You Are Not Alone

 

  My walk this morning was brisk, but insightful, as always. Last night's rain created a balmy, but relaxing, environment as I walked.  My night was filled with dreams and visions which caused me to awaken on an hourly basis. I have come to terms with the fact that my mind will possibly always be permeated with quickening thoughts of both conscious and subconscious situations. I have learned to be attentive to my dreams, for it is when we have surrendered our fleshly minds to sleep that God can best commune with our Spirit man. Keeping in touch with my Facebook friends has shown me that life goes on for us all. This month alone we have suffered great losses, experienced  trying difficulties, celebrated in successes, and have had our faith tested to the limit, it seems. We have learned through all these things that God is faithful to our cry. We have seen that we are stronger than we imagined possible and that prayer does, indeed, change circumstances. We have had it confirmed, once again, that the battle is not given to the strong but to the one who holds on to the end.

  I am walking on egg shells today. My heart and senses are intently attuned to what is going on in and around me. I believe we are all connected in God's plan. As the old saying goes, "No man is an island, no man walks alone. Each man's joy is joy to me, each man's grief is mine own." So I pray for your situations. I ask for God's mercy on your sick family member. I offer supplication for the healing of your disparaging financial problems and that they will be alleviated very soon. I ask God to hold you when no one understands the depth of your pain. I pray that you will be able to successfully break away from bad habits which trouble your very soul.

"O Lord, how many are my foes!

How many rise up against me!

Many are saying of me,

“God will not deliver him.”

But you are a shield around me, O Lord;

you bestow glory on me and lift up my head.

To the Lord I cry aloud,

and he answers me from his holy hill.

I lie down and sleep;

I wake again, because the Lord sustains me.

I will not fear the tens of thousands

drawn up against me on every side.

  Arise, O Lord!

Deliver me, O my God!

Strike all my enemies on the jaw;

break the teeth of the wicked.

From the Lord comes deliverance.

May your blessing be on your people."

 Psalm Chapter 3

I love you all,
