Excuses

Sometimes I really feel that I am Lazy and make too many excuses. I am a stay at home mom of two kids under the age of two so you think I would have so much time on my hands to pray and read my bible but I find myself struggling. I tried getting up earlier or going bed later but then I am just to tired during the day. I have been praying about it and Praise the Lord he has been helping me. In the morning when the kids first wake up its a perfect time for me to read my bible because they are not very active yet and they have been taking afternoon naps so it gives me time to pray. Everyday is different and doesn't always end up like I plan but I am glad I am finding time throughout the day. I have been reading in Psalms lately and there are so many verses that inspire me and give me so much inspiration that no matter what the Lord is there ALWAYS through EVERYTHING!!!

Psalm 62: 1-2

¹ I wait quietly before God,
for my victory comes from him.
² He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress where I will never be shaken.



I really like these two verses. I keep telling myself just to quietly wait for God because he has a plan for me and when he is ready he will use me for his will. Anyways on to the rest of my day and God bless all who read this!! Keep your eyes fixed on God even when it seems the quiet surrounds you!

Psalm Today!

I have been reading in Psalm lately and today while I was reading I decided to sing it instead of just read it and it makes such a big difference in my understanding. Here are a few verses that really grabbed me today:

Psalm 55:16-19

 (NLT)

¹⁶ But I will call on God,
and the Lord will rescue me.
¹⁷ Morning, noon, and night
I cry out in my distress,
and the Lord hears my voice.
¹⁸ He ransoms me and keeps me safe
from the battle waged against me,
though many still oppose me.
¹⁹ God, who has ruled forever,
will hear me and humble them.
Interlude

For my enemies refuse to change their ways;
they do not fear God.

I will be praying for comfort and peace for some loved ones in my life. I hope they realize that God has a plan for them and no matter what he will not let them go or stop loving them. God is my comfort and even my shield even against myself when I need it! Thank-you Lord for all you do! I hope all who read this have a wonderful day. 

Prayer for today.

Lord please let my tongue be silent and my ears grow to listen.
Let my words be few and my heart open.
Discouragement is something that is so easy to find and so hard to come out of.....Let me see myself as you do. Let me love myself and my enemies the way you do. Let me only seek your approval and not the worlds. Let me live my life like you. Lord please help me find more time for you. Give me direction and give me discipline. Lord help me....only you can lead me and please let me not stray but only follow!

In Jesus Name,
Amen

What is God Speaking To You?

Today I read Psalm 42-49. I was caught by a few verses. The verses are:

Psalm 44:23-26 (NIV)

²³ Awake, Lord! Why do you sleep?
Rouse yourself! Do not reject us forever.
²⁴ Why do you hide your face
and forget our misery and oppression?
²⁵ We are brought down to the dust;
our bodies cling to the ground.
²⁶ Rise up and help us;
rescue us because of your unfailing love

A person is praying this to God but I was thinking what if it was switched around and God was telling this to us......Why do you sleep? Why do you reject me forever? Why do you hide your face? It really makes you think. Is God speaking this to you or has he been speaking this to you for a while now? Where are you with your relationship with Jesus? Are you hiding and still rejecting him when you know that Jesus said “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. (John 14:6)
I think I will just leave it at that. While you read your bible and pray today ask the Lord to reveal to you, if you already don't know, if this is you.

Have a wonderful Tuesday!!
