The warrior is a child

Published on 9 September 2024 at 06:41

LORD, there looks to be a lot of problems in my life – and in the lives of my children.

Nothing is bigger or stronger than YOU . . .

 

BUT GOD, my humanity cries out – with worries, cares, concerns, fears beyond numbers or words.

 

I try to live with an attitude of gratitude.

And I realize that there is sacrifice in thanksgiving.

LORD, I am willing – please help me do better.

 

As the song says, “The mountains are so big, and my faith is so small” . . .

But then, I remember JESUS said that if our faith is as a mustard seed . . .

 

GOD, here I am – just as I am.

This morning – well, this warrior is a child.

Aching to just be held.

Please, hold me.

And please, help me just breathe, just be in today.

 

: Philippians 4:4-7 – Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the Peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

  • Reasonableness: using good judgment and being fair/practical. Rationality. Sanity. Wholesomeness. Clear-headedness. Wisdom.
  • LORD, help me to be reasonable. To let JESUS shine through me, no matter where I am, what I am going through or dealing with, what I am doing, or who I am with.

 

: Psalm 25:4-5 – Make me to know Your ways, O Lord; teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your Truth and teach me, for You are the God of my Salvation; for You I wait all the day long.

  • Yes, LORD, yes!!!!!

 

: John 14:27 – Peace I leave with you; My Peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

  • Thank YOU JESUS . . . please, help me.
