Some Things I Questioned---While In The Garden


3rd Sunday of Lent / 70th Day of 2007 / 28th Day Till Easter Sunday 2007


"All Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness." 2 Timothy 3:16

As I was in my "garden" of prayer last week, I thought about some things. Things that I questioned about my life... Here's just a few.... I will add my response later... Selah.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What if I did not come to church for weeks? Would anyone notice or even care that I was not there? Selah


What if I stopped blogging for months? Would it make any difference or Am I making a difference by what I am sharing on my blog site? Selah


What if I cease doing some things that I normally did at times? Would anyone notice or have any concern to why I stopped doing what I use to do? Selah

Father God, I thank You for Sunday, the first day of the week. A day in which we come together as a body of Christ to celebrate the VICTORY that Jesus defeated death, satan and sin. I thank You for those victories Lord! I thank You for this very day and every day of LIFE that we have in You. I thank You that You give us the gift of eternal LIFE through Your Son, Jesus Christ.

I thank You for the covenant blessings of WISDOM, ANOINTING and LIFE that You have given us who believe. I praise Your name. For You are the God of what LIFE is all about and is meant to be.... Victorious living in Jesus' Name.

Lord, HELP us to surrender our lives to You on a ongoing basis. Help us to surrender every area of our lives... yielding everything to You...our spirit, soul, body, our hopes, dreams, concerns, our finances, family, jobs, our abilities, talents, ministries, our joy, weakness, strengths, our pains, sorrows, shame, our past, present, future.

Teach is to open our hearts to You while we seek after You. Lead us to repent and to rethink our lives on a regular basis. Allow us to follow You and experience You in new ways that we have not seen before. Guide us to yield to the Holy Spirit. And help us to let go of our own ways. Create within us a new heart and a new spirit.


Grant us to pray with the heart of Jesus' model prayer...
Our Father in Heaven Hallowed be Your name.

Your kingdom come Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors.

And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one.

For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.


Amen.
