Oh, you of little faith,
let not your fear betray
the power God’s given
to stay afloat today.
Oh, you of little trust,
don’t let doubt enter in
keep your eyes on Jesus
not on the raging wind.
Oh, you of little peace,
be not troubled or afraid
cast off your anxious view
and be you not dismayed.
Oh, you of little hope,
He will not let you sink
let your mind reflect on Him
in everything you think.
Oh, you of little faith,
Jesus will save you . . .
take a hold of His hand
and you He will rescue!
~~~~~~~
“But when he saw the wind boisterous,
he was afraid; and beginning to sink,
he cried, saying, Lord, save me.”
And immediately Jesus stretched
forth his hand, and caught him,
and said unto him, O thou of little faith,
wherefore didst thou doubt?

That’s a wonderful gift–my other sister-friend Deb, in IL, is like that: childlike-simple and trusting. I’m getting there, but a whole lot of bad teaching and experiences are still being scrubbed away–thank the LORD!

I will pray that all that bad teaching be removed 🙏 I too had bad teaching and had to find my way. It was quite a journey but so worth it!

The preacher who helped me most, and continues to help me heal, is Joseph Prince, Senior Pastor of New Creation Church in Singapore. The revelation God gave him hears ago was to preach God’s Grace. I have a number of his books, and am currently reading a devotional based on his book, The Power of Right Believing. It is sooo GOOD–He always leads us to JESUS! It has made all the difference in my life and faith–freedom.

I remember when you were Caddo . . . telling me you were praying to be filled by the Holy Spirit and how God used Prince to helped you through his messages on grace!

Wow…you’re scaring me with that high-power memory of yours, haha! Just so you know, I did get filled with the Holy Spirit, yay–and Joseph Prince is still feeding me wonderful grace messages each week. God bless you, Sister!

Thank you for your prayers. I know what you mean about being overwhelmed. I get up early so I can work on my blog each morning. But this morning I was on the phone for three hours! I will have to share what my family is dealing with right now. So I am playing late morning catch up and I think it is the “up” that I am “catching” because I am ready to give up 🙂

No worries, my weeks are almost impossibly crazy for the rest of this month–which explains me not being over for all your posts. I didn’t want you to feel neglected…because that’s not my intent. Bless you BIG, and we’ll connect when things return to some degree of normal sanity😉
