Rainbows and Rays of Sun

Let your light shine before others

Crying out to navigate the Loss – a prayer

September 15, 2020

Abba,

Thank you for being God. Thank you for caring for and watching over all of your children. Thank you for wanting to grow closer to us. Thank you for the promise that you have plans to prosper us.

Forgive me for not believing in that right now. Forgive me for not seeing this with a kingdom perspective. Forgive me for thinking you forgot about me. Forgive me for losing hope, trust, joy, and faith.

God I prayed and I called out to you. And you didn’t show up, at least not the way I thought I needed. I don’t understand. I am hurting. I need help. Help me to understand. Help me rest knowing full well that the plans you have for me are greater than this. This hurt, this heartache, this disappointment, this devastation. Remind me that you are close to the brokenhearted, Psalms 34:18. Allow me to feel your arms around me. Be my comforter and comfort me.

God like the father in Mark 9:24, I am crying out “I believe, help me overcome my unbelief.” I believe that you are for me, that you are good, and that you only give good gifts, but that belief has wavered a little. God help me overcome my wavering. God build my faith and help me grow closer to you through this trial. God I ask that you give me grace, which I know don’t deserve, give me peace that will pass all understanding, and give me contentment to be able to stand firm on the fact that if you don’t do another thing for me, that you have already done enough. God help me to shift my focus, help me not to ask why, but what and how. What should I learn from this? How can I see God in this? What is God revealing to me? How can I grow from this? Help me to shift to a kingdom perspective.

God I need you!

Heal my heart.

Restore my joy.

Renew my trust

Revive my hope.

Build my faith

God, it’s not fair, but you are still God. You are still good. You are still in control.

James 1:2 says to consider it pure joy when trials come. God, help me find the joy. Allow this to produce perseverance and help me grow.

God I am thanking you in advance because of this trial. Not because I’m healed, not because I’m whole, not because I have moved on from it, but because you are still God, you are still good, and you can use what the enemy meant for evil. God I still give you all the honor and all the glory.

In Jesus name, the one who lived on earth to experience all of the trials of this life, then went on to conquer death, hell and the grave. The one who died for my sins, who took up my cross, and who guaranteed my salvation.

Amen

    Your prayers are so honest, reflective and transparent. Thank you! It shows vulnerability and strength. It repents and asks for strength. He is near the broken-hearted and I definitely feel Him more in these moments. Continue this good work

MATCHING OUTFITS!!!! I have two little girls so MATCHING OUTFITS!!!! 

I have two little girls so matching outfits are not only absolutely adorable, but they also make life easier. I am currently out of town at a conference and they got to come with me! Dressing them in matching outfits, not only made packing easier, but I had to make fewer decisions about what they were going to wear and I could spot them easier when I had break from my conference and took them to the park. I had more in my mental tank for them, because I didn’t use it on random things during the day that have to get done, but don’t move the needle. #momhacks #momsofmargin #matchingoutfits 

Let me know your favorite place to get matching outfits and a mom hack that you have discovered that makes a huge difference for you.

Do you have an anchor verse? I thought I did unti Do you have an anchor verse?

I thought I did until I got called out into the deep and my anchor didn't hold. I spent months drifting before the storm lifted enough for me to get my bearings. I realized that my faith, built in the shallows, couldn't stand the rain. Now, I can see that I had to go to deep, deep waters for my faith to be strengthened and for that I needed a new anchor. 

Anchored in the shallows, called to the deep. 

No more "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay."

Mondays Don't Matter!!!! Nothing about this Monday Mondays Don't Matter!!!! Nothing about this Monday is magical or motivational by itself. 

You my friend are magical and the day of the week doesn’t matter. So, just get to work. Whatever you have been putting off until the perfect Monday just start, don't wait. Do it now! Think about what happens when today is gone and you still didn’t do it. No more excuses. Nothing magical is going to happen on today to motivate you just because it’s Monday. You need to find your own motivation. 

Procrastinators everywhere are united waiting on Monday. Don’t let procrastination win. Go in the strength have and figure it out along the way. 

God bless. Make this the best Monday ever.
