Contemplating Life says ...
I have been young, and now am old;
Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken,
Nor his descendants begging bread.
He is ever merciful, and lends;
And his descendants are blessed..... .....Psalm 37:25-26
We must learn to regard people less in the light of what they do or
omit, and more in the light of what they suffer...... .......Dietrich
Bonhoeffer
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for helping us to bear the trials and
tribulations that we must endure while here on earth. When we became
believers, You did not promise that we would not go through valleys,
but You did however, promise that we would see them through. Help us
to do the same for one another. Let us not be judgmental when another
goes through a difficult time. Let us not say, "He deserves that."
nor "If only she would live right." nor "He brought that upon
himself." Let us not stand in judgment, but rather offer assistance
where we can. Feed and clothe the poor and hungry. Offer a shoulder
to cry on. Pray. Let them know that they are not alone in their
struggle. That God loves them and we love them. In Jesus most
precious name, I pray. Amen.

Therefore we also pray always for you that our God would count you
worthy of the calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His
goodness and the
work of faith with power....... ...2 Thessalonians 1:11
Your way of praying is good. Just be very faithful about staying near
God, gently and quietly attentive in your heart, sleeping in the arms
of Providence, peacefully accepting God's holy will; for all this
pleases God......... ..St. Francis de Sales
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for calling me worthy to be a child of Yours.
Although, I am undeserving of such honor, I am eternally grateful.
Now, I pray, that I grow in You, day by day, week by week. Help me
to become the best I can be in You. We all continue to be "works in
progress." And we are all at different stages in our walks with You,
but that doesn't make one greater than another. We all strive for the
same goal--to do what is right and good as Christ would do. Please
forgive us when we fail and act in less than a Christ-like manner. In
Jesus most precious name, I pray. Amen.

You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the
children of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as
yourself; I am the LORD........ Leviticus 19:18
Nothing I can do to punish another for hurting me brings me
healing....Jane Rubritta
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank Your for Your great love, mercy and forgiveness. I
pray that we extend that same love, mercy and forgiveness to one
another, even to those who have hurt or offended us. Nothing we can
do or say to another will alleviate the pain that they have caused
upon us. Only in learning to forgive them and love them in spite of
who they are and what they have done, will the healing process
begin. We need to learn that they will not change, but we must
change how we react to them. Help us to learn this and to put this
into practice in our daily walk with You. Only with You will we be
able to do this. In Jesus most precious name, we pray. Amen.

But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like
a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind........ .....James 1:6
Don't ever let anyone tell you that you can't do something. More
important, never tell yourself that........ ...Robin Roberts
Dear Heavenly Father,
I believe in You and Your existence, Dear Lord. I believe
in the virgin birth of my Lord, Jesus Christ. I believe in the pain
and suffering He endured for the salvation of my sins and the
ultimate price He paid on the cross. I believe in His resurrection
and the gift of eternal life that He has promised me. I believe in
the Holy Spirit and the strength I receive. There is no room for
doubting the existence of all this. I do, however, in my moments of
weakness, doubt my abilities to serve You as I should. But there
should be not doubts there either, for You have promised to carry me
through all things done in Your name and done for Your glory. When
others say "I can't believe that she thinks she can do that." All I
need to do is to turn do You for the confidence, wisdom, guidance and
direction that I need to succeed. In Jesus most precious name, I
pray. Amen.

My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials,
knowing that the testimony of your faith produces patience. But let
patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete
lacking nothing..... ..James 1:2-4
Bless the things that do not turn out right....... ....Nancy Wood
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for our trials and tribulations, for it is through
these things that we grow in our knowledge, faith and patience. We have
faith to believe that blessings will come of every suffering when
endured in the name of the Lord. I pray for those right now who are
enduring a pain, a suffering, a trial or a tribulation. I pray that
their faith remains grounded in You for You will see them through all
things. I pray that You will reveal the blessings that have come and
that are to come through their personal struggle. Yes, they will hurt
and they will suffer, but they will endure and be better because of it.
In Jesus most precious name, I pray. Amen.
