8-31-13 Kneeling in Public
Psalm 95:6-7
Come, let us worship and bow down. Let us kneel before the Lord our maker, for he is our God. We are the people he watches over, the flock under his care. If only you would listen to his voice today!

Well, just don’t do this in public. (typed sarcastically)

My husband posted the following on Facebook this morning about the publicly professed Christian and football player, Tim Tebow:
How did it come to pass that so many NFL writers, commenters and observers are so invested in and celebrating Tebow's release?
He has committed no crime, has no criminal record, hasn't any drug or alcohol problem, did not cause his college to go into probation, doesn't have a Heisman he should have returned, doesn't drive recklessly through neighborhoods, has not been scandalized by gambling or peds, does not have an illegal dog fighting operation, has won more games than he's lost, has a playoff win.
Yet his getting cut from the Pats is being reported with such gloating and pomposity. Like some great victory has been won. 
Hundreds of guys cut today, and a reverential somber tone for every cut but Tim.
You have to ask why?

Jesus said, 
If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first. 19 The world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world, so it hates you. 20 Do you remember what I told you? ‘A slave is not greater than the master.’ Since they persecuted me, naturally they will persecute you. And if they had listened to me, they would listen to you. 21 They will do all this to you because of me, for they have rejected the one who sent me. 22 They would not be guilty if I had not come and spoken to them. But now they have no excuse for their sin.23 Anyone who hates me also hates my Father. 24 If I hadn’t done such miraculous signs among them that no one else could do, they would not be guilty. But as it is, they have seen everything I did, yet they still hate me and my Father. 25 This fulfills what is written in their Scriptures: ‘They hated me without cause.’   (John 15:18-22)

Everyone certainly does hate on Tim Tebow without cause, but he isn’t the first nor will he be the last. And I’m glad unjust hatred hasn’t stopped him from participating in the wonderful worship described in Psalm 95:6-7. Let’s all kneel before the Lord our Maker no matter who is watching or disapproving. For HE is OUR God.

Dear God,
Thank you for warning us beforehand that the world will hate us for no good reason simply because we believe in your Son. And thank you that believing in your Son and the peace, joy, forgiveness, love and eternal life that accompanies such a lifestyle FAR OUTWEIGHS the disapproval of strangers. Thank you for the examples of your faithful children and for your Holy Spirit who enables all Believers to worship, kneel, and bow openly and unashamedly before you. I love you and pray for such a bold faith. In Jesus’ name, amen.

8-30-13 A Really Bad Plan
Ezekiel 22:14
Can your courage endure, or can your hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with you? I the Lord have spoken, and I will do it.

God is warning his people in Ezekiel 22 that judgment is coming due to their own conduct. They are guilty of boldly and blatantly sinning against the Lord, and God is asking them if their courage to be so bold will be able to hold up when he executes his judgment on them. I’m thinking, “No.”

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 says,
Surely you know that the people who do wrong will not inherit God’s kingdom. Do not be fooled. Those who sin sexually, worship idols, take part in adultery, those who are male prostitutes, or men who have sexual relations with other men, those who steal, are greedy, get drunk, lie about others, or rob—these people will not inherit God’s kingdom.

I was talking with a recent high school graduate the other day. I asked what her plans were now. She mentioned travel and a plan for future schooling but made it really clear that she has no intention of ever settling down and that her lifestyle wouldn’t include any kind of faithful monogamous relationship. That’s code for sleeping around. And God says that those who sin sexually (the King James Version calls them fornicators - a person who has sex with a person to whom they are not married) will not inherit God’s kingdom.

This is not good. What’s her plan? God sent his Son into the world (the first time) not to judge the world, but to save the world through him according to John 3:17. But the next time Jesus comes it will be to judge the living and the dead (2 Timothy 4:1). So what is this girl’s plan? “Those who sin sexually” will not “inherit God’s kingdom.” I’m pretty sure Jesus is going to ask her about this.

She may just be choosing not to think about that right now, but I do know that if she doesn’t alter her plan, her courage to live purposefully in sin will not endure when the Lord comes to deal with it. Purposing to spend a lifetime in sin is a really bad plan. It is arrogant and gutsy to live a life defying God and his commands. And the same ostentatious fearlessness it takes to defy God will not be around to save a person on Judgment Day.

The Good News for this sweet misguided girl is this: I can encourage her. It’s not too late at all. 2 Timothy 4 goes on to say, Be ready at all times, and tell people what they need to do. Tell them when they are wrong. Encourage them with great patience and careful teaching...

And better yet 1 Corinthians 6 goes on to say that she can be washed clean. She can be made holy and right with God. She just needs to direct her boldness and courage to believing and obeying rather than to defying.

Dear God,
I pray for my young friend and many friends I know just like her who use their courage to stand against you. Help me to encourage them with great patience, and help them not to be fooled any longer that there will be no consequences for sin simply because society doesn’t recognize it as such. Lord, NO ONE will be able to stand opposed to you when your Son comes back to judge. So, I pray these people would not be lost to you, but instead they would join the family of tons of people you have made holy by your Son. I love you and trust you to do this good thing. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.

8-29-13  All. One.
Galatians 3:28
There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.



I know I’ve quoted from the former slave’s, Harriet Jacobs’, autobiography before, but listen to what she said about her former master. “My mistress had taught me the precepts of God’s Word: ‘Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself...’ But I was her slave, and I suppose she did not recognize me as her neighbor. I would give much to blot out from my memory that one great wrong.” Harriet had expected the mistress who had taught her to read and write and allowed her to live safely with her own family would provide for her freedom upon her death as suspected. Instead Harriet was bequeathed to a relative.

God doesn’t make some kind of hierarchical distinctions among his Family. The idea that a person who is faithful to share God’s Word and his love with someone and not consider themselves equally a child of God rubbed Harriet the wrong way, and rightfully so. Her mistress let her Southern culture dominate her Christian character leaving the author and the reader quite disappointed.

The Apostle Paul confronted the issue of Culture vs. Christianity too...
But when Peter came to Antioch, I had to oppose him to his face, for what he did was very wrong. When he first arrived, he ate with the Gentile Christians, who were not circumcised. But afterward, when some friends of James came, Peter wouldn’t eat with the Gentiles anymore. He was afraid of criticism from these people who insisted on the necessity of circumcision. As a result, other Jewish Christians followed Peter’s hypocrisy, and even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy. (Galatians 2:11-13)

God says there is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For they are all one in Christ Jesus. That doesn’t mean people don’t fall into these groups. I, personally, am female, but the male isn’t more loved or more of a Believer or more saved than the female and vise versa. But when we act with superiority within our groups, God isn’t pleased.

God makes it pretty clear in Isaiah 29:13 what the problem is: These people say they are mine. They honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.  That is NOT what I want to be, a hypocrite Christian who talks about God but has nothing to do with him in my heart. I don’t want to be the Jew criticizing the Gentile or the master teaching the slave about love and then not showing it to them. If it doesn’t sit well with me, it certainly isn’t sitting well with God.

We are all one in Christ Jesus. All. One.

Dear God,
I thank you so much there isn’t a hierarchy for faith in your Son. Thank you that there is no favoritism in your Kingdom. Help me not to fall into the trap our cultures set for us to favor certain people over others. You don’t do that and I’m so glad because status is a continually changing phenomenon. Help me to love others like you do and please keep my heart from hypocrisy. I love you, and thank you, and pray in your Son’s name according to your good will. Amen.

8-28-13 At Just the Right Time
John 6:29
Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”



We have to work for a living, work at our talents, and work to achieve a goal, but the work required to enter the family of God is simple, not accomplished by sweat, anxiety, or physical strength. Just this: Believe. 

Paul says it this way in Romans 12:2...
Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Believing in Jesus starts with a change in the way we think and believe, and that will lead to changes in our physical work as well as we then...learn to know God’s will... which is good and pleasing and perfect.

Believe? That’s it? That’s all? No out of pocket expense, required mission trip, no living like a monk? Just believe in him whom he has sent. That’s sounds easy because it is.

What is interesting to me is that right now in this day and age in America we are the most easily accessible to God generation there has ever been. There isn’t anyone who isn’t aware of him. The Good News isn’t limited to just word of mouth communication. There are TVs, radios, aps, audio Bibles, Bibles in every font and language, missions organizations with jets and humvees.  It is pretty easy to become a Christian right now in our part of the world. 

However, coinciding with these conditions is also an incredible rise in evil too. Paul warns in 2 Timothy 3:1-5, “In the last days there will be very difficult times. For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly.”

I can’t imagine what it would be like to have the increase in evil without the increase in technology. Romans 5:6 says that “at just the right time, Christ died for us sinners.” I believe at just the right time Bible aps and podcasts were invented so that God’s Word could be easily accessed in a day and age that proves Jesus is returning soon!

People still have time to change the way they think and to simply believe. There’s even a tutorial for it!

Dear God,
I thank you so much that being part of your family didn’t require massive amounts of intelligence or strength on my part or I would be out of luck! I thank you for your Son. I thank you for the day and age I live in where I can read about you for myself and not have to wait for some scribe to travel through my town. I thank you that your Word is on my phone, in my car, on my coffee table, and even in the songs on my iPod. I can literally think about you all day. That’s easy - easy like simply believing in your Son with no hidden requirements. I love you and thank you for everything you do at just the right time! Amen.

8-27-13 “Forgetting to Remember”
Isaiah 26:3
You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!

“Whose thoughts are fixed on you...”  Pastor Dean was teaching from Ezekiel 22 on Sunday, and in this chapter part of Ezekiel’s message to the people from the Lord (along with a host of sins listed for which they are guilty) is this: ...But me you have forgotten, declares the Lord God. Dean explained that forgotten here isn’t the kind of forgotten that is a lapse in memory, but it’s the ignoring kind of forgotten. Dean said, “The people were guilty of ignoring God’s commands, following other gods, and living in fear.” That’s how they’ve forgotten God. They were not only ignoring all his commands but also ignoring all he has done.

This message isn’t just for the Hebrews back then, unfortunately, Believers still do this today. When a new crisis emerges it is automatic and certain we’ll get amnesia about the last crisis God has already seen us through. How freeing it would be to live without amnesia? Just let the crisis come with no fear because we don’t forget who God is and what he does for us.

Then we would personally experience the first half of this Isaiah 26:3 passage: Perfect Peace.

I love how God distributes perfect peace to an imperfect people who choose to remember him!

Dear God,
Help me to remember you today. Help me not to fall into the trap of being overwhelmed by circumstances and just live how you say and remember all you have done. And I thank you so much for the peace that truly does accompany this lifestyle. Though the problems may linger, so does your peace; and I’d much rather have problems with your peace than problems without your peace. I love you and pray in your Son’s name, amen.

8-26-13 “Absolutely Golden”
Ephesians 5:31-32
As the Scriptures say, “A man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.” This is a great mystery, but it is an illustration of the way Christ and the church are one.

Golden Anniversaries are becoming rare, a thing of the past. I’d like to thank my parents for the one simple thing they have done that has made their marriage last for 50 years. They both have chosen to be followers of Jesus, to make the One True and Living God the center of their lives and that has made all the difference in the world.

How do we explain marriages without God as the center lasting 50 years? Luck. That’s all. But I wouldn’t want a Luck marriage, there is no way it yields the same lasting effects like my parents’ marriage. Our family is living proof.

My parents taught us to trust God. Then, when we had opportunities to trust God on our own or not we saw that trusting God turned out to be a good thing. For instance, we moved into a huge house in El Cajon when I was 10. My parents’ bedroom was in a different city. The house made noises at night that were new to me and I often made my way to their room in the middle of the night to tell them I was too scared to sleep. They would always reassure me that God is watching over us. They would pray with me for God to comfort me and then they’d send me back to bed alone. It didn’t take long for me to just stay in my room and remind myself that God is watching me and pray for comfort by myself and then sleep like a baby. I could’ve kept going back to their room night after night. But I tried out what they had taught me, found it to be good, and believed it for myself. It’s not brainwashing to teach your kids about God, it’s really super good for them. Say I don’t know how to swim or something and my dad teaches me. The next time I jump in a pool I can depend on my own devices or try the strokes he showed me. Of course I would try the strokes he showed me and find more success in the pool with that than my dog paddling. Same thing.

My parents did not leave us to our own devices. They taught us what God thinks about stuff by reading the Bible to us and praying with us. And when we went out on our own we chose those things for ourselves. I don’t say this to brag about my parents or our character, but it is simply because of God’s goodness that me, my sister and brother never had a wayward period. All of us trust in the Lord. Our whole family. That isn’t 50 years of Luck. That is 50 years of God’s grace, 50 years of God’s faithfulness to my parents fulling the promise in Psalm 128.

And Psalm 128 happens to be my parents’ favorite scripture. It says:
How joyful are those who fear the Lord--
all who follow his ways! ...How joyful and prosperous you will be!
Your wife will be like a fruitful grapevine,
flourishing within your home.
Your children will be like vigorous young olive trees
as they sit around your table.
That is the Lord’s blessing
for those who fear him.

My dad has never failed to pray for each and every one of us every single day. We are safe and healthy and I don’t think that’s a coincidence or luck. And it doesn’t mean some trying times haven’t occurred. They have. My parents had lots of downs with their ups over the years. The point is, they keep praying anyway. And God has blessed them for that. He has blessed our whole family because of that, and I am so thankful.

If you spend time with our family you’ll see our faults and weakness too after not too long. The difference between our family and the “lucky” family is that God isn’t holding our sins against us. He excuses our sins because we believe in Jesus. Romans 3:22 says that we are made right with God simply by believing in his Son. And a family can’t do that if the parents don’t tell them. An entire family can’t reap God’s blessing if the parents leave the kids to their own devices. 

Do you know why God uses the illustration of an olive tree in my parent’s favorite passage? Because olive trees are the oldest of trees. There are some still standing today in the Mediterranean region that are literally thousands of years old. That means the result for a godly couple is that they will always be with their kids. And my parents will. The fact that every single one of us is saved, that means we Believe Jesus forgives our sins, means that we will be in heaven together forever. An unending family. That is not luck. And I would choose the marriage with God in it over any other marriage every time! The luck marriage just doesn’t produce the same everlasting results.

Everyone of us has a say over what we do. It’s a lie to think that a marriage might not last. How can you stay with the same person that long? Marriage should be temporary. But you can make yourself stay married same as you can make yourself never rob a bank. It think it’s ironic that people in our day and age have no trouble bragging on how long they’ve been best friends with a person, “Oh, we go back 30 years!” But for some reason having the same spouse for that long or longer is an impossible thing?

My dad’s favorite thing to say about his engagement to my mom is a conversation she had with him before their wedding. She told him how divorce has been common in her family and that she would have not part in one ever. They’ve never ever joked about it or have ever threatened to leave in the heat of an argument. I don’t recall either one of them ever even driving off in a huff to cool off or anything like that. Divorce, leaving, was never an option for either of them. She may have been saying, “I’ll kill you before I divorce you,” I don’t know (hahahaha). But I do know that they understand marriage to be an illustration of how much Jesus loves the people who belong to him (Ephesians 5) and to ever leave each other would be misrepresenting Jesus to their kids and to the whole world.

I am so thankful for their faithfulness to God all these years. Not perfect, but definitely steady. I’m extremely thankful for the domino affect it has had on our entire family. And I know their marriage certainly has touched the lives of lots of other people too. If Jesus isn’t the center of your marriage or in your life at all, don’t go to bed tonight without asking him to forgive you for the wrong things you do. Don’t live another day on luck. Luck eventually runs out. But the promises of God last forever and ever.

Dear God,
I love seeing your promises come true. Thank you for giving me godly parents who chose to be faithful to share YOU with me and my whole family. I am so thankful for my parents, for their love, encouragement, generosity, faithfulness, and example to me my whole life. Thank you for blessing them in every way. It’s not luck. It’s you! And I just can’t thank you enough for their impact on my life. Amen!

8-23-13 “Wanted”
Psalm 94:19
When doubts filled my mind, your (God’s) comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer.

So so so many times I need my hope and cheer renewed. Just this past week I got the blues a little bit as sometimes circumstances or hormones have a tendency to make a person glum. The Enemy wants me to feel loopy or abandoned or hopeless, friendless, worthless, and any and every other word with “less” after it. But when life is built on the foundation of God’s truth, these feelings don’t stick around for very long.

When I feel friendless, I know this is just not true. Jesus calls me his friend in John 15:15. No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. Sometimes it may seem he’s my only friend, but he’s a friend that is ALWAYS with me, so to assume I am friendless or that no one wants to be around me is just not true. Having one of something is NOT the same as having none.

Knowing this truth about my relationship with Jesus renewed my hope and gave me cheer this week. And I just need to share this with whomever will read this. Knowing that something I feel to be true isn’t true is a great relief.

I love the song Wanted by Dara Maclean right now. Listen to it now and get some renewed hope and cheer!

Dear God,
I thank you so much that you want me. Thank you that I am not friendless or hopeless or any other of the lesses. You went to a lot of trouble so that we could be friends and I am so thankful. And I am thankful for the comfort that comes from knowing these truths that smother me in hope and cheer. I love you and praise you and pray in your Son’s name. Amen.

8-22-13 “God’s Schedule”
Romans 8:32
Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else?

I think it’s funny that I, as a Believer, need to remind myself of this truth. The One who would give me the BEST thing, his only Son, certainly isn’t holding back from giving me every good thing.

At church Pastor Dean was teaching from Ezekiel chapter one last Sunday. It starts out with Ezekiel giving this description:
On July 31 of my thirtieth year, while I was with the Judean exiles beside the Kebar River in Babylon, the heavens were opened and I saw visions of God. This happened during the fifth year of King Jehoiachin’s captivity. (The Lord gave this message to Ezekiel son of Buzi, a priest, beside the Kebar River in the land of the Babylonians, and he felt the hand of the Lord take hold of him).

So the background is this. Ezekiel is 30 years old, son of a priest, and has been in captivity with his people for the last five years. Pastor Dean pointed out that priests began their time of temple service at age 30. So, had they been back at home it would have been time for Ezekiel to enter his time for temple service as a priest.

But what must of Ezekiel been thinking 5 years ago, as a 25 year old, when the Babylonians came and took them all away? “Dang. I was so close. I’m going to miss my time of ministry.”

And 5 years later, when Ezekiel is 30, God, indeed, begins Ezekiel’s ministry. = God’s Schedule.

This little introductory passage from Ezekiel has been speaking volumes to me lately. God’s got a schedule. What do I do when, from my point of view, it looks like I’ve missed the boat for some thing? Complain? Get Discouraged? Why not just wait for another boat? God’s boat.

Just because things don’t happen in a timeframe that is sensible and logical to me doesn’t mean those things are not going to happen. But they are going to happen on God’s schedule for the person who decides to trust in him.

And God describes his schedule in Jeremiah 29:11...
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Well, when is that? What will that be? I don’t know. But I know that God didn’t even “spare his own Son but gave him up for us ALL,” so he certainly wouldn’t do all that and then hold something else that’s good from me.

So I pray for his schedule in my life. And I truly can look back from time to time and say, “Oh my! God didn’t forget about that!” Just like Ezekiel may have realized at age 30 he did, in fact, enter the ministry and right on schedule!

Dear God,
Help me to live in hope every day. It is so easy for circumstances to make me anxious and forgetful. But you say that your plans are good and I believe you because I can look back and see so many wonderful good things that you have brought about in YOUR TIMING. Help me not to try and make things happen for myself; it’s never the same! I love you and I thank you for who you are and what you’ve done, and I pray in your Son’s name, amen.

8-21-13 “The God of my Life”
Psalm 42:8
By day the Lord directs his love, at night his song is with me— a prayer to the God of my life.



“The God of my life...”  That’s it! That’s what I’m about. I want God to be in every single aspect of my life, my routine, my thoughts, my actions, and my words. The God of my life.

Rob and Dean have been teaching from Ezekiel lately at church. Kind of a weird book that I don’t typically read at my leisure, so some of the verses we’ve studied have really stuck out at me and given me new things to think about.

Like this one. God tells Ezekiel in chapter 3:10-11, “Let all my words sink deep into your own heart first. Listen to them carefully for yourself. Then go to your people in exile and say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says!’ Do this whether they listen to you or not.”

What a great idea. Fully digest God’s Word in my heart first. Think about it a lot. Practice it. Then share it. And share it whether the hearers listen or not. That’s a better way to share our faith then just casually passing it along thus allowing for only casual results. A person would need to see an example of the life being explained to them, right?

I shouldn’t tell people to make God the God of their life if he isn’t the God of mine. How confusing and totally misleading. Jesus calls such a person a blind guide in Matthew 15:14. And the trouble with a blind guide is that they both will fall into a pit!

I like God’s direction by day and his comfort at night. These are good things, and they are things I wish for others to experience as well. But I have to be all in. I must allow him and believe him to be the God of my life.

Dear God,
Please be the God of my life everyday! Affect every thought, word, and behavior of mine. Let me let your words sink in deep and become part of me and be faithful to share with others whether they listen or not. Thank you that the result of this kind of life is your direction by day and your comfort at night. It’s truly and amazing and wonderful way to live regardless of any surrounding circumstances. Help me just keep trusting you. I love you so much and pray in your Son’s name, amen.

8-20-13 “Facts are Facts”
Psalm 16:8
I know the Lord is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.

It’s important to notice the predicate in the first sentence is know and not feel. God wants me to be confident of the facts not rely on my feelings. Feelings lie; fact’s don’t.


In Psalm 46:10 God says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

When we see God exalted among the nations it will prove what we have known all along to be true is true. Jesus admits, in John 13:19, “I tell you this beforehand, so that when it happens you will believe that I Am the Messiah.”

And in Deuteronomy 7:7-11 God gives us some more incredible facts: 
“The Lord did not set his heart on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other nations, for you were the smallest of all nations! Rather, it was simply that the Lord loves you, and he was keeping the oath he had sworn to your ancestors. That is why the Lord rescued you with such a strong hand from your slavery and from the oppressive hand of Pharaoh, king of Egypt.  Understand, therefore, that the Lord your God is indeed God. He is the faithful God who keeps his covenant for a thousand generations and lavishes his unfailing love on those who love him and obey his commands. But he does not hesitate to punish and destroy those who reject him. Therefore, you must obey all these commands, decrees, and regulations I am giving you today.”

1. He loves the people who belong to him.
2. He rescues those who trust in him.
3. He is faithful and keeps his promises.
4. He punishes those who reject him.
5. He wants his people to obey him.
6. He is God.

These aren’t sentiments to feel and ponder. These are truths whether I feel it or not, whether the world accepts it or not. Long ago people were ridiculed for insisting doctors wash their hands acknowledging invisible germs, but that doesn’t mean the bacteria wasn’t there just because it took a few more hundred years for them to get acknowledged. 

These facts about God are true. I know with certainty that God is always with me regardless of how I feel or society’s opinions simply because he says so.Therefore, isn’t it logical to conclude that the rest of Psalm 16:8 to be as equally true? I don’t need to be shaken for any reason, for he is right beside me. He has told me so beforehand, and one day, everyone will know it too.

Philippians 2:10-11 agrees:
When the name of Jesus is spoken, everyone in heaven and on earth and under the earth will bow down before Him.  And every tongue will say Jesus Christ is Lord. Everyone will give honor to God the Father.

And that’s a fact.

Dear God,
Thank you that the truth about you is true no matter who agrees and no matter if I feel it or not. You love me, you  help me, you are faithful to me, you keep your promises. YOU are God! I love you and thank you and ask you to help me believe and remember these facts so that I will not be shaken. Thank you for always being with me. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.
