Rest

- JaclynPalmer Leave a comment

(5/8/19)

Dad, rest means so many different things, but today the rest I crave is for my eyeballs. My goodness, these little things are just so tired! My brain feels a hundred steps behind. My body wants to stop and lie down right where it is, no matter where “it is” may be. Amazing, Lord, what happens to my entire system when I lack sleep.

I suppose this is why you set the example of a day’s work and a full day to rest. I suppose, also, this is why you designed the need to sleep. I’m so glad you did. I love sleep. I love sleep a lot:) …And there goes my brain, 101 steps behind…

Father, thank you for understanding my emptiness when I’m sleepy. Thank you for not requiring your children to function on each other’s schedules or convictions or (and especially) brain functions! 🙂

I love you, and I am truly enjoying walking snail speed with you today.

xoxo

Circle of Prayer (4/30/19)

Oh, Father Above! How great is your name and of great power! How magnificently you created all things and called all things Good! Lord, your creation brings you joy and gladness! Thank you for finding joy and gladness in us, your Day 6 creation!

Father, united in prayer, a circle of friends knit these words together for one creation specifically. I pray that you will heap these words into your cup and pour them out upon this mother and upon all mothers of the unborn. Father, creator and giver of life, I pray You will cast the heartache of abortion into the pit of hell. Free this world, this country, this city, this heart from the entanglement of this most dreadful lie.

This is our Circle of Prayer.

Oh, Dear Lord, please change ____________’s heart today! Intervene in a miraculous way! Dear Lord, bring words of life and dispel any fears that she may have. Have friends speak life and hope to her. Please protect this life and pour out your Holy Spirit! We are beseeching you for a miracle! Father, we pray hope for _________! And a supernatural sense of peace that can only come from You! Open her eyes and heart to the precious life growing inside her! Please, Jesus, move mountains in this situation! Show ____________ her options besides termination. Please sustain this life, in Jesus’ name! Lord, how I pray that this thread of prayer will pour from Your Hands upon ____________’s mind and upon ______________’s heart and into the life of this unborn child! Knit, I pray, these prayers together for your glory in the Name of Jesus Christ!!

Together we say, Amen and Amen!!

God Has Given Life

How hard is it to accept that God has given life? Think about it. At initial response, I believe we would all shout a hallelujah to the King of kings especially on this Easter weekend.

~Pause at that statement for just a moment. Allow your heart to skip a beat for the King of kings. Breathe it in! The King of kings came for me, oh, how spoiled am I to be loved by the King of kings. Pause. Breathe. Repeat!~

Yes, the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world, and through this very act, Eternal Life is freely upon us. Ohmygosh, that rings forth a hallelujah from each of my bones!!

I think we tend to separate Eternal Life from temporal life. I also think this mindset of separating Life from life limits God’s gift, Jesus’ love, and the Holy Spirit’s Presence. What do you think?

Here’s the deal, how thankful are we when the mountain terrain shifts to a valley landscape? I know that’s cliche, but it is biblical. Also, we all know it’s true.

We know life roams from a mountain to a valley, because we are all roaming the mountainside. Right?! Our paths may be different, sometimes straight up opposite, yet each path is a gift of LIFE.

Life worth living.

Life worth living intentionally for eternity!

Life is today. Life was yesterday. How was your yesterday? My yesterday was amazing! Last Thursday, eh, not so much! Like, not so much at all. Basically, I filled a barrel full of tears on my path of ‘waiting’.

Here’s the beautiful truth, I filled my barrel at a table among three friends. Each of these friends being on their own path of life. Yet, when I cried in my wait they sat with me.

Then, knit together in the Gift of Life (Eternal), we kept on trekking in the gift of life (temporal).

Yes, the Gift of Eternal Life is breathtaking, but the gift of life is a beautiful journey! Not because each situation is beautiful (Lord, help us as that pendulum flys!), but because Jesus!

His gift of Life does not start and stop at the Cross. It’s yesterday and it’s today and it’s forever!

Live Intentionally For Eternity!

Friend, that’s the fullness of the gift of Life/life given to You by the King of kings!

Absolutely amazing!

Accept It ~ Heart

Own It ~ Mind
