Fargo, ND

Thank You Holy God.

You are teaching me. To love. Forgive. Embrace. Delight. Rejoice. Take hold. Let go.

Yes.

♪…Death could not hold You

The veil tore before You

You silenced the boast of sin and grave…

…You have no rival

You have no equal

Now and forever, God You reign

Yours is the Kingdom

Yours is the Glory

Yours is the name above all names…♪

Father, thank You for allowing me quiet time to explore Your Word and my own thoughts. Thank You for Your Truth that stands firmly against every plot and ploy satan attempts.

Thank You for verses that give us hope. Encouragement. Power.

Zephaniah 3:17. “For the LORD your God is living among you. He is a mighty Savior. He will delight in you with gladness. With His love, He will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.”

Yes!

1 Corinthians 15:56-58. The Voice. “Sin came into this world, and death’s sting followed. Then sin took aim at the law and gained power over those who follow the law. Thank God, then, for our Lord Jesus, the Anointed, the Liberating King, who brought us victory over the grave.

“My dear brothers and sisters, stay firmly planted - be unshakable -  do many good works in the name of God, and know that all your labor is not for nothing when it is for God.”

Yes please Lord. Let me work for You. In. With. By. And through. You.

Do all You must in teaching me to trust and believe [take hold]. While at the very same time practicing the fine art of surrender and renouncing [letting go].

I love, need, trust and want You Dear Lord. As absolute God and guidance of my life. Use me exactly as You know is best.

♪I wanna be Different

I wanna be changed

’Til all of me is gone

And all that remains

Is a fire so bright

The whole world can see

That there’s something different

So come and be different

In me♪

Yes! Continue Your good refining work (Malachi 3:3) in changing me. Thank You. Praise You. Amen.
