Praying Time

And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.  - Acts 16:25

Paul and Silas did not stop praying.  Though they were imprisoned and the outcome looked bleak they held onto their faith.  And at midnight they prayed.  Midnight. In the dark, in a dungeon.  They prayed and they sang praises.  They did not just sing praises.  But they sang praises unto God.  Then what?  The prisoners heard them.

It is midnight in our homes and communities.  Midnight in cities and the country.  It is midnight around the world.  Yet, just as Paul and Silas did, saints are praying.  From a place of restriction, while having limited access to familiar places and people, it is praying time.    Behind prison walls today men and women are praying. Family members are praying for loved ones.   No, prayers have not just begun.  Yet, in some instances they have become fine tuned.  For we know every second, every minute and hour is praying time.  We should always pray and not faint.  (See Luke 18)

Midnight.  It is midnight.  We are in a place we have never been before in our lives collectively.  A collective challenge.  A collective struggle.  A collective set of questions:  What next?  How long?  Truth is God knows.  No cliche in that answer. Only God knows.

In this particular midnight let us do as we know to do.  Pray and sing praises unto God. Others will hear and be encouraged.  It's praying time.

God bless!
In Christ,

My, My, My

  Luke 1:46b “My soul doth magnify the Lord,” My, my, my Such were my thoughts this morning as I looked out of my window at the sunrise. The Lord in His Majestic power has ordered another day. Waking up with the ability to see, to hear, and to speak. Graced with mercy to walk and talk. The Lord continues to bless and to keep. I did not wake up without aches and pains. Carefree and without challenges is not an entry on my schedule. Yet, my soul doth magnify the Lord. The Lord has given me another day to live another opportunity to serve. My, my, my.  God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

Just a Moment

  1 Corinthians 15:52   “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” A moment. Just a minute. Things happen. Situations change. Here one minute and gone the next.  So the saying goes. Moments. They mater. While we have time… Take a second. Press pause. Stop.  Consider. Right now.  This moment. Counts…⏰ God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

I’ll Go With You

  Isaiah 41:10   “Fear thou not; for I  am  with thee: be not dismayed; for I  am  thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” “Jesus said if you go I’ll go with you.” Butterflies in my stomach  A racing heart  I do not want to attend the meeting  I wish I could cancel the appointment  I don’t want to talk about it Over “it” I don’t think I can do this  BUT GOD He reminds me that of course, I cannot accomplish even the most mundane tasks on my own  He assures me day by day that He is with me  He builds me up He orders my steps  He speaks peace to my soul  He renews my heart  Do not be afraid  You belong to Me I’ve got you I am holding you in My mighty hands  Go! I will go with you. God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie
