Thinking of something to encourage those who read this, I chose a book on hymns, “Then Sings My Soul” by Robert J. Morgan. He wrote a forward “The Cure For Shot Nerves”. Thinking that is a catchy title, I read what he wrote about how the old hymns can calm the spirit and help bring peace to the soul.
It is rare in some churches to even hear the old hymns anymore and that is sad. “In the Garden” He walks with me/ and He talks with me/ and tells me I am His own. “Jesus Loves Me”, “Amazing Grace”, “I Need Thee Every Hour” and many more that encourage the heart.
Today, if you are stressed, feeling overwhelmed, or just plan discouraged, think of your favorite hymn and sing it, hum it or just let it flood your mind with how good God is, and soon you will find the comfort you need
What a wonderful promise in God’s Word. He is with us, He will strengthen and help us. He loves us and what we need to do is trust Him. His promise to us is true.
Give God all your fear and He will give you all He promised plus peace.
Do you feel overwhelmed and there is so much to do? No time to get it all done.
Jesus gave us the answer in Matthew 11:28. “ Come unto me“, He said.
Stop, take a few minutes to read His Word, pray and ask Him for wisdom, strength to calm to fill your mind and heart.
Peace will come over you and all things will be accomplished. Maybe some things will have to wait until later but you will have assurance that it is in His hands.
“Why worry, when you can pray? Trust Jesus, He will be your stay. Don’t be a doubting Thomas, lean fully on His promise, Why worry, worry, worry, worry when you can pray?”
We sometimes get stressed and worry about things that may never happen. And even if they do happen, we have a promise from Jesus himself. The peace of God will be there to comfort us and guide us through any situation.
I love this little course “ Why worry when you can pray.” if you don’t know it, look it up online and sing along. That little melody will go with you all day and how can you worry when in your heart you know that Jesus is with you and will work out whatever you worry about.
Election is over. Christian, pray for our Country. For peace and unity.
Pray that God will bless America once again. Help us to confess our sins and ask God to forgive and cleanse our nation.
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
We need to pray for our Country for unity. Whatever political party you identify with, you need to pray!
Unrest, violence and accusations are prevalent in the country now. We need peace.
Only God can calm and bring sanity back. We can help by praying and choosing the candidates who will honor God and the principles that are in the Bible.
It is important that we do not add to the current situation by repeating the media narratives that cause the unrest.
Then make sure you do your duty as a citizen and get out and vote in the upcoming election.
This is something that we should never forget. The day the World Trade Center was destroyed.
Our country is always under attack. Not only by enemies from other countries but by those who are citizens that want to destroy our nation from within.
Today, STOP and PRAY for the USA. Pray for pease and unity in uncertain times.
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.2 Chronicles 7:14
If you live in Florida or one of the States that are in the path of a tropical storm, you will receive warnings of a disaster that is about to come. This may cause fear or anxiety.
But God tells us in this beautiful verse that He loves us and wants us to have peace. So, if you feel stressed today, take comfort from God’s word.
Make preparations to withstand the storm but trust God to bring you through whatever storm you have in your life.
