A Christmas Prayer


The holidays are a wonderful time that is specifically set aside to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Many of us are spending time with our families, eating, talking, laughing, shopping and worshiping together. The Christmas season is supposed to be a time of love, joy and peace. But I cannot help but to think about the multitude of people that are without. So many marriages and relationships ending, homes broken, children split between parents, family deaths, sick loved ones, homeless and impoverished families that don't have the luxury of enjoying the holidays the way that we do. The murders of Sandy Hook are still fresh in my heart and mind. It keeps me forever grateful and full of humility because I certainly realize that I could be out on the street with no food, no home and no one to care for me. I could be grieving the loss of my child or loved one. I just want to offer this prayer for those who may feel forsaken in some way.

Most kind gracious God, my Heavenly Father I come on behalf of your children; families, marriages and individuals. So many are hurting, abused, bereaved, sick, broken hearted, hungry, thirsty, homeless, depressed, confused, lonely, addicted, not in their right mind, and out of fellowship with you. God I ask that you comfort, heal, restore, revive, bring together, break addictions, feed, clothe, shelter and wrap your loving arms around each and every one of them right now in the name of Jesus. Please bing peace where there is confusion and chaos. Where there is hate replace it with your Love, Where there is depression God, elevate minds. Where there is sadness oh God, restore your joy! Mend broken hearts God, dispatch your angels to bring food, clothes, shelter and water to those in need. Most of all Lord turn stoney hearts to hearts of flesh and let the true reason of the season resonate in the hearts and minds of those that have broken fellowship with you. Those that are confused and don't understand what's going on in their lives bring revelation and calm. God I thank you for all that you have done and for all that you are doing! Thank you for placing your son Jesus in the womb of the Virgin Mary just so that a little nothing like me could have a chance. You are an awesome and mighty God, and I bless your name for truly you are worthy of all the praise, glory and honor! I know that your able to touch, heal, deliver and restore and I count it all done in the mighty name of Jesus. I rebuke every act of the enemy and cast him back into the pit of hell never to return! I speak it and believe it in the power and authority of Jesus Christ!

It is my hope that each person reading this is blessed, highly favored and walking in the authority of The Lord. In case you are hurting, struggling or going through, I hope this prayer reaches you and you are blessed, encouraged, lifted and your faith is restored. GOD LOVES YOU MORE THAN YOU' LL EVER KNOW! And so do I!

Peace, Love, and many blessings to each of you! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

    Nobody knows better than myself how nasty depression can be,
    and how hard it is to conquer. Depression can leave a person feeling empty and lifeless,
    and unable to enjoy anything that was previously enjoyed before.
    In cases of mild depression medicines show a good recovery in the
    patient.

Debate and difference of opinion are okay as long as it is done with LOVE and respect. We will not all see eye to eye on everything but we will be respectful and considerate of one another. We will not put each other down because our issues are different we will lift each other up in word and in deed. When you post your comment it is not immediately viewable to you. Its emailed to me first then I publish it. So don't worry because you don't see it, it's there.

Have you forgiven him yet?

Many of us grew up believing that Prince Charming would come and sweep us off of our feet and we would live HAPPILY EVER AFTER.... and then reality sets in! After the honey moon is over we realize that marriage is work. It's a daily, conscious decision to remain committed to someone no matter what. Women have such a hard role to play because even when our husbands fail, and we disagree with the decisions they have made we still have to be supportive and encouraging and not bash him or beat him over the head. But what happens when that failed decision or poor judgement call deeply and negatively effects your entire household. What happens if you tried to express to him that it wasn't a good idea to begin with or perhaps he went behind your back and secretly did something that caused your family great pain. And now that the consequences of his actions are upon the family you still have to smile, be supportive, protect his ego and pick up the pieces. All the while inside you'...

Losing yourself in the pain

After getting a divorce from my children's father to whom I was married for 15 years, I found myself heart broken, depressed and shattered. The people that I thought would be there for me weren't, church family treated me like an outsider, my children's father was unsupportive and we were at odds. Spiritually I was dying, and financially I was sinking. My truck was repossessed and after six short months of being in my own home I found myself homeless. Life was not at all the way I expected it to be and I found myself feeling isolated and alone. I had to send my children back to live with their father and it seemed that I had nothing and no one that I could turn to for support. I began to question my faith and the part of me that I thought was dead and buried began to emerge again. Crying myself to sleep became a daily activity and alcohol became my drink of choice. If I could have a couple glasses of wine and sleep from the time I got off of work until the nex...

What is Love?

What is Love? The Love that God requires from us is defined in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. --Boy is it ever hard to get this one perfect every time, Unless of course you have a perfect relationship where nothing ever goes wrong. What I have found is that we cannot do this of our own human abilities. It takes the ABSOLUTE POWER OF GOD! Who can hurt you worse than someone you deeply love, cater to and share your bed with. Our flesh says if you hurt me I should and will hurt you back. And because I'm hurt it hinders my ability to open up to you, serve you, submit to you, or give you the love that God has commanded me to give.  As women we are so much m...
