Thanks guys for all of your prayers...I know it helped...
I received this in a daily devotion I subscribe to today about an hour after I posted my prayer request...
That evening his disciples went down to the shore to wait for
him. But as darkness fell and Jesus still hadn't come back,
they got into the boat and headed out across the lake toward
Capernaum. Soon a gale swept down upon them as they rowed,
and the sea grew very rough. They were three or four miles
out when suddenly they saw Jesus walking on the water toward
the boat. They were terrified, but he called out to them, "I
am here! Don't be afraid."
-- John 6:16-20 (NLT)
KEY THOUGHT:
Jesus' words to his terrified disciples were powerful: "I Am, do not
fear!" Built on his "I Am" statements throughout the Gospel of John,
this one shouldn't be underestimated. Jesus' words build upon the twin
concepts of the God of Israel who revealed himself as the great "I Am"
in Exodus and the God who rescues from the ocean deep in the Psalms. "I
am God with you; you don't need to be afraid! I can still the storm. I
can preserve and protect." Jesus comes to us in the middle of our
storms and says the same to us. Storms are inevitable. But rather than
taking cover in the storms of our lives, Jesus comes and meets us in
the middle of them so we don't have to be alone!
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Give me faith, O God, to believe that in the worst of my life's storms,
I can trust that you are there and that you will ransom me home. Thank
you for the assurance that you will never leave me or forsake me. In
Jesus' name. Amen.
...has anyone ever had a time in their lives when you feel like every prayer you say is being answered and you SEE it being answered.Or feel like God is truly talking to YOU,just you,and you can really hear him? Well,I am,and I love it.I don't ever want it to go away. Thankyou for your thoughts and prayers...love and godbless you all...
Living for Him and praising His name
