Amazed


Yesterday's blog I titled "Alone with The Father" - finding your quiet place - just like Jesus we need to find our secret place. It's my prayer that you found that special place and will commit to spending just a little time each day with The Father.

What amazed me yesterday was Pastor Mark's message was all about prayer! Isn't our God good, He wants this message to get out to ALL His children! At your convenience you can listen to or view Pastor Marks teaching at www.calvaryccm.com, he taught from 1 John 3:21 - Confidence to Pray...we have confidence before God; confidence to pray to God with expectation. Prayer gives us direct access to God, we can come before the throne of grace (Heb 4:16). 1 John 3:22 ...and receive from Him anything we ask because we obey Him and do what pleases Him.

The question: Why do we pray? I would love to get your thoughts and comments. Pastor Mark gave us several in his message. Prayer maintains our personal relationship with God The Father. Prayer also pleases God!

Many are familiar with "The Lord's Prayer", as you read and meditate on the words Jesus gave to His disciples (us) why not personalize it, re-write it and make it your own. Matthew 6:9-13 - NIV:

This, then, is how you should pray:
   Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10 your kingdom come,
your will be done,
    on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
    as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,[a]
    but deliver us from the evil one.

Whatever God is asking you to do today just "Say Yes to God"!!! A simple act of obedience doing what God asks us to do! God's will is always best for us and because of that He will give us increased faith, guidance, provision and success!!

Have an awesome day!

  1. Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving.—Colossians 4:2
    Dr. Moody Stuart, a great praying man of a past generation, once drew up a set of rules to guide him in his prayers. Among these rules is this one: "Pray till you pray."...
    The habit of breaking off our prayers before we have truly prayed is as common as it is unfortunate. Often the last 10 minutes may mean more to us than the first half hour, because we must spend a long time getting into the proper mood to pray effectively. We may need to struggle with our thoughts to draw them in from where they have been scattered through the multitude of distractions that result from the task of living in a disordered world....

Travel Adventures 2023

Travel Adventures 2023 – So many places to go!   This year my husband and I traveled to Reno, Lake Tahoe and Yosemite National Park. I took lots of pictures but could only choose a few for this blog. I’ve included a little information about each location we visited, along with a few pictures. Enjoy! Reno is a city in the northwest section of the U.S. state of Nevada, along the Nevada-California border, about 22 miles (35 km) north from Lake Tahoe, known as "The Biggest Little City in the World". Known for its casino and tourism industry. We stayed at the Nugget Casino & Resort...and no, I did not put any money in the slot machines!!! :-) What's a vacation with shopping - the  Outlets at Legends  proved to be more than shopping. Then off to  Virginia City.   Lake Tahoe is located on the border of California and Nevada. About two-thirds of the lake is in California, with about one-third extending into Nevada at the north and south ends of the lake, and the entire

Happy Labor Day!

  Labor Day is an annual celebration of the social and economic achievements of American workers. It is a federal holiday in the United States celebrated on the first Monday in September to honor and recognize the American labor movement and the works and contributions of laborers to the development and achievements of the United States. The holidays stem from the late 1800s when labor activists wanted a federal holiday to recognize workers' contributions to the country.   The first U.S. Labor Day was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882 in New York City, planned by the Central Labor Union.  The Labor Day parade of about 10,000 workers took unpaid leave and marched from City Hall past Union Square uptown to 42nd street and ended in Wendel’s Elm Park at 92nd Street and 9th Avenue for a concert, speeches, and a picnic. Oregon was the first to declare Labor Day an official holiday in 1887. Labor Day is considered the 'unofficial NFL season kickoff.' 99.44 percent of the ti
