort into his mother, aunt Brie, and himself and lift them up above these circumstances surrounding them. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen 🙏.
Praying that KM will open his heart to You Lord. Praying for strength and peace for Brie and his mother. Trust, Wait, Hope. JE
DeleteThanks to the Holy Spirit who we have asked to touch KMs heart and bring peace of mind to his family.
DeleteSending up prayers for your Nephew KM.
ReplyDeleteJesus, Our Lord and Savior. Only You know KM's heart, mind, weaknesses and motives, and why he is acting this way. Remove the bitterness and darkness within him and turn his eyes to YOU and keep them there. Let him be an extension of Your love to his Mother. Let him seek you with his whole mind, heart and soul. We ask You to call him and guide him to say YES LORD. Change his life for good and let him see that the days with his Mother are counted and they are precious. Help him to make her days more joyful and blessed and renew his mind, life and spirit. He has this opportunity in YOU if he could only see it. Please give him new eyes to see the path you have prepared for him and soften his heart now so he will understand You are the only Way, the Truth and the Life. The only Light in his Darkness. Thank You and Amen.
Amen Jeanne joining in your prayer for KM. We trust You Lord, only You can change his heart.
DeleteBlessings from France
Lord, open KM's eyes so that he can see your face. Open his ears so that he can hear your voice. Lord, open his heart so that he can love as you do. Peace be with you sweet Brie. Amen!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful messages I am so blessed by this group and imagine we are all in different parts of the world ! What a blessing ! I am not very good at waiting....I have been waiting for a God fearing husband and now am getting older so I have given up but i know that am really sad on missing out on marriage life . Today I reminded that God's will is best and I am learning to love like Jesus requires us to say no to self’s constant demand for selfish ambition, wanting our own way, and putting ourselves first. Growing in patience inevitably involves some form of waiting, whether in a long line at the grocery story or a lifetime for a loved one to come to Christ. When we lay our requests before him, it is by faith that we wait and watch in anticipation of God’s good work in us and others.
ReplyDeleteMin Ahadi- thank you for your faithfulness in prayer and hope. Thank you for being willing to be vulnerable and honest with your JC family. God loves your heart. He may still have a wonderful husband for you. It took a long time for me. I will pray with you and for you. Enjoy this season of singleness, too, as you wait. There are freedoms and opportunities that marriage cannot provide. But keep giving your heart and committing your desire to the Lord. It is a God-given desire. He will hold and develop your heart. ❤️
DeleteAmen GTT, My same thought.
DeleteDear Min Ahadi, Don't close the door to a true love. God may have the perfect God fearing husband right around the bend. But enjoy your singleness and the peace that surrounds you in God's presence. You have a beautiful heart and you're seeking God's help and guidance. He wants you to be blessed and He can lead you to the desires of your Heart. Wait on Him and Wait in Him. God bless you and your daughter in all things.
Father, I will wait on You expectantly and joyfully while lovingly adoring You and Your wonderful, amazing ways. Thank You Jesus. Praise the Lord continually and always and Bless His holy name.
ReplyDeleteThis really nails me. Lord, help me to trust You as I see Your will develop and unfold! I tend to be impatient....You know me, and I end up trying to take back the very things I bring to You. Lord, help me to be still, and know that You are God. To borrow the words from a children’s song, “I am weak but you are strong. YES, Jesus loves me....”
ReplyDeleteThank You for loving this tired old sinner. I will continue to step towards You every day, and pray that my reflection shows more of You to the world with each step!
Waiting, trusting, and hoping are intricately connected, like golden strands interwoven to form a strong chain. Trusting is the central strand.
ReplyDeleteThis morning I read and meditated on the role of St. Joseph as the foster Father of Christ.
I'm discovering that the silence found in waiting, trusting, and hoping is more than passive quietness. Silence is an active way of listening to God our Heavenly Father; it is an active way of saying “I’m open to you, Lord. I want to hear Your Voice and then I want to obey it.”
The mastery of understanding in silence, also silences any negative voices affecting us, and turns up the volume on the positive ones.
As people of God, we can learn from St. Joseph to quiet our mind, our heart, and our souls, and to rest in God’s Hands as we make braids during our situations by intertwining waiting, with trusting, and hoping. Jesus help us. We place all our trust in You. Amen.
From "The Power of Being Thankful"
DeletePrayer of Thanks while braiding the Golden Strands of WAITING, TRUSTING, HOPING:
Dear Heavenly Father God,
I thank You for helping me wait, trust, and hope with gratitude, while giving me Your Strength during this process.
I thank You for Your Good Plan and Your Good Purpose for me.
I thank You for knowing EXACTLY WHAT I need, and EXACTLY WHEN I need it.
I thank You and I trust You with a grateful heart. In Jesus' Name. Amen
Thank you Brie! More good food for me to fill my soul with.
DeleteI just love you all in some kind of way. I read what you write and it touches my heart as if you were standing in front of me. I'm hoping we will all meet up in Heaven, but if it doesn't work that way, I sure do appreciate this time with you all so very much. Love, Kathy
ReplyDeleteWith God as our Pilot and Captain we love and appreciate the time well spent with you too, our dear Kathy.
DeletePraying for Jeanne, her Gregg, Abby & the loss of a loved one. Brie, lifting KM, that this tumultuous journey will end at the cross. MadFox, the Lord is in control of those stem cells. Amen & amen. I've covered this family in my ear room.����
DeleteLove you too Kathy! Thanks for your prayers dear Jan. Praying with you and for you and our family.
DeleteOur dear sister friend in Christ, Kathy. How I miss you and long to see you post again. Until then, I plan to keep on Waiting, trusting, praying, hoping, and braiding like Rapunzel in Jesus' Name. Amen.
DeleteMuch Love ❤ Brie
So sorry all. I updated my phone, & it got messed up. There's a "in" in my post name. Instead of warrior, it's "ear"? HEEEELP��
ReplyDeleteCorrection: "warroom"
ReplyDeleteMistakes are part of being human. I love you as you are, just like me, imperfect but loved.
DeleteAs I continue my Lenten reflections (and now am led to share), I returned to the first day's thought and reflected on it again in light of what has been covered so far.
ReplyDeleteDay One started with a most popular verse from Jeremiah, "I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope..." Like any good parents who bring a child into this world, there are hopes and aspirations for that child and the child will be taught with the hope of bringing about those dreams. It is no different with our heavenly Father who bore us into this world with a perfect hope and plan for our lives. The main difference between parents and the Father aspirations are that the Father's plans are perfect where even the best of parents, the plans will be less so. But what is also true for earthly parents is that their hopes and dreams will be realized to the degree the child embraces what he/she is taught and has modeled before him/her. It is no less the case with God. The plans for welfare and not harm, for a future with hope is dependent upon the embracing of what the Father has taught and practiced in Jesus, His Son. To the degree we are willing to except the Father's will by choosing obedience to His commandments (His guidance for our wellbeing) is the degree the welfare and future with hope unfolds. Lenten is given to get back to the basics, the Father has plans for us of which we need to love with all our being. As we pray (and truly mean), 'Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven' and allow that to shape our heart, the welfare and future with a hope unfolds. Then the rest of Jeremiah's words come to pass: "Then when you call upon Me and come and pray to Me, I will hear you. When you search for Me, you will find Me; if you seek Me with all your heart, I will let you find Me, says the LORD, and I will restore your fortunes and gather you...and bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile (like the prodigal, the place you chose to live)." The divine plan of the Father is realized through obedience and Lent is given to bring that to our attention once again lest we forget where our home is.
God be with you! With love, Bob
Thanks for the reflection BOB!
DeleteDear Heavenly Father God, Would You please help me to truly mean it when I pray and when I say, 'Thy Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven'?
I want to. In Jesus' Name. Amen
Beautiful share from the heart 💜
DeleteWonderful teaching dear Bob. Thank you.
DeleteSuch insightful words, Bob. Thank you, as the others have said, for this teaching! I so needed it!
DeleteThank you Bob for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanksgiving report .....I was praying for God to make a way because I didnt have a salary for the month of April. My employer agreed to pay me weekly and this has been helpful with sorting out transport cost. My fridge for 8 years coughed and broke down, God provided a beautiful Samsung Fridge it is an amazing how God came through. Thank Father I read your word , your gifts are better than we can ever imagine Matthew 7:11
ReplyDeleteIf you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him! and for this JC family that stands with me all I can say is thank you!
Waiting in hopeful trust for our prayers to be answered. Leaving my Mom and Sis to go home before the snow comes. I don’t wanna be away from Rick too long because of his A-Fib. Following God’s lead and waiting on Him to make all things right as only He can. Thank You Jesus.
ReplyDeleteMay our heavenly Father's loving, healing hands touch Rick's heart and make it whole. Please restore his heart Lord, like only You can. Your way is perfect Lord. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen 🙏. God bless.
DeleteSafe travel dear Jeanne. May our God of all power give you the strength you need today as you are ministering to the needs of your family🙏💕
DeleteTraveling mercies dear Jeanne! Stay focused on the task at hand and let go and let God ♥️ your DH Rick is in good hands, the same ones that hold you ✝️
DeleteDearest sisters, Janet, Jan and Audra, Your sincere prayers were heard and I am safely home as the snow continues to fall. Our God is so faithful. I put a pot of tomato sauce with sausage and vegetables on the stove to simmer and I am actually resting now. Hallelujah! All went well yesterday when I brought my sister to the orthopedic doctor. We were there for almost 3 hours but she got her knees and her neck checked out. She will be getting gel injections in her knees and her doctor prescribed a low dosage muscle relaxer for her neck and also gave her exercises to do for both her neck and her knees. God was guiding everything. Rick was so happy to hear me coming through the door today. Thanking God that he seems to be doing okay with his A-Fib. Praying for you dear ones! Keep looking for His bright light along your paths today.
DeleteThank You Jesus for reminding us that we are always in your saving and healing presence. Amen
There snow Mercy like Traveling Mercy, which I am praying for you, our Jeanne.
DeletePraying for you Emma to be completely healed from the stroke. My hubby suffered one last year. God has been faithful. As the devo stated, wait, trust & hope. It's the strong strand that we need to hang on to. Love & blessings to you🙏🙏🙏💕
ReplyDeleteAmen dear Jan. Joining you in your prayer that dear Emm will receive God’s healing unto a complete and perfect recovery. Trusting in the Lord’s power and grace.
DeleteSo sorry Emm, auto correct insisted on "Emma". So annoying 😠
ReplyDeleteLord Jesus I trust You. So many times when in prayer for God to make a difference in a situation or for someone, He says very clearly in my thoughts "Trust Me in all things". Often time goes by, the prayer need forgotten. Then almost out of the blue, you hear of the answer to the prayer. He neither slumbers nor sleeps, and EVERY prayer is answered. The answer may be 'yes', 'no' or 'wait'. This is where "Waiting, trusting, and hoping" in the Lord comes in. Remain faithful in prayer. Without a shadow of a doubt, God hears your prayer and WILL answer.
ReplyDeleteSo very true dear brother! And what a blessing to receive an answer to our prayer well after we have forgotten we asked Him for His Help! He knows our hearts so intimately He answers our prayers even without hearing them. Hallelujah!
DeleteBlessings family and my prayers for strength, healing and peace.
ReplyDeleteAbba, help me trust you completely and to surrender ALL areas of my life to you. May I be still and know that You are God and all things are possible with you. Thank you for the blessings of this day. I pray that I may worship you in the present moments, and not worry about the future which you have already planned for me, knowing that in all things you work for the good for those who love you, who are called according to your promise.
Shalom!
Thank you dear Rich for your blessings and beautiful prayer that echoes the words in my own heart. Amen and Amen.
ReplyDeleteGod's Best to all of you, Dear JC Family. I was happy to hear you are home, Jeanne. Many prayers for each of you since earlier this morning. Praying for safe travels for my son and his family, for my dear friend and her hub, for my DIL's mommy driving here, for all out there on the road.
ReplyDeleteAsking for prayer for a dear friend's Son in Law, who is having liver issues. He is young (40's) and has a little boy and a younger wife). Praying mightily that he is healed in the name of Jesus Christ. Lifting our Country and of course, Ukraine. Our God is a mighty God. He hears our prayers.
Bob asked last year about the Case I had that I'd asked for prayer about. She is still one of my cases. It still isn't settled. Many hurt people in my job. I'm thankful that I can tell them I pray for them and that they receive it.
Enjoy this day, dear Family. Love and Blessings to each of you.
Praying with you for your friend's Son in Law that God is healing his liver and bringing him back to good health in Jesus' Name. Praying for Ukraine and our Country. Yes we serve a mighty God who hears our prayers.
ReplyDeleteAmen. He is faithful and compassionate, and prayers from a sincere heart are very powerful. Much love and blessings to you dear Norah and to all our JC Family.
Waiting, trusting, and hoping as I remain in God's presence. A lot of things going on but He is holding it all together. Thanks for your prayers for my dear friend Jessie who just had major uterus surgery and also for my friend Helen's young son, Kyle who will be having major surgery on his spine on tomorrow (Monday) and also that God is healing Helen's lymphoma. I know he's healing mine. Thank You Jesus! Trusting in His promises. Praying for His faithfulness and hoping we all receive more answers to our prayers.
ReplyDeleteIsaiah 41:10
Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’
In prayer for continued recovery for Jessie. That the hands of Jesus will be on the hands of the surgeon for Kyle. That Helen will feel the touch of the Lord on her body & continued touch for complete healing for yours dear Jeanne. Have a blessed Sabbath. 💞🙏🌈
DeleteThank you for your beautiful and sincere prayers dear Jan! Much love and gratitude! Praise Him who hears every one.
DeleteJoining Jan and you, Jeanne, in praying for Jessie, Kyle and Helen. May they feel God's loving arms around them and have peace in their healing knowing He's bringing it to pass. This goes for you, too, our awesome sister in Christ, Jeanne.
DeleteWhen you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you. (Isaiah 43:2). Cause me to hear Your loving kindness in the morning, for in You do I trust; cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to You. (Psalm 143:8).
ReplyDeleteWonderful food dear sister! Thank you for your daily helping! God bless you in every little thing.
DeleteHeavenly Father, thank You and bless Your holy name 🙏 🙌! I praise You Lord always! Thank You for Your loving presence and Your perfect gentleness. I trust in You! You will lead me in Your truth and teach me. Thank You Jesus! In Jesus name, I pray, Amen.
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Janet for starting our day of worship with the word. Your prayer is mine also. Have a blessed Sabbath. 💞🙏🌈
DeleteYes, thank you, awesome Janet, for this prayer! Think about it...if we praise God throughout our days, and say, "I trust you, Jesus!" followed with some good praise music (even if it's playing in your head, lol), there isn't much room if any for worry, right?!
DeletePsalm 27:14 ESV "Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!'
ReplyDeleteIf the Psalms were available to Abram and he had read this verse maybe the nation of Israel would not be under threat of annihilation as it is and will be, until Jesus returns to the Mount of Olives.
Abram left Ur at approx 70 years of age, he left Haran at 75. God's promise to make a great nation through him was a long time coming. So Sarai and Abram took matter's into their own hands.
Ishmael was born when Abram was 86 and Issac wouldn't be born until Abram was 100.
We too, often make difficulties for ourselves when we think God needs a helping hand, you know, just to speed things up a bit. There's an old saying ' If it's worth waiting for, it's worth waiting for, so wait for it!'
If you are waiting on God for a promise to be fulfilled and that may be a long time, years maybe, 'Wait for the Lord'. If He wants help He will ask for it. If He said it, He will do it.
Numbers 23:19 ESV
"God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?"
Wait on Him in expectant anticipation, He will not disappoint.
Thanks dear Peter! Amen! We wait on Him because His promises and Words are true and reliable. In His Divinity He cannot lie. We can stake our whole lives on the truthfulness of His Words. Hallelujah.
DeleteAs we “wait for the Lord” let us Be strong and courageous prayer warriors as we continue to wage battle in this fallen world. “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” Eph 6:12 This sounds daunting, until you recall Jesus encouraging words:
ReplyDelete“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33
I think the key to this is Jesus says “ IN ME” you have peace. When we are abiding in and with Jesus, not trying to do it all on our own, is when we find the peace the surpasses all understanding. I know for me that it’s a constant reminder to myself to let go, quit taking it back, and trust in the promises of the Creator, our loving Father and king above all. To Him be all glory, honor and praise!
Again, thank you for all the support and prayers this past week. I saw many responses in my email, but not in the blog so I couldn’t respond directly. My wife’s mouth is getting better, btw, Amen!
Have a blessed sabbath!
Shalom🙏
Great Love and Blessings to you and your wife. Papa God, give these treasured souls Blessings without end and may they always have what they need to move forward and Praise You continually! Thank You that You inhabit the Praises of Your People! HALLELUJAH. I Pray and Believe in Jesus's Name, AMEN and AMEN.
DeleteThank you dear Rich! You spoke the truth. We must give Him the reins, and not yank them back. He can handle all our problems. The peace comes from trusting Him to do what He promises. I also must remind myself that He is taking care of everything so all I must do is live my life in Him.
DeleteJoining dear JJ in praying that you will receive God's faithfulness all through every area of your life and marriage. He knows where you need His help and strength.
Thank You Father for all this in the Name of Jesus. Amen and Amen.
We were able to figure out how to stream the third season of The Chosen. So good! Today, my dear friend, Betsy, and I will go see Jesus Revolution at the movie theater. Have heard such great things about it. Excited! Hoping you all feel God's presence and have a blessed day. Shalom.
ReplyDeleteWonderful dear NJS. Enjoy the movie and remember the times back then. Jesus was the Answer then and Answer now.
DeleteAmen dear Audra! He is on the move, still and again!
Enjoy the messages and testimonies in the movie! God is on the move! Still and again 😉
ReplyDeleteWe saw Jesus Revolution yesterday and really enjoyed it! So blessed to hear all is well with you, Rich C. and that your wife's mouth is doing better.
DeleteLove and Blessings to each of you!
So glad you enjoyed that movie dear Norah,
ReplyDeleteJoining in grateful prayers for Rich's dear wife's teeth and mouth. May God heal her completely, and also bring you, Rich, to perfect health. My good brother in love will be getting two of his teeth pulled next weekend. Already thanking God for a successful and smooth procedure, and a quick recovery. May He make all things right for us and our loved ones. His Will, not ours.
Please keep Jessie in your prayers for complete healing and tomorrow young Kyle gets his spine surgery.
Thank You Father for guiding the whole thing and bringing this good young boy back to perfect health so he can enjoy his life and be active again in Jesus' Name we pray for all these things. Amen.
God wants us to have courage and strength during times of darknes.
ReplyDeleteGod is working behind the scenes. DON'T GIVE UP HOPE!
God has designed us to be VICTORIOUS, an unstoppable force! We are UNSTOPPABLE because of WHO IS IN US---GOD!
Jesus came for us to have life in its
fulness. God's plan for us is GOOD!
Jeremiah 29:11 "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."
HALLELUJAH!!! GOD LOVES US AND HE ALWAYS WINS!!
These are GLORY DAYS not gloomy days!
Amen! God's promises are throughout the Bible...FEAR NOT, HE WINS!!!
DeleteThanks dear JJ! Yes and Amen! His plans for us are GOOD. I'm trusting in Him for more answered prayers, more healing, more comfort, and more guidance. We can't do anything alone, but with Him, we can do ALL THINGS. Yes HE ALWAYS WINS. These are GLORY DAYS. Thank You Jesus!
DeleteGoing to the Dermatologist this morning. Trusting in God that I will hear good news about a strange spot on my face. I've had it for a couple of years but never got around to having it checked. It's getting bigger so God said: GO! I know He will go with me.
Praying for so many people and God knows who they are and exactly what they need. Thanking God that the cancer treatments for Norah's DH, young Eli, my friend Mike, and my friend Mary will be God guided and effective. May God grant all our prayers in Jesus' Name. Amen
Psalm 91:14-16
“Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will set him on high, because he has known My name.
He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him and honor him.
With long life I will satisfy him,
And show him My salvation.”
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
Amen and Hallelujah!!!
DeleteAmen & Amen! Praying dear Jeanne for that spot. I have one too on my cheek. Lord be with our Jeanne, hold her hand through the appointment, encourage her to trust fully in You. You are her song of faith and hope. Hallelujah!❤️🙏🌈
DeleteThanks dear Janet and Jan! Jan, you should get the spot on your cheek checked. I care about you and God does too.
DeleteHeavenly Father, thank You and bless Your holy name! I praise You Lord always and thank You Jesus! Lord, You are so amazing and wonderful! Thank You for directing Chris Payton to setting up this site. Even though he didn't know what would come from his doing at the time, You did! You ALWAYS know and You are ALWAYS working all things for good! You have blessed every person that comes to this blog and brought unity within Your Body Lord. It is another testimony of God's working power in the world. Help us to remember that no matter what we are going through or what our circumstances may be right now, that You are working in our situations and it's ALWAYS for Your good plan and purpose. Thank You Jesus! May Your loving hand guide us along the paths that You have prepared for each one of us and may we keep our eyes upon You and our hearts open to all that You have for us. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen 🙏.
ReplyDeleteAmen! Thank you Janet for sharing... so wonderfully expressed and I share your prayer today.
DeleteAmen and Amen sweet Janet!
DeleteBeautiful prayer dear sister. Bless you for sharing 😍.
ReplyDeleteContinued prayers for you dear Norah & your DH. Trusting seems to be the theme today & hoping for what we cannot see. We just know in our deepest knower that Jesus is interceding for us at the right hand of the Father. No prayer goes unheard. We are the sheep of His pasture, our deepest need He already knows before we utter word. What a wondrous God we serve! To Him be the Glory &, Honor now and forevermore! Amen!
ReplyDeleteThere's a typo here (I have the book). It should read: "Waiting for Me to work, with your eyes on Me, is evidence that you really do trust Me."
ReplyDeleteWaiting, trusting, and hoping...
ReplyDeleteWaiting:
Psalm 27:14 KJV
"Wait on the LORD: Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD."
Trusting:
Jeremiah 17:7-8
7 "But blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him. 8 They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit."
Hoping:
Isaiah 40:31
"But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.'
Thankyou Peter and Amen!
DeleteJust what I needed to fill me today! Thanks brother Peter!
ReplyDeletePraying for each and every request, Jeanne, et al. I thank you all for your continued prayers for my DH and for me. Audra, this morning I let myself sleep, as you did yesterday and though I feel as if I'm late, at least I'm rested! Knocked out some casework right off the bat and I'm so thankful.
ReplyDeleteSeveral of my prayer requests from a few years ago are still in need of Victory. My friend's daughter is still wrestling with getting her children back. My case who I drove to the attorney is still struggling. I am going to check on her today.
We are giving all requests to you, Lord! And then we will wait with great anticipation of how You will deliver.
Love and Blessings to each of you, JC Family!
Amen dear Norah. Give it all to Jesus and leave it there. I’m glad you got some rest and even got some casework done. Praying for your cases to be God guided. May they receive God’s faithfulness. Praying God carries your dear husband through his treatment tomorrow and may it be successful without any bad effects. Thank You Jesus! Rest up, Sis! God’s got this!
DeleteMy dermatologist chose to measure the sun spot on my face rather than sample it today. I’ll see her in 2 months and she’ll do a full body scan at that time too. It’s all in God’s Hands. Thanks for all the prayers. We will continue to pray for each other and trust in our Way Maker.

ReplyDeleteWITH = Wait In Trusting Hope!
DeleteDear Heavenly Father God,
Would you help me get WITH it and Wait In Trusting Hope that You WILL fulfill Your Own Word?
You already know my tendency to behave like Sarai.
Instead of me behaving like Sarai, I need Your Divine Help to allow You to Completely Control the performance of Your Own Word in accordance with Your Own Master Plan, "Que Sera" instead of my plan "OK Sarai"
To keep myself occupied during the Wait, May I read Your Word, and Worship Your Sovereignty while I am in Your Waiting Room. In Jesus' Name. AMEN!
Waiting with you on the Lord in Trusting Hope that God's Word accomplishes His purpose in all our lives. His Promises are reliable, His Words are truth. We can give it all to Him and rest as we wait in trusting hope.
DeleteIsaiah 55:11
so shall My word be that goeth forth out of My mouth: It shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
Thank you God for Jeanne. I love Isaiah 55 and rely on it often, especially when I question my purpose.

DeleteFilled with so much emotion right now as I sit by my mom in her last hours here on earth. I’ve put on Tennessee Ernie Ford’s Pandora station singing old hymns just in case she can hear it. She liked singing with that music when we would be driving in the car. By the way she turned 101 just a few weeks ago.
ReplyDeleteSitting and praying with you, Learning to Trust. Transitions, Releasing, and Letting Go can still be hard emotional valleys for us to cross, regardless...
DeleteAt some level your blessed Mom is probably aware of the old hymns you are so kindly playing while praying for her. May they comfort you as well. In Jesus' Name. AMEN!
Dear Learning to Trust, How blessed your Mom is to be going to be with Jesus after such a long life of love and faith. I pray she hears the sweet hymns to guide her on her way. May God gently call her home and bless and comfort you as only He can. Keeping you in my prayers always. Much love.
DeleteRevelation 21:4
"He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away"
Thank you.
DeleteDear Learning to Trust --- Just want to BLESS you and your precious mom. As your mom's
Deleteearthly journey draws to a close, envision the radiant embrace of Jesus and the Heavenly Hosts awaiting her arrival. Picture the gates of heaven swinging open to welcome her with open arms, surrounded by the celestial choir singing anthems of love and grace. May this divine reception fill her heart with boundless joy and peace as she steps into the eternal presence of her Savior, embraced by the warmth of His love and the endless beauty of heaven. And there is GREAT CELEBRATION IN HEAVEN! In Jesus' Name, AMEN and AMEN
Learning to Trust,

What a beautiful description of Heaven! Thank you dear Anonymous for those sweet words to bless and comfort dear Learning to Trust and her mom. You blessed me in such a big way too. I know when my mom leaves this world she will realize God's promises and it will be better than she could ever imagine.
