I Thessalonians 5:17, “Pray continually.” (NIV)
Romans 8:26, “In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words can not express.” (NIV)
Ephesians 6:18, “And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.” (NIV)
When your running on empty...
Make Jesus Lord of your life. He is Truth and the truth will set you free. His righteousness will cover you. Read your Bible it is your sword of the Spirit, it is your weapon against the enemy. Your faith in Jesus will shield you and you will be given peace. We need to remember to pray because God is just waiting to answer us!

J-O-Y
S0rry I haven't posted in awhile. I've been pretty busy. I've have added curtains to 3 rooms in my house, painted my front door, painted another wall in my kitchen, cleaned out kids rooms & clothes, picked out paint for my bedroom, etc. We have been blessed to be able to add a few enhancements to our beautiful home. I thank God everyday for my wonderful husband who helps make our home beautiful and who allows me to buy all these extra enhancements. He is truly amazing. He brings alot of JOY to our home. So speaking of JOY....I got preached to this morning. We have an evangelist Todd Jenkins in service with us this weekend and a statement he made hit home with me. Actually, it took me a minute to get it....but when I finally got it.....it hit home. He said.....that if you do not let ANYTHING, NOTHING, ZERO, ZILCH, NADA, get in between Jesus and you, you will have all the JOY you want in your life. Okay, so here is where the analogy is.......J - O - Y. So there's Jesus O You. The "O" in the middle of JOY is zero....you will have joy if zero is in between Jesus and you. Sorry I had to spell that out like that....it took me a second to figure it out so I thought it would take you a second too. lol :) I just thought of how much JOY I would have if I wouldn't allow others, distractions, pressures, stress, hobbies, THINGS, problems...and the list could go on and on....get between Jesus and I. WOW!!!! If I allow all these things to distract me from my main focus, I will be missing out on JOY, PEACE, HAPPINESS, LOVE, and the list could go on and on. I hope there's noting between Jesus and you to steal your JOY.
