Highs -n- Lows Living with the Disease

Another Beautiful Morning!
I received a call for a Dr appointment, yesterday at 3pm. My Dr wasn't available so my appointment was with another Dr...they wanted me to come in to see what was going on. After looking at the sore  on my right hand, she thought it looked like an ulcer...
I'm watching it until Friday to see what it does and then I call the Dr office.  They will decide if they will need to do a biopsy on Friday...

I am so thankful for all I can do...

Prayer Makes a Difference
By Charles Stanley
Read | 1 Timothy 2:1-8

After observing the godless trends in our nation, we readily recognize the need for change. But God’s solution for our predicament is surprising. Paul instructs Timothy to establish some priorities in the church, and first on the list is prayer “for kings and all who are in authority” (1 Tim. 2:2). The reason for our petitions is so that we can live tranquil and godly lives and thereby have unhindered opportunities to tell others about the Savior (vv. 2-4).

Paul wouldn't have given Timothy this instruction unless he believed the prayers of the church would make a difference in achieving God’s purposes for their nation. Our problem is not with the Lord’s promise or capability, but with our lack of faith. By focusing on the enormity of the problems or the power of those in office, we lose sight of our sovereign God who waits for us to request His intervention.

Political policies and legislation are not ultimately determined in conference rooms and governmental chambers, but in prayer closets. The voices that shape the direction of a nation are not necessarily those that ring out in legislative halls, but those that approach the throne room of God with bold faith (Heb. 4:16). As the church believes and prays, the Lord will respond.

Knowing that God can change a country, you may be wondering why He has waited so long. Maybe He is asking you a similar question: “Why have you waited so long to pray?” Every authority on earth can be touched by the power of prayer if we are willing to ask and believe God.

Looking forward to another great day...
