Dear so
I think that we all need to take some time , each day , and just meditate on the love of God . Believe me , I know how hard it can be sometimes , to get into Gods presence and allow ourselves to simply rest in the fact that He loves us , especially when we haven't had a good day , or a good week, or maybe even a good year . When we are feeling bad about ourselves for whatever reason , it becomes too easy to isolate ourselves from the Presence of God . I guess the thing that has been the hardest for me to realize , is that no matter what is going on in my life , God wants to spend time with me . I can pray for peace and go about my day . I can get on my knees for five minutes in the morning and ask God for favor and protection , and then walk away and not even think about those five minutes . But I know it hurts the Heart of God when we only acknowledge him for a few seconds a day , and then go about our daily lives , feeling lonely and wondering what we can do stop this bleeding on the inside of us . God is saying , ' Come unto me , All you who labor , and are heavy laden , and I will give you rest ' . God wants to spend time with ME . My broken , dirty , fall flat on my face self that couldn't earn my way to Heaven if I had 3 lifetimes to try . If not for the Grace of God I shutter to think where I would be today . But yet , He still wants my company . I guess what I am saying is , that no matter what you are going through , you can come boldly into His presence , His smile will greet you there , and His arms will fold themselves around you with a love that is deeper than your ability to measure . He loves you . No, problems and situations won't go away overnight , but He will give you the Grace to get through them. ' Oh what manner of Love , the Father has bestowed upon us , the we should be called , the children of God ' . Father in the Name of Jesus we come into your Presence , and Lord we thank you that you are a Good God . That you love us so deeply and without condition Lord. Father we know that you are a God of restoration . Father everything that the enemy has purposed to destroy in our lives , you will rebuild . Lord we stand with our sister tonight as she is going through struggles and trials in her life . We bind every attempt of the adversary to pull her out of your Presence , and we speak the Blood of Jesus over her life . Cover her , protect her, annoint her Lord God . Give her peace in the Holy Ghost. We ask this in Jesus Mighty Name . Amen
