Good morning Heartstrings family

I am praying for you today. I know we come from many places yet, here we are together before the Throne of God. How blessed to be able to share with you today. Thank you for gathering with us.

There are many things on my heart. Yet, above all, I want to pray with you. If you believe in the name of Jesus Christ then,you have been redeemed from a life of sin, back to the Father. There has been much time for me to be still since I hurt my foot. It has been getting better and I am so grateful. Just because my physical body is dealing with pain it doesn't mean I have to do nothing. So I pray. I do not want to forget the tender times of being intimately in His presence, and hearing what the Words of God are speaking to my heart. There is much healing going on in my spirit. 

Do you long for peace? Is there joy in your heart and mind when you wake in the morning? Or, worry over what will come? Are you troubled and anxious about the future? Do you believe God is in control?

Really believe? Regardless of what the circumstances look like, we are told to not worry, but to put our trust in God alone. 

We have been blessed in so many ways. I am counting them one by one. 

As we witness the evil forces at work here in America, we must hold fast to the Word of God! Yes, it is impossible to manage and control the foolishness seen on our internet programs, except to turn it off. Less and less I find myself watching. My prayers are for the salvation of many in America and that our churches would wake up and turn their backs on woke ideals. Our nation is really sick and without a leader that loves this nation. So, we will pray, vote and pray some more!

I choose today, serenity over chaos. I choose to dwell in the secret place of the Most High where I will remain stable and fixed under the shelter of the Almighty, whose power no foe can withstand. Psalm 91 goes on to say, I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God to lean on and rely and in Him I confidently trust.

This is my first prayer of every day. Then I pray the way Jesus taught us to pray the Lord's Prayer. Then, I put on the full armor of God. From there I pray whatever the Holy Spirit leads me. I know God hears. 

While reading in Isaiah, I am seeing things that could actually be written in our own time. Israel is priority in my prayers! The enemy advances, but not for long. Children will rebel and turn from the instruction of parents with hatred guiding them. It breaks the heart of God too mom and dad.

Take time to read Isaiah. In chapter 30:18 I saw, "And therefore the Lord [earnestly] waits [expecting, looking, and longing] to be gracious to you; and therefore He lifts Himself up, that He may have mercy on you and show loving-kindness to you. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) are all those who [earnestly] wait for Him, who expect and look and long for Him [for His victory, His favor, His love, His peace, His joy, and His matchless, unbroken companionship]!

This is our God! Do not follow the ways of the foolish. We see them openly jabbering about who knows what and yet they are followed by those equally foolish in their minds. Seared from the Truth. We have had enough of this. This has gone one for almost 4 years. How this breaks the heart of God. 

How are you praying? Are you one of the Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) that the Bible talks about? I am! Are you earnestly waiting for Him? Read that scripture again. Now again. Ask Holy Spirit to open your eyes and you will see how wonderful it is to be a child of the Living God!

To sum this up I will pray Isaiah 33:2..."O LORD, be gracious to us; we have waited [expectantly] for You. Be the arm [of Your servants--their strength and defense] every morning, our salvation in the time of trouble." In the matchless name of Jesus Christ the Son of God, amen.

I am not sure if I conveyed all I wanted to say. But, I am praying for you and want you to know where your hope lies. Not in the things of man. Only in our Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. He is Lord of all and soon we will see Him and be changed to be like Him. 

Stay in the Word everyday. Take time to keep the Lord fixed in your heart and mind. He will keep you safe and well. The Lord bless you and keep you and lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace. May He cover you with His Grace and Mercy. Amen.

Abundance is...He is The Way, The Truth and The Life
