Words to live by
My righteousness comes from God, making me bullet-proof!
I see things others don't, assuring me of God's presence in me!
My words are inspired by the Holy Spirit, suitable for praying and encouraging!
Psalm 27:1 (MSG)"Light, space, zest—that’s God!So, with him on my side I’m fearless,afraid of no one and nothing."

not praying
Clearly, there’s a lot of confusion
surrounding prayer. But if you truly want to be free from anxiety, you
need to know how prayer really works! It’s not a magic bullet or an
instant fix. It’s an anchor. Prayer is a conversation with God, one in
which you recognize that God is bigger than all your problems.
Just like conversation is an anchor in a relationship. Sin is separation from God. Could it be that not praying is sin? It certainly separates us from God, just like not speaking to a spouse or friend puts distance in those relationships.

reality-shaping words
God speaks reality-shaping
words. Jesus is God. He spoke the words that created the cosmos and he
spoke the words that give me meaning and purpose. Words like: whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life
whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst
I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly
And I give unto them eternal life
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me
seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it
Jesus, your words are promises - conditional prophecies that I must choose. Help me to choose them today.

Jesus Is What Jesus Does
I am a human being, flawed and foolish, yet I am a spiritual being
with the opportunity to become perfect through the blood of Jesus. If I
am to be judged by what I do, I am damned. Every human sits in the same
situation - except one.
Jesus lived a perfect human life, so we can truly say, Jesus is what Jesus does. Every action purposeful and obedient to our Father.
With that belief firmly established, I can go on to relish my relationship with the king and shepherd who gave up power and authority in death so we could be pals. Thanks, Pal.

A poem about indifference
Why should I care
When no one's there
No secrets to share
Or soul to bare
Why should I care
If you know where
I hide my flair
It's not over there
If I don't give a whit
About all of it
And never profit
Or left my comfort
Faith cares about my future and my part of today
Hope cares for others and shares its branches
Love cares for all, covers all.

Or left my comfort
Faith cares about my future and my part of today
Hope cares for others and shares its branches
Love cares for all, covers all.
Take the land, preach the gospel
Joshua, helping Moses, watched the work -
Miracles, helping Hebrews, by God's own word.
Yahweh's word, when Moses'd died, "Take up the work."
Joshua heard, 'couraged by God, did not shirk
Yahweh's word, "Clean out the whole land."
Don't worry, I'll be with you, win by my hand
Just TRUST AND OBEY
Jesus Christ, born a savior, had seen the work-
Unfinished, a heart issue, missing the mark.
The time came, when Jesus died, he finished the work
Jesus,Son, one with Father, did not shirk
Jesus said, take my word, to every corner of the land
Don't worry, my Spirit's with you, trust the plan
TRUST AND OBEY, FOR THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO BE HAPPY IN JESUS THAN TO TRUST AND OBEY (Sammis, 1887)

BS/AS
Before sin, I was oblivious of God's grace
After sin, I craved it and found grace precious
Before sin, I was doing well (in my own ways)
After sin, I was at the bottom of a dry well
Before sin, my struggles seemed superficial
After sin, my life was on the line
Jesus, I have never been in the state of not sinning, but I pretend that I am good to go when in reality I need you and your mercy every second of every day. And when I purposefully sin against you, doing what I know is wrong, I am risking my life. I know and acknowledge it afterwards, but not before. Give me the proper perspective:
Before sin, you are ever present and available
During sin, I turn my back on you.
Before sin, your grace is sufficient
During sin, your grace is disregarded and trampled under foot
Before sin, there is always a way out
During sin, my flesh wins out
