Thoughts of a Preacher's Daughter

Be it ailments, test, trials or temptations..

Things seen and unseen , problems found or thought to be fixed , there is always something …

Promises made though most broken , fears and worries outweigh hope and peace , it’s always something …

In this life nothing is really for certain, so we must be aware that the things we are faced with are placed there to strengthen our weakness. It doesn’t make sense at times especially for those of us that trust God but faith without works is dead!

I know it’s difficult and there seems to be no ending but the Lord is there , and he is our help and he will deliver us. Remember it’s always going to be something but with Jesus you can make it!!!

I am a jealous God and you will have no other gods before me !

People place a lot of good faith and confidence in everything and everyone except God! They give praises to celebrities and people of authority but won’t acknowledge the Lord.

We will give hours binge watching Netflix Hulu and so forth but fall asleep after reading 3 verses in the Bible. Some will confide their feelings to others only to have all of it cast into the airwaves of their circle where everyone knows.

But isn’t it funny when you get in trouble the first thing folks say is ‘ Lord help me’ , why should he? You give him no time and no acknowledgement until you are in trouble; thank God he doesn’t treat us as our sins deserve.

God has said over and over he doesn’t want anything before him so let’s stop today. Thank him and meditate upon him as you cry out to him in confidence so that he can bless you openly!

Love and Blessings

Thank you Lord for waking me up this morning, to a new day filled with your unlimited grace and mercy.

Thank you for a peaceful rest , for my life and family! Thank you for my loved ones both present and past. Thank you for looking beyond my faults and meeting my needs. For hedging me in and protecting me as I go about day by day.

Thank you for it all Lord , good bad right wrong or indifferent. There is so much I have to be thankful for that it would take a while to share. But you know my heart and you know that I am truly blessed because of you! Thank you Lord for this day and for all you’ve done just for me.

Love and Blessings

Who the Son sets free is free indeed!

If you have truly given your troubles to the Lord stop going back trying to fix it!

His ways are pass finding out yet he gives grace to the humble and equips them for the task at hand. He tells us when we wait on him he renews our strength and we can soar high like an eagle.

Today is the beginning of your best days. Embrace it as you lose yourself in Christ. He and he alone will make the difference in your life as he breaks the chains of all types of bondage and brings you back to a place of freedom!!!

Love and Blessings

As this day begins the residue of yesterday’s problems are still readily available but not necessary to review for today is a new day and the grace and mercy of our God has covered you once more.

This will pass , it may seem impossible but God is not like man ; he can’t lie nor will he deny his own. We have been purchased with a great price and it is by his stripes that we are healed blessed and delivered.

No need to look back , instead focus on the day. Allow him to direct you on a clear path as he strengthens your heart mind and soul. Delight yourself in the Lord and he will renew you and equip you for the day ahead!!!

Love and Blessings

Wake up this morning with a determination that no matter what the enemy throws your way you will trust God all the way !!!

He walks and talks with us in the stillness of our hearts and mind so settle yourself and be ready to receive.

Love and Blessings

This is the day that the Lord has made let’s rejoice and be happy in it. Let’s lay aside the troubles we have and instead thank God for a new day that is filled with new opportunities, beginnings and blessings. Let’s stop our selfish and bad habits, always wanting others to pity us for our plight and instead reach out to help someone in need.

You can sit back and have a pity party as the day begins or you can choose to accept what is happening and exercise your faith as you learn to trust God and begin the day with “thanksgiving’’!

This is the day to begin again with a fresh slate a new start a beautiful day, let’s rejoice and be glad in it!!!

Love and Blessings

Sickness and diseases are running rapid in the world. Families are losing members almost daily as the death tolls increase at an alarming rate. The morale of the people is almost nonexistent as folks are losing their jobs,homes and possessions. Lord we need you!

Racial tensions are at an all time high and there seems to be no ending to this madness. How can we go on for no hope seems to be in sight.

I want to encourage you not to give up for your help comes from the Lord just call on him. He is always with us even when we can’t see him working on our behalf. He is our keeper , and even though it seems all is lost he will preserve your soul.

Finally , be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might for the Lord your God will strengthen you and shield you from the warfare of life… don’t give up!

Love and Blessings

Crying all night struggling to keep it all together

Fear kicks in and you feel all hope is lost

Unwanted messages of doubt , anger, lost and defeat are whispered by the enemy

All is lost, it is over , what am I gonna do? Everyone I know has turned from me , my God I am alone. Anxiety levels off the chart so now my body is shutting down. Pillow wet with tears , chest tight and my heart weighs a ton; help me please….

God says I will never leave you , I am your solid rock and firm foundation. Stop looking at what you’re going through and look to me. Cast all your cares on me for I care for you!

You never need to worry , for God is a very present help in the time of trouble and need. Keep your mind on him and he will give you perfect peace, for he will trade your ashes for beauty and strength for your weakness.

Love and Blessings

Your word says that you will give us a perfect peace when we keep our minds on you. With all the chaos of racial violence and constant deaths it’s hard to stay focused on you God. Help me this day to look beyond what I see and ease my heart with a peace that goes far beyond my understanding and allow me to have calmness in this life storm.

It’s hard to wrap your head around things that make no sense but continue to keep your mind on Jesus and he will make a way of escape for you. He will awaken a newness in you and you will be able to stand .

Grant your grace, love and kindness towards your people and most importantly allow us to absorb your peace Lord for it is a sure foundation and comfort in the time of need!

Love and Blessings
