Source of Strength

Power source
"I can do everything with the help of Christ who gives me the strength I need."
Philippians 4:13 NLT

Man is never so tall as when he kneels before God — never so great as when he humbles himself before God.

And the man who kneels to God can stand up to anything.
Louis H. Evans1
Isaiah 9:6-7 NLT
Hang in there

Last night as I jumped in Bed, I recalled a time when I would not get in bed until I knelt down for a quick prayer. Maybe just the child's prayer of

"Now I lay me down to sleep"

Often I was there asking for something but always saying,

"Thank you God for today and your many blessings."

David and I spent a lot of evenings (when out children were sick or in distress) praying for healing or guidance.

So I thought, where did that go? Why do I not kneel and pray? Have I become so complacent in my life that I do not take the time to kneel before God, and let him know just how much I do love him. I tell him, but do I show him?

Is he there to help me stand in the rough times? He has never failed me yet.

So today my heart is recalling an old song.

A song that can become a prayer if you just let it flow from your heart.

I didn't come here to ask you for anything,

I just came to talk with you Lord.

You've answered a million prayers or more,

that I forgot to thank you for,

I just came to talk with you Lord.

Maybe tomorrow there will be trouble and sorrow,

and a thousand teardrops may fall.

But until I face tomorrows task,

I have no special favors to ask,

I just came to talk with you Lord.
