Out of the Depths of My Soul...


Isaiah 41:10

 
Psalms 130: 1-3 kjv
"1 Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Lord. 2 Lord hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. 3 If thou shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?"

 Dear Friends,

 There are certain life chapters or experiences that lead us to crying unto the Lord out of the depths of our souls.  The depths of your soul are different from the depths of mine.  Although, similar or even the same type of experience may lead us there, the depths of one's soul is a private place. Its magnitude, the true impact of its dimension can only be understood by God and interpreted by the Holy Spirit. And it is in the Mighty Name of Jesus that we are pulled out of strongholds and given the strength to continue on.

 "In That Vast Dimension: Out of the Depths" sdktyus @2017

 Lord in that vast dimension
Out of the depths of my soul
I come to Your throne with thoughts and concerns
That You alone can hold
There are petitions for those I care about
Needs in their lives I pray will soon be met
Sisters and brothers on my journey that others often forget 

 Lord in that vast dimension
Out of the depths of my weary soul
I ask for more faith and strength
When life's struggles take their toll
When the "assignments" are unclear to me
And it seems that I am off track
Give me the courage, renew my mind
Remind me though the Holy Spirit that there is no lack

 Lord in that vast dimension
Out of the depths of my soul
I pray for the hungry, imprisoned and lonely
I pray for the grieving and those who struggle as they grow old
I pray for the unforgiving, touch their hearts and fill them with grace
I pray that you forgive me Lord and keep me in a humble place

 Lord in that vast dimension
Out of the depths of my soul
Hear my prayers I cannot speak nor write
The stories yet untold
Lift from me the hurt and pain the enemy constantly throws
And Lord when all is said and done. when my earthly race is won
Out of the depths of my soul I cry
Let me hear You say well done.

 *In loving memory of my sister Gretchen Renee who went home to be with the Lord on November 12, 2015.  On that day heaven welcomed a faithful soldier. "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord."   "Only God...only God."
God bless.
in Christ,
Sis. Stephanie

Unlimited Access

"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"     - I Timothy 2:5 Dear Friends, "Please listen carefully for our options have changed."  I stay on the line listening to each option. More often than not there are at least seven.  If none of the options meet the need you have the final option of pressing "0" for the operator.   I praise God that on this Christian journey.  The access options do not change.  There is only One. One God, One Mediator, the man Christ Jesus. Jesus paid the ultimate sacrifice to provide us with unlimited access to the throne of God. We are never put on hold when we reach out to God. Prayer is a direct line through Jesus Christ.  Our worship, our praise is to the One and Only God.  Worthy is the Lamb. Praise God for Unlimited Access through Jesus Christ Our Lord. God bless! in Christ, Sis. Stephanie

I Remember

"When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.  Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings I will rejoice." - Psalms 63:6-7 Dear Friends, "My sister and me used to have bunk beds.  This reminds of me of that. Do you remember Stephanie? It's like we are having a pajama party." I remember. I sat with my sister in her Hospice room and I remembered.  Bunk beds that we sometimes had stacked and at other times they were laid side by side, like twin beds.  I remember that we are not in our room of long ago. Unless the Lord says otherwise when this "party" is over my sister will be with the Lord and I will return to my earthly home.  I remember. God was a Mighty Fortress during those days.  In a place where people go to comfortably die, the Lord was teaching a lesson on how to live.  Praise and worship was the norm.  My sister the angelic soprano sang.  Family came in the room and for...

Blessed Are They That Believe

Luke 1:39-47 King James Version (KJV) 39  And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda; 40  And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth. 41  And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: 42  And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. 43  And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44  For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. 45  And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. 46  And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, 47  And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. Dear Friends, Seasons Greetings!  When...
