You are My Hope....Help Me to WAIT On You...

It has been a hard week for me. My family here is stuggling with financial woes due to the economy. Erik's computer broke down, so that we have not heard from him, and may not for a while. Last I heard he was sick with malaria. It is easier to cope with anxiety over my missionary family when we have some communication.
I find that when I'm anxious or concerned that I easily can get fearful if I don't choose to get into the Word.
Last week I shared praying the scriptures for my children, and I find that praying the scripture for myself, gives me comfort, reminds me who is in control, and allows me to walk in peace.

My Prayer: Lord, I know that my way is not hidden from you, and I know that though I'm not hearing from my children that their way is not hidden from you. I know that you are the everlasting God, the Lord, the creator of the ends of the earth, You neither faint nor grow weary, Your understanding is unscrutable. You, O God, give power to the weak and to those of us who have no might then you increase our strength.


Your Word, says that both young and old can be faint and weary, they can fall, and right now I am feeling very weary.


Help me Lord, to WAIT on you, because You say that You will renew my strength and I will mount up with wings of Eagles. Help me to run and not be weary, then I will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:27-31

Why are you so downcast oh my soul, and why am I so disturbed right now?
I choose to put my hope in You oh God, for I will yet praise You, my Saviour. Please..

Direct Your love toward me during the day, and let your song rest in my mind at night. Psalm 12:5,8

Help me to be strong and to take heart because my hope,(my expectations) are in You. Psalm 31:21


Strengthen my feeble hands and knees, Lord make me steady and devoted to prayer, I know that you hear my prayer and supplications, because You incline Your ear to me. Therefore I shall call upon Your name as long as I live. Psalm 116:1,2

Lord, You are my God, and I love You, You are my children's God and You love them. You are compassionate and You preserve the simple. You and You alone can save us.

Return to rest oh my soul, for the Lord has dealt bountifully with me. Ps. 116:5,7

Forever Oh Lord, Your word is settled in heaven, and Your faithfulness continues through all generations. Ps. 119:90

Yours O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty; indeed everything that is in the heaves and the earth; Yours is the dominion, O Lord, and You exalt Yourself as head over all.

Both riches and honor come from You, and You rule over all, and in Your hand is power and might; and it lies in Your hand to make great and to strengthen everyone.

Now therefore, My God, I thank You and praise Your glorious name. IChronicles 29:11-13

I love God's Word...

I brings me hope and comfort.

I heard from Erik not long after this was posted and he is feeling much better.
