PRAYING A SONG

 

Colossians 3:16

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” 


Let the Word of God 

abide, 

dwell, 

take root 

in our spirit.

The richness of this indwelling is accomplished through consistent reading, study, and application.


While books, programs, or blogs have a place in encouraging spiritual growth, there is no substitute for reading the actual Word of God.


Two tools have helped me tremendously over the years.  

The first is writing out scripture.

 I used notecards when I first started. 

 I now use a journal. 

There are scripture writing plans that are topical and some take you through the Bible book by book.  

Most recently I wrote out the book of Esther. Three or four verses a day. 

I feel as though I completed a Bible study. 

Beginning today, I will start writing out 

the book of Romans.


Another tool, directly related to today’s verse, is “praying a song.”


Select a favorite hymn,gospel,or contemporary worship song.

Look up the words and read through them as a prayer. 

Write out the verse that really speaks to your heart.

Sing along to the song.

 Pay particular attention to the words.

Sing the words as a prayer to God.


One of my favorite song’s to pray is:

Shine on me.

Shine on me.

I wonder if the Lighthouse will shine on me.

Shine on me.

Shine on me.

Lord, I wonder if the Lighthouse will shine on me.


Sing your song.🎶

Pray your song.🎶

Share your song.🎶


God bless.

In Christ,

Sis. Stephanie

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
