The Widow’s Prayer

May9

The Widow's PrayerDear Lord, I yield my life to your sovereign will.
My hopes, my dreams, I trust you still.
The pain, the fear, I lay at your feet.
Only you know what is best for me.
Your plan, your will, your path let me see.
Dispel the fog that clouds my mind, speak Lord, let me know I will be fine. Help me follow you fully, especially when I don’t understand, for I know you alone have the master plan. I yield, I trust, what more can I do, my life is not about me, but it’s all about You! Amen

The Widow’s Welcome

Apr23

One day I heard a knock at my door, it was so unexpected.
I wondered who it could be.
As I opened the door he spoke rapidly, Hi, it’s me…I know you’re weren’t expecting me but I am here.
Excuse me, I asked but who might you be?
Oh dear you don’t recognize me, I know this is a surprise, but I was told to come…
My name is death, and please allow me to introduce fear, pain, heartache, and sleepless nights, they travel with me where ever I go.
Oh, and how can I forget, loneliness, and depression, I couldn’t get rid of them if I tried, enough with the introductions… Welcome to widowhood may we come in?

Fear Not

Even though everything about your life is different, you don’t have to be afraid because our God remains the same.

1. “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I

2 Timothy 1:7

4. “Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he
hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. 6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my
helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.” Hebrews 13:5-6

5. “But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than
many sparrows.” Luke 12:7

Trust

Nov19

Faith in Five is designed to help you build your faith with 5 verses of scripture.

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6

But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield. Psalms 5:11-12

And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. Psalms 9:10

Trust in The Lord & Be Blessed!

Does God Care?

Nov3

Yes, yes, yes, a resounding yes. As you transition from wife to widow it can be extremely difficult; and at times you may even think God doesn’t care. I just want to remind you that God cares so much that “… even the very hairs of your head are all numbered….” Luke 12:7 (KJV) You are valuable to Him.

You are so special to Him that He doesn’t want you to bare anything alone so, please continue “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.” 1 Peter 5:7 (KJV)

Be encouraged. God Cares!

Nevertheless At Thy Word

Oct15

Scripture Reading: Luke 5:1-11

Luke 5:5 “And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.” 

The scripture today allows us to see we can get more, do more, be more simply by obeying the word of the Lord.

Simon and his crew of trained fisherman had toiled all night. They were professionals, fishing was their trade, but with all of their knowledge and experience they toiled all night and had taken nothing.

As widows let’s keep in mind no matter what we think we know our ears and hearts must always remain open and ready to hear and obey God’s directions. Even after we have done our best obedience will always yield more.

Let down your defenses, let go of your fears and receive the greatness God has prepared.

Nevertheless at thy word…I yield and obey.

Luke 5:6 “And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.”

Blessings!
