Challenge: Make God part of your day


Are you making God a part of your plan today? You are in His plan, and thoughts.......This is what the Bible says:

"Evening and morning and at noon, I will complain and murmur, and He will hear my voice." Psalm 55:17 NAS

"Thou hast taken account of my wanderings; put my tears in Thy bottle; Are they not in Thy book?" Psalm 56:8 NAS

"You know when I sit and when I rise; you percieve my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down." Psalm 139:2,3

"See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me." Isaiah 49:16

Get up early, find some time, get alone with the One who wants to know you......I am convinced that the heart that honestly seeks Him, finds Him. Just talk to Him, prayer is just that, talking to Him like you talk to your best friend. Pour everything out in your own words. He likes plain honest talk and He doesn't care if you leave out the Thees and Thous, He just wants real honest prayer from your heart. He already knows your innermost thoughts, but it is amazing how much better you feel when you tell Him anyway!

Thank you, Lord for meeting me this morning. Thank you that I am always on Your calendar, even if You are not always on mine. I love you, God.

I continue counting toward one thousand today with many others in the Gratitude Community..........Glorious sunrise this morning, warm beds and heaters that come on, all the many promises in Your Word, for loving me even though I don't represent You very well many times, for Your unending patience and grace towards me, for answered prayers always, for the knowledge that You hear my prayers, for family and friends that pray, for physical health and strength, for the stars that follow the cosmic dance You set in motion, the north star that always makes me think of You, Your glorious nature that speaks constantly of You......#585-597

holy experience

  1. Thank you Michelle, sometimes I think of how Holy God is and I get tongue tied...I want all the words to come out right, but then I remember that "He remembers that I am dust" and just a simple person anyway, He doesn't expect eloquence! Bless you for reading! Lori
