Thank you Lord for the blessings

[missflip1975]

Just when things in life feel like they will never get better...the Lord blesses me and my family. I try not to get discouraged, but I do, and I know that is the devil working on me. But I thank the Lord for my parents, the prayers they continue to say for me, and the help they give my family. Today (4/16/08,) I was at my wits end with something...I was praying to God for some help, and something told me to call my mom. I talked to her, told her what was going on and she told me she'd call me back. While I was waiting for her to call, I opened up a little book that she passed on to me called "Starting Your Day Right" by Joyce Meyer. It has a scripture and a passage that you read every morning, and although I had read it already, someone (the Lord, I am sure) told me to go to January 2nd's page, and here is what it says:

"GET UP AND GET GOING"

I am weary with all my groaning; all night I soak my pillow with tears, I drench my couch with my weeping...Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping. Psalm 6:6, 8

Even before we are totally awake, Satan is bidding to decieve us and is ready to plant defeating thoughts in our mind. He wants us to be hopeless, faithless, and negative. He definately doesn't want us to be positive when we get up. He wants us to have a bad attitude and be selfish and self-centered, full of hatred, bitterness, resentment, doubt, unbelief, and fear-to be mad at everybody.
But thank God, through Jesus Christ, we have redeemed from all of those negative patterns. We can resist the devil and trust God's power in order to live victoriously today."

With that said...THANK YOU GOD FOR ALL OF YOUR BLESSINGS, I may not realize it everyday, but I know you are working in my familys life, as well as mine.
