Sometimes
just sitting quietly and listening is enough. That small voice that we hear
inside, the one that we too often discount or lend no credence to is where we
hear from God. It is good to lend an ear to that voice when we know that we are
a child of God.
While
singing and praising this week, I was struck silent. Suddenly words began to
flow through that voice, and I was directed to begin writing. I really believed
that these words were intended to minister to my needs at that time, but as I
began to hear some of the prayers that were being offered up for our community,
state and nation, I realized that these were for all of us.
I
wrote the words as they were given to me, and, as directed, shared them with our
church family at the CrossRoad's House of Prayer. I
am now led to share them with whoever comes across this page:
I give you strength;
I give you courage;
I give you peace;
I give you the tools
to defeat your enemy,
who wishes to destroy you,
the devil who attacks you.
Come to me, I will give you
all you need to be victorious!
I am one breath after another.
I am the life in your veins.
I am your greatest ally,
your most faithful friend.
Seek Me!
I am always here with you.
I AM your God!
