I BELIEVE GOD
What a day, I would be happy if I never have to endure 24 hours like that again. Thank you for your prayers, I’m still alive.
I went to the park to pray last night and I really sensed an anointing of His presence as we walked and talked. God reminded me of a portion of scripture in Acts 27 and if you’re like me and like boats, it’s a cracker story. The Apostle Paul is on a ship in a storm, this is no ordinary storm as verse 27 tells us it was the fourteenth day of it. Everyone is panicking and Paul calls them in verse 22 to “take courage”. He has had an encounter with God who had told him all would be saved. Then he makes this powerful statement, verse 25 “so take courage for I BELIEVE GOD”. I love that and what’s more folks, I BELIEVE GOD. There is a way through this and according to His Word which never fails, “He is able to do exceedingly abundantly more than I ask or think (WHY) according to the Power that works in us” Ephesians 3:20. That power is beyond our wildest dream; it’s the Holy Spirit of God.
I haven’t a clue what’s going on, I don’t understand it BUT I BELIEVE GOD.
I’m off today so I’m heading to the mountains.
Love yas.

Hey Philip... I was driving to work this morning and praying for you as I always do, and I couldn't stop crying, the thought of your pain was so unbearable and I was wondering how you could possible bear it. And I was listening to Kathryn Scott singing 'Ashes To Beauty' and the first line says 'At the foot of the cross, Where grace and suffering meet...', so it dawned on me that that's where you stay, at the foot of the cross, and that's where God gives you the grace to make it through each day as it arrives. I'm praying that your ashes of grief will be turned to beauty...
Love you. J
Phil, I'm not so good with the words but I love to pray. It's pretty late and so I am praying right now for God to really lead you into deep sleep and rest. I'm sure your soul is exhausted off all it's energy and life, so as you sleep I am praying for renewal and recreation.
You have filled my heart with greater joy than when their grain and new wine abound. I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety. (Psalm 4, 7&8)
Steve
