Wednesday's Walk~~~A Life of Peace



For Wednesday's Walk today I thought I would just share how the Lord brought me peace through prayer this week. I don't know about you, but when someone I love is facing a trial I always seem to carry their burden around with me. I sometimes let it weigh me down....but eventually I see the need to pray about it...and to ask others to pray.

You would think that I would learn to go to God first...but that is not always the case. I "feel" first...feel the fear, feel the "what ifs?"...feel the panic, and then feel my in-adequateness...and then I usually run to God...into His waiting open arms.

God is so faithful...and He gives us grace...and His grace is sufficient. He will give us peace when we take our concerns to Him. And this week He gave me peace after I went to Him in prayer...and after I asked people to pray with me. I am so thankful for all of those who prayed for me and with me. The situation hasn't been remedied...yet, but God brought peace to me anyway.

Charles Stanley's short devotion today paints a vivid picture of how God is our refuge in the storms of life. It really spoke to me, along with the Bible passages he used. If you need refuge today, and if you need peace in your life, please click on Charles Stanley Devotion below.

Prayer Request !








Prayer Changes Things...So Please Pray!

This is my 15 year old grandson William. I love him with all my heart, and I would like to ask my Christian blog friends to pray for him. He is facing something very hard this week and it could affect his life in a big way. It is something my grandma heart is carrying around, and I am just trying to give it all to the Lord. I could sure use some help from some of you, and I would appreciate it very much if you would lift William, his Mom...and the rest of us up in prayer. His folks are divorced, so will you please pray for his dad too? We all need to be there for our William. Life is hard for kids these days. Hard for adults too. God is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think. Please pray that God will work things together for William's good...and God's glory. Although it is an unspoken request...I know that God can still work through the prayers of His people.

Thank you so much!
