Helpful Prayer

Billy had been misbehaving and was sent to his room. After a while he emerged and informed his mother that he had thought it over and then said a prayer. “Fine”, said the pleased mother. “If you ask God to help you not misbehave, He will help you.” “Oh, I didn’t ask Him to help me not misbehave,” said Johnny. “I asked Him to help you put up with me.”

Politically correct ways to say someone is stupid (not so intelligent):

  • A few fries short of a Happy Meal.
  • A few clowns short of a circus.
  • His antenna doesn’t pick up all the channels.
  • His belt doesn’t go through all the loops.
  • One Fruit Loop shy of a full bowl.
  • One taco short of a combination plate.

*** Tidbit  2   Trusting the Lord

 “You may trust the Lord too little, but you can never trust Him too much.”
                                                                                               ~Anonymous

As born-again believers we are called to trust God. Sometimes it’s easier said than done. It’s especially hard when things don’t seem to work out the way we think they should. Are you feeling anxious, worried, and/or depressed? Are you going through a negative situation and you doubt that God will come through? Maybe you believe He can come through but, will He come through for you? Maybe you’re thinking that He needs your help, and you can come up with a solution that is better than His. The bottom line is that you don’t trust Him. I think we’ve all been there. It started with Adam and Eve. Read the 3rd chapter of Genesis in the Bible. They doubted God and took matters into their own hands, and look at the results.

Trusting God is an act and a process. The following are tips for trusting Him in every area of life.

  1. Get to know Him. The more we get to know Him (by praying and talking to Him throughout the day) & the more we learn more about Him (by reading the Bible) the easier it will be to trust Him.
  2. Believe. Believing increases our trust in God. Believe that He is who He says He is and that He will do what He says He will do. He cannot fail.
  3. Remember the past. We all have testimonies of how we trusted God on some issue and how He came through for us. This causes our confidence to grow. If He did it before, He can do it again.
  4. Meditate on how He feels about you. He loves you (John 3:16, Zephaniah 3:17) and wants the very best for you (Jeremiah 29:11).

So, the next time something goes wrong, you find yourself filled with fear and anxiety or if you are uncertain about what the future holds, try these 4 tips. Take some deep breaths; know that Daddy God has this, and all you need to do is simply trust Him.

Trusting Jesus

Author – Edgar Page Sites, 1836-1921          Composer – Ira D. Sankey, 1840-1908

1. Simply trusting every day, Trusting through a stormy way; even when my faith is small, Trusting Jesus that is all

Refrain:
Trusting as the moments fly, Trusting as the days go by; Trusting Him whate’er befall, Trusting Jesus, that is all.

2. Brightly doth His Spirit shine into this poor heart of mine; While He leads I cannot fall; Trusting Jesus, that is all.

3. Singing if my way is clear, praying if the path be drear; if in danger for Him call; Trusting Jesus that is all.

4. Trusting Him while life shall last, Trusting Him till earth be past; Till within the jasper wall, Trusting Jesus, that is all.

*** Tidbit  3   Cayenne Pepper

Cayenne pepper (fresh, dried and powdered) has impressive health benefits. The pepper’s active ingredient, capsaicin, is valued for its therapeutic effects. Here are 10 reasons to include cayenne pepper in your diet.
  1. May improve digestion.
  2. May lower blood pressure.
  3. May help relieve pain.
  4. May protect your heart against inflammation.
  5. May improve Psoriasis.
  6. May reduce cancer risk.
  7. May provide detox support.
  8. May boost your metabolism.
  9. May prevent allergies and clear congestion.
  10. Is easy to include in your diet because of the many ways it can be consumed.

There are simple ways to take advantage of the awesome benefits of cayenne pepper:

  • Add it to meals.
  • Take it in capsule form.
  • Mix the powder with water and lemon as a detox drink.
  • Apply it topically. There are creams available to treat skin infections, sore muscles and tension.

Cayenne pepper powder lasts between 3-4 years. You can tell it has gone bad when it loses its flavor. Red-colored spices should always be stored in the fridge. Remember that it adds heat and can be too much for people who are spice-sensitive.

The information that I have shared with you is intended for informational purposes only.

Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior?  If not, what are you waiting on? In crazy times like these, we need a Savior. If you have already accepted Him, He wants you to get to know Him even better.

Thanks for stopping by.  Hope you were blessed.
