Do you dare to ask?

When was the last time you asked God to do something impossible, something out of the ordinary? I believe that one reason we don’t see God do great things is because we only ask Him for small things. Most people pray over their food, pray for protection, or pray for wisdom. That’s all good, but don’t limit what God can do. There should be something you’re praying about, something that you’re asking for that is beyond you, something that you can’t accomplish in your own strength. Do you dare to ask?

Your dreams may look impossible. You don’t have the funding or the connections, but God is saying,

“I dare you to ask Me to bring it to pass. I dare you to ask Me to show you a flood of My favor.”

My Prayer

Dear God,

There is nothing like the feeling of being loved!

You created us to love and be loved.

I thank you for all the love you have given me and shown me throughout all my days.

Thank you for all the special touches and blessings that let me know you care about even the smallest details of my life and that you love me no matter what.

Thank you for friends who are there for me…

and that I can be there for…through the seasons of life.

Thank you for the love of parents and children and extended family.

I am grateful for the love in my life.

I pray that every person will experience love…especially your unending

. . . . . far-reaching

. . . . . peace-bringing

. . . . . merciful

. . . . . and unconditional love.

This I  pray and offer my whole-hearted love and thankfulness.

Amen.

‘Live each day as if it’s your last’

‘Live each day as if it’s your last’, that was the conventional advice, but really, who had the energy for that? What if it rained or you felt a bit glandy? It just wasn’t practical. Better by far to simply try and be good and courageous and bold and to make a difference. Not change the world exactly but the bit around you. Go out there with your passion. Work hard at something. Change lives through art maybe. Cherish your friends, stay true to your principles, live passionately and fully well. Experience new things. Love and be loved, if you ever get the chance.

Today is Good Friday

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,

that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”

Maundy Thursday

We adore You Oh Lord and we thank You…

Because by Your Holy Cross You have redeemed the world…

Rewards

The important thing is not to be bitter over life’s difficulties.

Learn to let go of the past and recognize that everyday won’t be sunny.

And if you find yourself lost in darkness and despair,

remember – it is only in the black of the night that you can see the stars

and those stars will lead you back home.

So don’t be afraid to make mistakes, to stumble, to fall.

Because most of the time,

the greatest rewards come from doing things that scares you the most.
