My Prayer Time

I have felt compelled for some time to share my prayers and talks with God with others. That is what this blog is for, and I hope God belsses you with these words. Of course, I would love to hear from others as well.

Live At Peace

Hello all. I hope your day and your week have been blessed!

Something happened to me this morning...

I had just finished praying and reading a little in the Word of God when I decided to read a little further into the next chapter. It was Ephesians 4:1-3, which was a little different than what I was reading, but I did my best to take the passage to hart.

Then, I decided to read a daily devotional that I get emailed to me and the opening passage was "If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with every one."
(Romans 12:18, Amp). The whole devotional was about giving praise to God instead of criticizing other people.

Interesting… Both the topic of what I read and the topic of the devotional were on the same subject, so I decided to take this as a sign from God. I believed the Holy Spirit was trying to tell me something.

Actually, it didn’t take much for me to realize that God was showing me something because I have a bit of a problem with being a little harsh with my words. I know I have hurt people I care about with the things I’ve said. This cannot be and I am focusing on this and taking it seriously.

Here are a couple more passages of Scripture from my devotional: Ephesians 4:26-32, Ephesians 5:1-4

In Christ,
