  • Staying positive in worldly woe

     When all we see and hear is doom and gloom, and our lives have turned upside down, we must make a choice; who are we listening to?  We need to not only follow our leader’s direction, but must also seek God’s face to hear His guidance in our situations.  This is not the time for worry and fear but it is occasion to stand on God’s Word to proclaim victory over sickness, fear and confusion in Jesus’ name.   

 Positive in Worldly Woe

How to stay positive in negative worldly woes,
Is a question most seek the answer to know.
When the unknown begins to cause stress within,
Look in faith to the One that sees beginning to end,
When angers emotion starts its fire inside,
And you are overcome with no answers in sight.
Come to the water that’s sweet flow,
Will calm the storms raging in your soul.
When uncertainties, fear and stress begin to rise,
Turn to the God with all seeing eyes.
He is the One certain and true,
He fights your battle for you.
He is Prince of Peace; come take rest.
He travels with you and plans for your best.
A the place of decision there is choice;
Listen to the despairing predictions or heed God’s voice.
Pray and repent, and trust and praise the Lord above.
You’ve traveled from negative into the positive realm of faith and love.

Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart;
and lean not unto thine own understanding.
 In all thy ways acknowledge him,
and he shall direct thy paths.

Isaiah 50:7
For the Lord God will help me;
therefore shall I not be confounded:
therefore have I set my face like a flint,
and I know that I shall not be ashamed.

Place all in God’s Hands By Brenda Drake

I know when I begin to fear and worry; and become irritable, stressed, and out of control. I need to go to God. I don’t know why I sometimes take so long, But I am learning to pray at the first warnings signs, I am attempting to handle it all on my own.

Place all in God’s Hands

When confronted with an issue that causes fear to reign,
Thats implications cause your heart and mind inner pain.
The very best remedy to relieve its stress,
Is to bring the problems to God and in His decisions rest.
When the issue involves someone you hold dear;
Pray and believe that your God hears.
Trust in His intervention as He steps out in your behalf.
For the Word says you will have if you ask.
Trust and faith are sometimes tested it’s true;
You must be convinced all turns out the best for you.
Many times your expectations are not the way that’s planned.
Trust God and know your prayers rest in His hand.

Matthew 11:28
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Philippians 4:6-7
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

I Lift my Heart By Brenda Drake

Prayer enters into His presence. He has rest for or soul.

There is a place we can enter where only we fit.  It is a perfect place of rest; even when storms rage outside and within.  Trouble, fear, and worry must be left at the door. In our time of prayer trust and faith in God’s love and care for every part of our life is restored.  It is a sweet time of willing transparency in the presence of the lover of our soul.

I Lift my Heart

I lift my heart to the One that in darkness sees clear.
In my devotions He chases away my inner fears.
Deep in the vast places unseen within;
The rumbling, raging waters are known by Him.
He says to the turbulent sea “Be Still.”
And assures I walk in the Father’s will.
By faith I know our steps are not to Him a surprise.
For all things are evident and clear in His eyes.
Every heavy burden I toss at His feet to stay.
Every dark thought contrary to God’s Word is cast away.
I will continue to lift up my face in faith to Him,
He is able and on Him I depend.
I pray fervently to be His reflection
I break open my heart for His close inspection.
He fixes and mends and joy is revived.
When Jesus makes my heart comfortable for Him to abide!

John 14:1
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

Hebrews 4:16
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Faith Filled Prayers By Brenda Drake

            Seemingly impossible situations feel like a weight within.   Even when nothing has outwardly changed our hearts are relieved from heaviness when we lift them up in prayer.  Our faith is rewarded as we trust and give thanks.   It is impossible to please God without faith.

Faith Filled Prayers

When circumstances stand large in silent threat,
Do not despair, good from God expect.
In a moment, in a twinkling of an eye, things can change,
It is not a hard thing for God to arrange.
Take one day at a time, do what you know to do.
Walk with steady step following the One leading you.
Myriads of angelic activity surround your life,
In the spiritual realm there is a fight.
Pray for God’s will, but do not worry about it.
Trust and rely on God’s Word; choose to never to doubt it.
Life is beautiful, the simple things enjoy.
Seek ye first God’s kingdom and added is extra joy.
Your heart’s desire is as plain as day to God above.
He is the dream planter, He is God of love.
God is not by your circumstances caught unaware,
Believe His love, lift up faith-filled prayers.

Galatians 5:5
For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.

Jeremiah 29:11-13
 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.  Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.  And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
