Day 7 of 30 - Testimonies, Prayers, & Poetry

A Praying Friend I received a text with a prayer and words of encouragement from a friend of more than 26 years. We haven’t seen each other in person in at least 5 years but I think it’s been longer than that. The point is, distance doesn’t matter. God put her in my life and allowed her to remain there. The real blessing is, she’s not just occupying space, she’s serving a purpose. She prays for me and my family. She has been all the years I’ve known her. I don’t have to call her or text her and tell her we need prayer. She prays anyway because she loves me and my family and she loves God. I’d gotten texted prayers and encouraging words from her before and am always grateful. I send them to her as well. Today, after reading her greetings and prayer, these words fell on my heart to share with her. I have one other such blessing in my life. I’ve known her for more than 30 years and she is definitely a prayer warrior.   These words are also for her. If you don’t have praying friend...

Day 6 of 30 - Testimonies, Prayers, & Poetry

Precious Father, Sovereign God I look to You and to You alone I ask you please to come into my heart To make my life Your own   Take away my heart of stone And give me a heart of flesh Help me to love You and live To give to You my very best   So many times I’ve fallen short, I’ve let You down; I have sinned Yet each time I cry out to You You forgive me all over again   Recently my days seem hard I’ve taken on more than I can bear Help me to look to You And in obedience to cast my care   My greatest desire is to honor You To serve You and bring You glory I want others to know who You are I want to share Your story   Precious Father, Sovereign God Holy is Your Name May I forever bring You joy May I never bring You shame.
