What about the caregivers of those who are ill?

No one talks about the caregivers. It is a thankless and exhausting job to take care of a loved one who has physical or mental concerns.

Yet, it can be a blessing

There are good days and bad days, but looking at the situation with a compassionate eye makes the weariness of each task almost fade away into nothingness.

Some people say it is a calling. Clearly, those folks are the ones who have never seen another person’s most basic needs. 

It is not a calling but is a creation or necessity of life with all its varying circumstances.

One thing I know for sure is that when times get tough, never turn your back on that vulnerable loved one. If you need help, just ask.

My grace is sufficient for you, for my strength is made perfect in weakness. 2 Corinthians 12 verse 9.

For The Moment…37

Give thanks believing you have received it.

Meaning, there is no doubt. Believe the Lord is able to give you what you desire. Ask in faith, not doubting, because a double minded person is unstable in all things.

If there is doubt, then how can you say you trust God? How can you say you say in truth you believe him or that you take him at his word?

You do not believe it because you have no faith.

And you are living a lie.

You do not believe he can do it for you.

You do not believe he is great enough.

You do not believe you deserve it.

You need to make it right. You need to present all your fears and tell him about your doubts then cast them aside knowing he hears you and you trust him. 

Even if your faith is small like a grain of mustard seed. He will come through for you.

Believe him and see him as God the creator. The God who loves you no matter what you have done, no matter who you are.

(Adapted from Mark 11 verse 24, James 1 verse 6 and Matthew 17 verse 20)

Next… no one said it will be easy. There can be dark days ahead…

Give Thanks For God’s Goodness

YET TO BE # 296

Oh, Lord, with praise and joy, I give thanks.

I do not deserve thy goodness.

I live in fear and anxiety about things I cannot control.

Yet, when I cry to thee and call upon thy name, I feel a peace that surrounds me;

I breathe and move forward.

Not knowing what will happen or where I should go.

But belief inhabits my heart, and I trust thee.

So, I give thanks.

also take time to remember the warrior wo talked to the Lord on your behalf.

Prayer Warrior Gratitude

Gratitude is a delicate state of mind. “A quality of being thankful, ready to show appreciation and to return kindness.”
A need for prayer is requested.
Words to the Lord ascend in compassion and love.
An answer is given and received time passes, and the waiting continues.
Where is the attitude of gratitude?
Where are the words of kindness?
Where is the giving of thanks?
Always give thanks to the Lord for His goodness.
But also take time to remember the warrior who talked to the Lord on your behalf.
Let us weep, sit, commiserate, and rejoice together, lest we forget to be grateful to those who pray for our needs.

And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? There are not found that returned to give glory to God save this stranger. Luke 17: 17 and 18
