What Truth!

(4:56 a.m.)

How quickly I branched off to my next search. Roller coaster riding with You. Father, thank You that You don’t leave us alone in this great big scary world.

Thank You that other people have similar wonders. And experiences. Thank You for tears that come quickly to my eyes and to my very core.

(5:11 a.m.)

Thank You Father for providing food and shelter. Thank You for Your Word (Mark 1:9-15) and other people who point us to Your Truth.

Blessed Father God, I make so very many mistakes. Am absolutely certain I am going in the right direction one moment and then am filled with doubt the next.

It’s been an extremely emotional season for me. Tears come easily. Unexpectedly. And often. Oh, look! Here come some more. Thank You for them Lord. Thank You for reminding me that You would have me “live as long as I’m alive and not die until I’m dead.”

You are good Dear Lord. Great. Gracious. Glorious (Psalm 145:5-8). And I am truly grateful (Psalm 107:1-2). Not because I’m supposed to be (1 Thessalonians 5:18). Because I am!

Doubts. Fears. Unknowns. Surprises. All the twists and turns that this roller coaster ride of my life is throwing at me. I thank YOU for being my stronghold. My shelter. My firm foundation.

Father God, I ask (Matthew 7:7a) You to keep me present. Considering the things that You would have me consider (Philippians 4:8). Things that are “true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent and worthy of praise.” 

The Message says, “… the best, not the worst, the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not to curse.” Yes Dear Lord, keep teaching me to do that.

I love, need, trust and want You as absolute Lord of my life. Do all You must to this very end. Thank You. Praise You.

♪You picked me up

You turned me around

You placed my feet on solid ground

I thank the Master

I thank the Savior

Because You healed my heart

You changed my name

Forever free I am not the same♪

Thank You Father. Use me as You alone know is best. Amen.
