Thoughts Of The Day 3-26-09

My Sunday School teacher always gives me a Bible verse that is fitting for any given situation. This morning I was looking at one of my favorite websites, God's Yellow Pages, and found some really good verses that seem to fit with my life right now.

Under the heading of COURAGE:

Psalm 27:14
Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.

Under the heading ANXIOUS:

Philippians 4:6
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

Under the heading NEEDING GUIDANCE:

Psalm 32:8
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you.

Under the heading SICK-IN PAIN:

2 Corinthians 12:9-10
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Under the heading PRAYERFUL:

1 John 5:14-15
This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.

And finally ... Under the heading FORGIVENESS:

Mark 11:25-26
And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins."

Forgiveness is a hard thing sometimes, but we must learn to forgive in order to be forgiven ... I'm really trying.

I am definitely in prayer about a lot of things. I know I need God to do some work on me, and I know I need God to get me through some things that are going on. I just have to learn to be patient, which is the hardest part.

Have a great, glorious, and blessed day!
