Author: Gods Greatness And Compassion

God has done great things for me. He's shown enormous compassion in my life. I want to thank and praise Him with this site

Healing

I feel fine, as well as can be
But that wasn’t always the case with me
I remember praying day and evening
For the Lord to bless me with His healing
Singing the words of Jerimiah 17:14

Doctors had said they couldn’t help me
That was news I couldn’t believe
No medicine, procedure, or surgery
Existed that could help me

This happened a few years ago
Today I happened to take a few minutes to give God thanks
I must admit I don’t pray as hard as I used to pray
But I never want to forget
What a merciful healing miracle for me He did
I couldn’t afford to leave work on disability
I begged that God miraculously heal me

Lord, I pause today to say thanks
And please extend your healing powers to others today
Who are not well or are in pain
What doctors and medicine can’t do
Can still be healed by You.

Worrying

After the heated exchange
I worried if a positive relationship would remain
During the weekend, did no fun things
Just spent time worrying

Never mind Jesus said don’t worry (Matthew 6:34)
Didn’t think about how the Lord would fight for me
And that I should hold my peace (Exodus 14:14)
I just built anxiety on what happens Monday morning

So, Monday comes and before I confronted the situation
To my surprise it confronts me
With nothing but being warm and friendly
What a waste of time I spent with worries

Lesson learned, don’t just hear the word of God
Live it in your heart
Trust that you can cast your burdens upon Him (Psalm 55:22)
So, no need to spend time worrying
Thank you Lord for reminding me
About wasting time with needless worrying.

God’s Work or My Work

Been so busy doing my day job
Worrying about how co-workers will respond
Resisting the urge to check email on my private time
It’s been hard to relax and unwind
And fast has gone the time

So fast that Sunday is hours away
And I have prepared nothing for God’s day
I should adhere to Matthew 6:33
Shouldn’t go into Sunday empty
Working for God is more important than working for me
After all, He makes my day job a possibility.

And once I made that shift
I could feel the anxiety lift
Lord, thanks for reminding me
To make your work a priority
