Trying not to be an April fool!



"Pray continually."
1 Thessalonians 5:17


"In all your ways submit to him,
 and he will make your paths straight."
Proverbs 3:6


Today's verses are short and sweet.  I'm happy today that Our Father gave us a life manual!  Praying for you today, and I would love for you to share your prayer requests with us.  That way, we can all pray continually for each other!

Until next time...

Blessings!

Then she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, “You are God Who Sees”; for she said, “Have I not even here [in the wilderness] remained alive after seeing Him [who sees me with understanding and compassion]?”  Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi (Well of the Living One Who Sees Me); it is between Kadesh and Bered.
Genesis 16:13-14


On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!”
John 20:19

"Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful."
Colossians 3:15



Today's devo truly hit home, especially the part about anxious thoughts.  Storms are in the forecast, and I'm praying for nothing severe.  There are far too many trees around here leaning at precarious angles all over the neighborhood!  I love the last line from the lesson:

"Draw near to Me; receive My peace."



Thanks for your prayers!  Do you have any prayer requests today?


Until next time...

Blessings!

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart
    and lean not on your own understanding..."
Proverbs 3:5


"The eternal God is your refuge,
    and underneath are the everlasting arms.
He will drive out your enemies before you,
    saying, ‘Destroy them!’ "
Deuteronomy 33:27


You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.  I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back from captivity.  I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.”
Jeremiah 29:13-14



Favorite quote from today's devo:

Search for Me as for hidden treasure.  I will be found by you.

I can't think of a better week for a treasure hunt seeking Jesus, can you?


Until next time...

Blessings!

Friends, I hope you are having a blessed Holy Week so far!


“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
John 16:33


Our circumstances are forcing me to "accept the limitations of living one day at a time."  

I want to ask for you to continue to pray for Shelley and our neighbors who lost their homes or have damage.  The tornado has not only impacted her emotionally, she is now behind in school because we went three days without power or Internet.  She is really struggling right now.  Thanks so much!

Do you have any prayer requests?


Until next time...

Blessings!
