130 - "Find Courage To Pray Like David Did" 2 Samuel 6-7; Psalm 30; John 1:29-51

Who is over my affairs?

Pray.  Take courage.  It has been our dream to pray for our children and launch them into the world.  This day was the last day of our parenting days at home.  They all have moved on and we hope that they can never get over our prayers for them. 

So, what prayer of courage could I offer Him?  2 Samuel 7:27... "Your servant has found courage to pray the prayer in 2 Samuel 7 to a Sovereign Lord. All because You, oh Lord, have put me together. Psalm 30:2.

The Prayer of Courage: 

"Who am I, Sovereign Lord, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far?. And as if this were not enough in your sight, Sovereign Lord, you have also spoken about the future of the house of your servant---and this decree, Sovereign Lord, is for a mere human...

How great you are, Sovereign Lord! There is No One like you!

So, find courage to pray today! You have a Sovereign Lord over all your affairs.

There was once a man, his name John, sent by God to point out the way. The way to go, where to look, who to believe in. Every person who enters this life, God brings into Light. In the deepest sense, the Messianic Presence is in our thoughts, in our lives every single day. 

The words of John melt my hart. Life has been uphill all the way. Some of the best advice came from my counselor I supernaturally found when I faced a great divide in my life. He told me that in this world, communion with God is not defined by experiences or blessings.  To really live is to release the life of Jesus through our lives in any circumstance no matter what. Reading the New Testament paints the picture of relating as Jesus did. Giving when no one gives back. Loving in the face of unreturned love. Forgiving when it is not deserved. Suffering in the place of those who should suffer. 

Let’s look to Jesus together. He is able.
