Prayer does Make a Difference

I remember when I returned to church as a prodigal, it was the most difficult decision I had to make, but I knew it was a step I had to take… I’ll never forget it was November 8, 1998.

Wow, I had no idea that I was on my way to the most thrilling journey of a lifetime! Everything didn’t happen overnight, but I kept taking baby steps, and I recall one day a lady in church introduced me to “Steps to Freedom in Christ,” by Neil Anderson. I was in a desperate situation, and so I gave it a try. From that moment on I was never the same again. I was set free from the spirit of suicide, and all other addictions were completely gone.

Not long after the Lord put on my heart the importance of prayer, here is one I wrote in 1999. There were many others, in fact hundreds of poetry and prayers I had penned, and as time went on, I saw my life drawing closer to the heart of God.. I pray this prayer will be a blessing to you .

Dear Abba Father,

Help me to accept whatever comes my way with an understanding heart and a willing, submissive spirit. May I not rebel against anything You have allowed, but may I be thankful in all things with the assurance You will work everything out for my good, be it bitter or sweet. May You cause this flame of fire to burn into a passionate blaze of desire for You. May I grow to know Your perfect will. so, I may continue to walk in the way You have planned for me. As I am being refined and refinished, may I know I’ll receive a great reward in the end, as You complete the work You started in my life. May I be patient and wait on You to guide each step. May I not step ahead of Your plan but walk along side of You as You take hold of my hand. Thank You, Father for Your love and patience You have for me. May I also show my love for You by waiting patiently for You to finish the work You’ve begun in me, so I may enjoy to the fullest the perfect plan You designed in Your perfect time. May my love continue to grow for You. In Jesus name, now and forever. Amen and Amen

When I look back, it is truly a miracle what He has done in my life, where He has brought me from to where I am today.

Love & blessings, everyone. Thank you for visiting my blog.

Freedom in Christ

We are resurrected with Christ, and since He sacrificed His life to save ours, we can live in freedom. Since the Lord has set us free, we are free indeed. John 8:36 Through His death on the cross, we are free from the law of sin. Romans 8:2 Freedom in Christ is a grace we may not understand, but it is a beautiful way to live as we walk in His ways. We experience true freedom when we obey and follow Him. There is true peace, pure joy, and amazing love deep within that overflows with streams of refreshing wherever we go. Nothing can separate us from His love, and no one can take away our peace and joy unless we let them.

If you don’t know Jesus and you are struggling to make it on your own, invite Him into your heart and He will turn things around for you and make all things new.

In John 10:10 it says He came to give us an abundant life, and what a powerful promise. I am living that life in Him through the Holy Spirit, and it is utterly amazing! There was a time in my life when suicide was my only option. I attempted twice, but I was rescued just in time. That was 26 years ago, and I am still living free, and I am driven with a passion to tell others my story so they too can experience this new life in Christ. If you know of anyone who has lost all hope in living, I have just finished drafting my story titled “Life is Worth Living.” It is available on Amazon, and I will add the USA link…on here… It is available in other countries, and if you are interested, let me know and I will post it for you …

I pray you all have a blessed Resurrection weekend, and I want you to know you are loved beyond what you could ever imagine. 💕
