Father, 

I have trouble sleeping because I have put off so many little things I need to get done - banking, taxes, processing the will. I talk big, but I worry and these are the thorns in my side because of fear I let the enemy hold over me. I ask for help, strength, faith and courage to face all my fears and get these things cleared up so I can do all you ask of me. All this I ask in the name of Jesus, Amen.

PRAISES AND BLESSINGS:

Thank You Father for:
1 - being a part of our awesome Lifetrack class at church and witnessing spiritual growth. (finished part 4 of 4 last night)
2 - the Bell family that have ignited a new and exciting spirit in our church - I call them "church champions" (by the way I have been praying for more church champions this year)
3 - Sandy and her healing touch.
4 - the excitement of our Roaring 20's Bunco Party coming up this next Saturday.
5 - the prayerfulness of the women in our Sunday School Class.

BIBLE READING:  

1 Thessalonians 4 We have instruction (the Bible) for living a life pleasing to God. We will meet up with those that have died with Jesus in the air when He returns! We have that hope.

BIBLE SUBJECT STUDY:
Continuing to copy each verse regarding PRAYER, PRAYS, PRAYING from the Bible and I still have a few more books of the New Testament to finish then start on the Old.

 BOOK READING:

Too Busy Not To Pray by Bill Hybels

Chapter 2 - To think for a moment that God does not care about our prayers is a lie from Satan!!!
I wrote that yesterday, but I am still in chapter 2. Using the parable about the widow and the judge. It reveals that God is not like that judge. God is a giving God; a blessing God; an encouraging God; a nurturing God; an empowering God and a loving God.

LISTENING FOR GOD The thought that goes my mind is to slow down.
