Tossing at night

Leap of faith

Why do we have issues with sleeping when our mind is too busy?

I was tossing for a short time last night and then started praying. God reminded me of a song my daughter sent to me a few months back by Delirious- Every Little Thing. Listen here Delirious?

This immediately relaxed me and made me grateful that we have a God who cares about all the little details of our lives.

Surrender

Psalm 43: 5

5 Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you in turmoil within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my salvation and my God.

Take the leap of faith and remember greater things are still ahead. – Teresa

Praise for our deliverer

Whether real or imagined, our fears bring us to the feet of the Father and He hears our praise of Him…there is no ONE like you, Lord!
When you feel alone or abandoned, remember that He will richly give you all things, just be sure to ask!!

Psalm 34:1-10 (ESV)

1 I will bless the Lord at all times;
his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul makes its boast in the Lord;
let the humble hear and be glad.
3 Oh, magnify the Lord with me,
and let us exalt his name together!
4 I sought the Lord, and he answered me
and delivered me from all my fears.
5 Those who look to him are radiant,
and their faces shall never be ashamed.
6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him
and saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the Lord encamps
around those who fear him, and delivers them.
8 Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!
Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!
9 Oh, fear the Lord, you his saints,
for those who fear him have no lack!
10 The young lions suffer want and hunger;
but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.

When we have a chance to take good care of those entrusted to our spiritual care, God is praised. We may need to provide physically but be certain not to forget the spiritual component. When the Son of Man returns, will he find faith on the earth?

# Luke 18:8

Matthew 24: 45-51 (ESV) 45 “Who then is the faithful and wise servant,[b] whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time? 46 Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. 47 Truly, I say to you, he will set him over all his possessions. 48 But if that wicked servant says to himself, ‘My master is delayed,’ 49 and begins to beat his fellow servants[c] and eats and drinks with drunkards, 50 the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know 51 and will cut him in pieces and put him with the hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
