Live 4 The LORD

​Yesterday Sandy said she lost her faith when her son was on drugs. 

Mimi said she stopped praying when her daughter left. (But heard God saying am I enough?) said she never lost hers but not praying indicates she did. 

I see that somehow lost my faith too. 

We all three never stopped believing in God. We stopped trusting. Trusting is the definition of faith. (Believing-even the demons do)

I am to trust you Jesus no matter what I see think or feel. 

I am using the wrong senses to live by. I look at the world the evil and the anger and don’t see your love. I think about the chaos, the evil, and how I don’t understand your ways and don’t see your love. I don’t feel your presence, care, or love and can’t see your love. 

I am to believe your word! The word of God is what I am to put my hope and trust in not my body senses. If I read the word I see your work even though the fulfillment is years apart you do not lie. I must read, believe, and cling to what you have said and stop looking around me. 

You said you made me for you. You said you want to live each day with me. You said I am your prized beloved child. You said you have a plan for me. You said your blood washes my sin. You said your grace empowers me. You said you will never leave. You said you are my father, friend, lover, provider, savior, redeemer, fortress. You said you will finish what you start. You said heaven is waiting with all I store up for it. You said I will be made new. You said I will be with you forever. You said you love me and came to save me. 

I renounce, reject, and rebuke the devils lies that I started to believe. In the name of the only Savior of Sinners, Jesus Christ, I believe You! I Trust You! I forsake me and want to follow you, give me your Presence, Grace, and Love! Amen.
