David's Prayer of Praise ~ Then David praised the Lord ..."O Lord, the God of our ancestor Israel, may you be praised forever & ever! Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory & the majesty....Wealth & honor come from you alone, for you rule over everything. Power & might are in your hand & at your discretion people are made great & given strength....But who am I & who are my people, that we could give anything to you? Everything we have has come from you & we give you only what you first gave us! We are here for only a moment, visitors & strangers in the land as our ancestors were before us. Our days on earth are like a passing shadow, gone so soon without a trace."

I highlight this passage because it reminds me to be grateful & humble knowing that we are all children of God, equal in His sight. And it reminds me to be grateful for all that God has given & done for me instead of grumbling about that which is going badly & not having everything I want. How many times has God spared my life without me having even so much a clue about it!? What can I offer in thanks to God? All of what was first given to me - my life - of course the good parts & yes, I've handed over the bad & ugly parts too. I am an ongoing work in progress being ever-renewed & reformed by Christ.

I acknowledge & am grateful for the privilege of receiving a positive reflection of Christ at an early age. Although I wandered away for quite some time, Christ never left me! I pray dear Lord for all those who have been hurt by people reflecting Christ poorly. Please touch, heal & soften their hearts to you Heavenly Father & correct those who are preaching in your name in ways that are harmful.

I pray dear God that those coming to Christ receive mature, loving support through difficult times, such as when pleading for circumstances to improve & yet they do not. Lord help us be patient & trust that just as we often can not make the problems of our own children go away, you also do not always free us from sorrows & obstacles, often for reasons beyond our understanding. Your grace alone is sufficient. In Jesus name, amen!

    God's Way...

    I am writing this blog to highlight Bible verses that I experience as especially healing and relevant for daily guidance. My journeys in life have been truly amazing. Chronic illness with ME/CFS, as difficult as it is, continues to take me wild and loving places for healing. 
     
    The illness flare up I experienced from 2019-2021 has lead me to stop working as a RMT, coach & tutor to focus on my own rehabilitation. While much of my identity & purpose,  wrapped up in work I absolutely love, is unraveling, I am becoming more clear this change is God’s Way of strongly nudging me yet again into a new creation & phase of alignment. Contending with an illness such as ME/CFS that currently has no treatment, strikingly reveals to me how precious energy is. Every bit of energy we are given is divine, coming directly from God who holds the reins, guiding each of us to use our energy wisely. Imagine holding the reins of nearly 8 billion free-willed humans!
     
    From necessity, curiosity and love, I'm orienting my energy to honor God by reading the Bible daily and listening carefully with all my senses. Being a Christian for nearly forty years, the Bible has always been special & important to me, but since 2020, the passages feel even more alive & meaningful - the Living Word of God truly is medicine when one's heart is open to it. Thank God, amen!
