Christian WordPress: My Shephard – Psalms 23

Kim Beasley — Mon, 06 Aug 2007 07:15:39 +0000

When I make the Lord my Shepherd,
He leaves nothing more to want.

He leads me out of my wilderness
To a place where I can feed and rest.

He calms the storms within
And heals my wounded heart.

When choosing to follow His instruction,
I stop trying to sit on His throne.

Then, I can walk through the storm
Knowing evil can’t touch me.

His presence becomes so real
All else is barely noticed.

He directs my every step
So all landmines are missed.

His Spirit swells up within me,
My heart overflows with joy …

And the love of God
Begins to exude through me.

It is then that I truly
Dwell in the Lord’s House.

And now, I can’t imagine having
Chosen to live any other way.

Christian WordPress: Quotes – Prayer

“Prayer is reaching out after the unseen; fasting is letting go of all that is seen and temporal. Fasting helps express, deepen, confirm the resolution that we are ready to sacrifice anything, even ourselves to attain what we seek for the kingdom of God.”

~Andrew Murray

—————

Using prayer as a tool to benefit the kingdom of God is an awesome goal in life. When I’m faced with life challenges, I have found more peace in turning to God through prayer. Recently, I was faced with a business challenge where I had to decide if I would expand my business with an internship program or not. After much prayer, God not only gave me a green light to do it, but he gave me instructions on how to conduct the program and who should be included in the program.

What areas in your life is God challenging you to turn to Him in prayer? Have you been playing dodge-ball with your prayer time? Then I want to challenge you to take the next seven days and try to allot at least 5-10 minutes per day to spend in prayer. Start off small and then increase the time when you feel comfortable increasing it. Please feel free to return to this post and share your experiences with prayer and how God used it to challenge you to grow.

I mourn along with everyone at the loss of a great warrior for Christ, Yolanda King. She was the oldest child of Dr. Martin & Mrs. Coretta King. While she chose to follow in the footsteps of her father, she ministered to many and challenged those who listen to her message to change for Christ.

Join me in keeping the Yolanda King family and friends in prayer.
