I don’t pretend to be an expert on prayer. Studies and books have been written for centuries on this topic and I can’t expound any better than that!
However, I want to share a few reasons why I pray.
I’ve journaled in a blank book for several years when I’m studying a topic or reading the Bible. [...]
Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing:
but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called,
that ye should inherit a blessing.
I looked through my journal this morning to see if I wanted to share anything. This passage and my notes struck me as a good thing to think about for any person.
When I [...]
*This was written over 1 1/2 years ago–before I closed the store.
The last couple of weeks have been hard for me.
It’s not easy to explain. I am emotionally fine.
I remember sitting in church crying almost every service. Not because anyone hurt me, I hurt so much that it overflowed.
A beautiful song might set me off. [...]
I realized the other day that I hadn’t shared from my journals in a long time. As I paged through them, I was blessed at all the things that I wrote down. It’s amazing how alive God’s Word is. I love how verses spoke to me one way then and they minister to my heart [...]
Many years ago, when I began searching for a Biblical response to the events in my life, I wrote down verses in a journal. If they applied to my husband, I wrote his name next to them.
If they applied to my child, I wrote his name next to the verse. If they applied to me, [...]
I kept a journal for the years leading up to this incarceration–before I knew that was how God was going to move in our life.I wrote down things I read in the Bible that could apply to Lee. I quickly realized more of the verses applied to ME! (Imagine that!) Several applied to our child [...]
1 Peter 3:7
Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
Here’s another entry from my journal. As I was trying to love my husband and be the woman [...]
You can read part 1 here and part2 here.
One of the things that amazed me in my search on how to pray for my husband was all the verses that applied to me.
I combed through my journals to organize and here are some verses from the Psalms that applied to me.
**Whenever I read the [...]
I thought I should clarify that when I say “Battle plan”, I don’t mean I’m battling my husband.
This fight is with the true enemy.
One time a lady assigned to counsel with me, told me that she thinks we give the devil too much credit.
I will be the first to tell you that God is in [...]
In Honoring my Covenant, I shared with you about my studying and note-taking.
I began to write down verses that I could apply to HIM! (sort of funny huh?).
I was amazed to find that the majority of the verses I wrote down applied to ME.
I also found some that applied to our child.
As I [...]
