Lord, I thank you for the DIFFICULT days. They ALWAYS feature various fodder for GROWTH, and the only question is in which area I will grow. These last couple days I have had blissful moments of being outdoors, enjoying the 70-plus degree weather and the balmy (60s, lol) nights. I have had a couple moments of near PANIC, like when my website completely CRASHED yesterday after I initiated a plugin update… and for the first time EVER I could not even TRY to access the backend — my admin screens. Yikes!! I still have soooooo much to learn, and it frustrates me sometimes, trying to do and BE everything for this crazy website… but I must say, I do enjoy the challenge, ONLY when there is not any type of TIME PRESSURE (my kryptonite!!), heehee. I think I MAY have finally begun to get my “flow” or my “groove” back today, having released the next FOUR Spanish digital worksheets and coming to the end of my playing “catchup” for time lost to frozen temperatures without power to keep my laptop warm enough to use it. How INSANE the Texas weather is this year — more snow in the first 6 weeks than we EVER have in an entire DECADE… and temperatures down around zero longer than I have ever seen (enough to knock out the power and give us all a REAL taste of COLD!!)… then it climbs back up to 79 degrees in less than a week. NOT complaining about that part… just sayin’. LOL :D

This Psalm was on my e-Sword app when I opened it up: Psalm 112 ERV

Praise the LORD! Great blessings belong to those who fear and respect the LORD, who are happy to do what he commands. Their descendants will be given power on earth. Those who do right will be greatly blessed. Their family will be very rich, and their goodness will continue forever. A light shines in the dark for those who are good, for those who are merciful, kind, and fair. It is good for people to be kind and generous and to be fair in business. Such good people will never fall. They will always be remembered. They will not be afraid of bad news. They are confident because they trust in the LORD. They remain confident and without fear, so they defeat their enemies. They freely give to the poor. Their goodness will continue forever. They will be honored with victory. The wicked become angry when they see this. They grind their teeth in anger, but then they disappear. They will never get what they want most.

Lord I thank you for this intense journey called Life, even though lately I have felt like it was much more of a curse than a blessing. I thank you for bringing my Mate and myself safely through the days of freezing cold without power, and I thank you for bringing him most of the way safely through this intense physical struggle he is suffering right now. It HURTS to see him struggle this hard, and I pray that as the Mover of Men’s Hearts, that you move his heart in the direction of his own freedom and health, Lord. I KNOW you love him even more than I do, and I THANK YOU for being the faithful Shepherd that you are — for myself, for my Mate, and for ALL your sheep who know your Voice and try to follow you as best we can. THANK YOU for your enduring mercy towards each of us and all of us, and please bless each reader of this little prayer blog with PEACE today and tonight. Amen. Thank you, Lord Jesus.

Back to Fran's BLOG Praying with the Word FranLaff.com/BLOG

I have used this little pic to represent my prayer blog since February 2017. It’s a good mix of things that are ME: nature, worship, surrendering self… plus a solid dose of modernity and technology, as I believe this little box-human is one of the Amazon-style graphics that were popular at the time that I found it. Not sure who created this pic, but I do believe I found it on Pixabay, where NO attribution or credit is needed. However, I am quite willing to be corrected if I am mistaken. 😉 🙂 😄 :O>
