I will be praying for you now KAC, and on into the night.
I’m sorry for your troubles.
The LORD Bless and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and give you rest and peace as he touches your spirit, soul and body. May you sleep exceptionally well. May the pain be reduced so you may sleep. I pray that He will give your tummy troubles some rest so you can take some anti-inflamms. May He give you a special Blessing so you remember you are the Apple of His eye.
I ask these things in Jesus’ Wonderful Name.
Amen
This Song was a Blessing to me Today.
We Are the Reason {Lyrics and Composer: Gary Valenciano.}
As little children we would dream of Christmas morn,
Of all the gifts and toys.
We knew we'd find, but we never realized,
A baby born one blessed night.
Gave us the greatest gift of our lives.
We were the reason that He gave His life.
We were the reason that He suffered and died.
To a world that was lost,
He gave all He could give.
To show us the reason to live.
As the years went by, we learned more about gifts,
The giving of ourselves and what that means
On a dark and cloudy day,
Jesus hung dying in the rain.
All because of love, all because of love.
We were the reason that He gave His life.
We were the reason that He suffered and died.
To a world that was lost,
He gave all He could give.
To show us the reason to live.
I've finally found the reason for living,
It's in giving every part of my heart to Him.
In all that I do every word that I say,
I'll be giving my all just for Him, for Him.
We were the reason that He gave His life.
We were the reason that He suffered and died.
To a world that was lost,
He gave all He could give.
To show us the reason to live.
He is my reason to live.
Thank You, our Loving Savior, for Giving Your Life that we Might Live. We Love You with All our Hearts and Souls, and Glorify Your Lovely Name. Please Grant Healing to our Knitting, and may Tomorrow be a Much Better Day. Please Ease her Pain, and Grant her Rest, our Great King of Saints.
Through the Grace of our Lord Jesus, we Pray All Things, amen.
My heart is steadfast, O God;
I will sing, I will sing,
I will awaken the dawn.
I will awaken the dawn.
~Psalm 57:7-8
Psalm 33
Praise to the Creator and Preserver.
1Sing for joy in the LORD, O you righteous ones;
Praise is becoming to the upright.
2Give thanks to the LORD with the lyre;
Sing praises to Him with a harp of ten strings.
3Sing to Him a new song;
Play skillfully with a shout of joy.
4For the word of the LORD is upright,
And all His work is done in faithfulness.
5He loves righteousness and justice;
The earth is full of the lovingkindness of the LORD.
6By the word of the LORD the heavens were made,
And by the breath of His mouth all their host.
7He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap;
He lays up the deeps in storehouses.
8Let all the earth fear the LORD;
Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
9For He spoke, and it was done;
He commanded, and it stood fast.
10The LORD nullifies the counsel of the nations;
He frustrates the plans of the peoples.
11The counsel of the LORD stands forever,
The plans of His heart from generation to generation.
12Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD,
The people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance.
13The LORD looks from heaven;
He sees all the sons of men;
14From His dwelling place He looks out
On all the inhabitants of the earth,
15He who fashions the hearts of them all,
He who understands all their works.
16The king is not saved by a mighty army;
A warrior is not delivered by great strength.
17A horse is a false hope for victory;
Nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength.
18Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him,
On those who hope for His lovingkindness,
19To deliver their soul from death
And to keep them alive in famine.
20Our soul waits for the LORD;
He is our help and our shield.
21For our heart rejoices in Him,
Because we trust in His holy name.
22Let Your lovingkindness, O LORD, be upon us,
According as we have hoped in You.
Psalm 34
The LORD, a Provider and Deliverer.
1I will bless the LORD at all times;
His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2My soul will make its boast in the LORD;
The humble will hear it and rejoice.
3O magnify the LORD with me,
And let us exalt His name together.
4I sought the LORD, and He answered me,
And delivered me from all my fears.
5They looked to Him and were radiant,
And their faces will never be ashamed.
6This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him
And saved him out of all his troubles.
7The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear Him,
And rescues them.
8O taste and see that the LORD is good;
How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!
9O fear the LORD, you His saints;
For to those who fear Him there is no want.
10The young lions do lack and suffer hunger;
But they who seek the LORD shall not be in want of any good thing.
11Come, you children, listen to me;
I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
12Who is the man who desires life
And loves length of days that he may see good?
13Keep your tongue from evil
And your lips from speaking deceit.
14Depart from evil and do good;
Seek peace and pursue it.
15The eyes of the LORD are toward the righteous
And His ears are open to their cry.
16The face of the LORD is against evildoers,
To cut off the memory of them from the earth.
17The righteous cry, and the LORD hears
And delivers them out of all their troubles.
18The LORD is near to the brokenhearted
And saves those who are crushed in spirit.
19Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
But the LORD delivers him out of them all.
20He keeps all his bones,
Not one of them is broken.
21Evil shall slay the wicked,
And those who hate the righteous will be condemned.
22The LORD redeems the soul of His servants,
And none of those who take refuge in Him will be condemned.

THE LORD REIGNS.

The Lord Jehovah reigns; His throne is built on high.
The garments He assumes are light and majesty.
His glories shine
With beams so bright no mortal eye
Can bear the sight.
The thunders of His hand keep the wide world in awe;
His wrath and justice stand to guard His holy law.
And where His love
Resolves to bless His truth confirms
And seals the grace.
Through all His mighty works surprising wisdom shines—
Confounds the powers of hell, and breaks their cursed designs.
Strong is His arm,
And shall fulfill His great decrees,
His sovereign will.
And will this mighty King of glory condescend,
And will He write His Name: My Father and my Friend?
I love His Name;
I love His Word. Join, all my powers,
And praise the Lord!
—Isaac Watts, 1707
Lord be with those in grief this night,
and though they are in pain,
touched with fright,
keep them ever close in your sight.
Amen.
Amen.
Father, bring relief and help and consolation in the midst of this mind-numbing tragedy.
Futures that held promise.....
Industrious young adults at the business of education.
Diligent, bright, and self disciplined to be in class in a semester almost finished.
Arms that ache now, missing the beloved son or daughter who will never return.
Lord I pray for them. My own son is so precious to me. All children are a most precious gift from you. My mind refuses to approach the pain too closely, or think about this very long.
You can help them with a miraculous touch. Give them your comfort. Help them through the grief and anger.
Let your Holy Spirit rest upon them.
Hear our cry in Jesus’ name.
Calvary's Love {Lyrics and Composer: Greg Nelson and Phil McHugh}
'Calvary's Love will sail forever
Bright and shining, strong and free
Like and ark of peace and safety
On the sea of human need.
Through the hours of all the ages
Those tired of sailing on their own
Finally rest inside the shadow
Cast by Calvary"s love across their souls
Calvary's Love, Calvary's love
Priceless gift Christ makes us worth of;
The deepest sin can't rise above
Calvary's Love.
Calvary's love can heal the spirit
Life has crushed and cast aside
And redeem till heaven's promise
Fills with joy once empty eyes
Then desire to tell the story
Of love that loved enough to die
Burns away all other passions
And fed by Calvary's love, becomes a fire.
Calvary's Love, Calvary's love
Priceless gift Christ makes us worth of;
The deepest sin can't rise above
Calvary's Love.
Calvary's love has never faltered
All it's wonders still remain
Souls still take eternal passage
Sins atoned, and heaven gained
Sins atoned and heaven gained...'
Thank You for Your Love, Your Majesty, and for Your Wonderous Grace. We Pray that Your Love will Reach Out to those Affected by the Horrible Tragedy. Grant them Strength, Dear Father, Healing, and Help and Peace. Grant them Comfort, Your Excellency our King. We Ask for Your Mercies to be with those who Grieve.
Bless my Dear Sisters and Brothers, O Compassionate Lord. In the Name of Jesus Christ, we Pray All Things, amen.
'Unto Him be Glory in the Church
By Christ Jesus throughout All Ages,
World Without End. Amen. (Eph.3:21)
Thank you with much love and radiance in His Awesome Majesty!

SO, LET US PRESS ON TO KNOW THE LORD.
Hos 6:3 Let us know; let us press on to know the LORD; his going out is sure as the dawn; he will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth.

I was very Blessed by this from Bob Hoekstra
Davy by Day by Grace
April 18
Fully Supplied through Knowing God
Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue. (2Pe_1:2-3)
Our lives are blessed whenever the Lord adds any of His blessings to our experience. Yet, there are times when we sense a need for God’s blessings to be multiplied to us. Well, God desires to intensify His working toward us. “Grace and peace be multiplied to you.” Drop after drop of refreshing water may encourage the thirsty soul. However, our hearts’ true need may be for fountains of living water. God loves to pour forth in abundance. “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly” (John 10:10). God’s grace (His undeserved resource for living) is available in multiplied measures. God’s peace (His heaven-sent spiritual tranquility) can be partaken of in magnified portions.
The process for partaking of these multiplied provisions simply involves growing in knowing our Lord. “Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.”
Another astounding truth about believers in Jesus Christ is that we have already been given everything needed for abundant Christian living: “His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness.” This is not to say that we are aware of what is ours, or that we are experiencing all that is ours. Nonetheless, God has already given us every spiritual provision needed to live as He desires (”all things that pertain to life”) and to grow in Christlikeness as He wills (”all things that pertain to . . . godliness”).
The process for accessing these comprehensive resources also involves getting to know the Lord better: “His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him,”
It is by grace that we initially come to know the Lord. As we get to know Him better, grace is then multiplied into our lives. When we first met the Lord, He gave us everything that we needed to live as He intended. As we grow in knowing Him, we access for living all that He has already given to us in Christ.
Dear Lord of abundant blessings, I praise You for Your bountiful grace. So frequently I underestimate Your goodness to me. What a staggering thought that You have already given me in Christ all that I need for a godly life. O Lord, I long to grow in knowing You, that all of these heavenly realities might be manifested in my life, for Your glory and honor, Amen.

Kindly spring again is here,
Trees and fields in bloom appear;
Hark! the birds with artless lays
Warble their Creator’s praise.
Where in winter all was snow,
Now the flowers in clusters grow;
And the corn, in green array,
Promises a harvest-day.
Lord, afford a spring to me,
Let me feel like what I see;
Speak, and by Thy gracious voice,
Make my drooping soul rejoice.
On Thy garden deign to smile,
Raise the plants, enrich the soil;
Soon Thy presence will restore
Life to what seemed dead before.
—John Newton, 1779
In the darkness,
Be thou our light,
Lord of the Universe.
When the red anger
washes over us in a midnight sea,
Breathe upon our souls
like you did upon the deep
so long ago,
rekindling in us that light
that only comes from you.
When the midnight shatters us
in its long, unending blackness,
Be our beacon,
breathing hope,
your life, into our aching bodies,
your perfect assurance
that the dawn will come.
When grief weighs us down,
remind us of that one morning long ago,
when you shattered the chains of the pit
opening wide the door,
and with your own touch,
lead us through that door
and into your joy.
Amen.
I was encouraged by Proclaim! - Faith Growing - and Derek Prince Legacy Radio as well today - on the Fruit of the Spirit called "Patience" and "Kindness". Jesus always knows just what I need...even before I ask. I am very well loved.
Potent, Distilled Wisdom.
Thanks for the links, Sister.
More feedback on these links...
How very good it is to hear such a good message.
We always benefit when the mirror of truth is held up for us, that Perfect Law of Liberty...
Jas 1:23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
Jas 1:24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
Jas 1:25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
Amen.
Thanks, Carb.
I Found this Hymn on the Net, and it Brought Back So Many Memories! We Used to Sing it at the Little Church my Husband and I Attended before it Closed Down a Few Years Ago, and I can still Hear those Dear Saints Voices Ringing with Praise!
When we All Get to Heaven {Lyrics: Eliza E. Hewitt, 1898. Composer: Emily D. Wilson}
Sing the wondrous love of Jesus,
Sing His mercy and His grace.
In the mansions bright and blessed
He’ll prepare for us a place.
When we all get to Heaven,
What a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus,
We’ll sing and shout the victory!
While we walk the pilgrim pathway,
Clouds will overspread the sky;
But when traveling days are over,
Not a shadow, not a sigh.
When we all get to Heaven,
What a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus,
We’ll sing and shout the victory!
Let us then be true and faithful,
Trusting, serving every day;
Just one glimpse of Him in glory
Will the toils of life repay.
When we all get to Heaven,
What a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus,
We’ll sing and shout the victory!
Onward to the prize before us!
Soon His beauty we’ll behold;
Soon the pearly gates will open;
We shall tread the streets of gold.
When we all get to Heaven,
What a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus,
We’ll sing and shout the victory!
Thank you Kitty Mittens, for the great hymn.
Rom 1:19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.
Rom 1:20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in (by) the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
OH LORD, WE PRAISE YOU.
LET EVERYTHING THAT HAS BREATH PRAISE YOU.
http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/o/p/opraisey.htm
O praise ye the Lord! praise Him in the height;
Rejoice in His Word, ye angels of light;
Ye heavens, adore Him by Whom ye were made,
And worship before Him in brightness arrayed.
O praise ye the Lord! Praise Him upon earth,
In tuneful accord, ye sons of new birth;
Praise Him Who hath brought you His grace from above,
Praise Him Who hath taught you to sing of His love.
O praise ye the Lord! All things that give sound;
Each jubilant chord re-echo around;
Loud organs, His glory forth tell in deep tone,
And sweet harp, the story of what He hath done.
O praise ye the Lord! Thanksgiving and song
To Him be outpoured all ages along!
For love in creation, for Heaven restored,
For grace of salvation, O praise ye the Lord!
O praise ye the Lord and sing a new song,
Amid all His saints His praises prolong;
The praise of their Maker His people shall sing,
And children of Zion rejoice in their King.
