He is Risen!

Jesus Christ has Risen!

 

He is Risen Indeed! Alleluia!

 

You had the opportunity to ponder scripture over the last six weeks and share with Jesus through your prayers.  Take a moment to look back and see how Jesus was with you these past six weeks.  Continue to ponder scripture each day and sharing your thoughts and feelings with Jesus.  

 

Happy Easter to all!

Prayer Journal - Firmly Fixed!

Prayer Journal Continued...

Psalm 119:89-90

"Forever, O Lord, your word

is firmly fixed in the heavens.

Your faithfulness endures to all generations;

you have established the earth, and it stands fast."

 

As we approach Holy Week, we know His faithfulness endures to all generations and His word is forever.  Continue to spend time in prayer and look back through your prayer journal and see how His faithfulness has endured.

Prayer Journal - Surrounded!

Prayer Journal Continued...

Psalm 125:1-2

"Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,

which cannot be moved, but abides forever.

As the mountains surround Jerusalem,

so the Lord surrounds His people,

from this time forth and forevermore."

 

Notice how the Lord is surrounding you.  Look back through your prayer journal and see the Lord's protection within your life.

Prayer Journal - Thirsty!

Prayer Journal Continued...

Psalm 63:1-3

"O God, you are my God;

earnestly I seek you;

my soul thirsts for you;

my flesh faints for you,

as in a dry and weary land

where there is no water.

So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,

beholding your power and glory.

Because your steadfast love is better than life,

my lips will praise you."

 

The season of Lent is almost over as next week we will be entering Holy Week.  I hope as you have taken time to pray and seek the Lord through scripture your soul is being quenched of its thirst.  Yet, it still thirsts to continue to have a deeper relationship with your Savior!

Prayer Journal - Crying Out!

Prayer Journal Continued...

Psalm 142:1-2,5

"With my voice I cry out to the Lord;

with my voice I plead for mercy to the Lord.

I pour out my complaint before Him;

I tell my trouble before Him.

I cry to you, O Lord;

I say, "You are my refuge,

my portion in the land of the living".

 

In talking with a friend today, I asked if she had shared her grief with the Lord and the response was quiet.  Don't forgot to share your troubled heart with Him.  He understands.

Prayer Journal - Gracious!

Prayer Journal Continued...

Psalm 116:5-8

"Gracious is the Lord, and righteous;

our God is merciful.

The Lord preserves the simple;

when I was brought low, He saved me.

Return, O my soul, to your rest;

for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.

For you have delivered my soul from death;

my eyes from tears,

 my feet from stumbling."

 

Our Lord is gracious!  Take a moment to see how gracious He has been to you.

Prayer Journal - Sustained!

Prayer Journal continued...

Psalm 55:1-3,22

"Give ear to my prayer, O God,

and hide not yourself from my pleas for mercy!

Attend to me, and answer me;

I am restless in my complaint and I moan,

because of the noise of the enemy,

because of the oppression of the wicked.

For they drop trouble upon me,

and in anger they bear a grudge against me.

Cast your burden on the Lord,

and he will sustain you

he will never permit

 the righteous to be moved."

 

It is interesting how many times through the Psalms the psalmist is pouring his heart out to God.  God is always available to pour your heart out!
