IN HIS PRESENCE: A Motivation to Keep Praying!

When all around me is in total chaos and fearful thoughts betray the faith that I know I have in God;  I can think of only one place to run and find sweet relief...In His Presence! 

My Sisters, have you been there?  Overwhelmed, discouraged, and confused. Tired of praying to God for a change in your circumstances but seeing none. Tired of the one-sided sacrifice.  Tired of the endless days of joylessness!  Tired of the preaching.  Tired of the same old platitudes of well meaning Saints who assure you that, weeping endures only for a night.....But never telling you how to make it through that ONE night!!   JUST PLAIN TIRED AND READY TO GIVE UP!  

Do me a favor...before you throw in the proverbial towel, find a quiet place, take 10 deep breaths, clear your mind, click the arrow on the video above, listen with your heart to this short song by Sandy Patti. (If you have trouble activating the video, paste this link into your browser:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKbCJJ3fcE0 )

Afterwards, pray a fresh prayer of surrender...placing all your concerns in God's capable hands.  Reinforce your thoughts with the promises He gives in His word...read one of the  passages below each day.  REFOCUS, REFLECT, REPOSITION YOURSELF....In the Presence of Your Heavenly Father!!

IN HIS PRESENCE THERE IS.....
