How Can I Smile? Because the Lord Is My Keeper

At times life seems to be so full of lemons. I wonder why? Why certain things happen? 



I know as Jackie Gouche Farris sings in "My Help" "the Lord will not slumber or sleep." No matter how bad things get and seem to be at times when everything seems to be at an all time low help came out of no where to my amazement. That is one thing I love so much about the saviour I serve he can come to you in your darkest hour and make it your brightest moment.

Right now here tonight as I write this I am asking the Lord because he knows the storms which are raging and I know and have the faith he can calm the storms. He can keep and bring about the joy to dance in the rain with a smile.

Lord I ask you touch the heart of each and every one of my children. Lord I ask you to touch their lives. Lord I ask you to give them some sign of reassurance their help cometh from you. When there seems to be no way you you are the way. All things are possible through you with a mustard seed of faith.

You have carried us through many trials and tribulations and you have strengthened us along the way. There's a reason for every season and we normally don't see it until the next season how our work in the previous season helps us to enjoy the fruit of our labours in the next season. Place a strong message on the hearts of my loved ones who need it. A comforting thought you make no mistakes.

Touch the hearts, souls, and minds of those who are not at ease. Bring peace and understanding over those whose hearts are heavy laden by recent happenings. Especially those who I cannot wrap my arms around and say I love you and everything is going to be alright. Remind them in some way you never have and never will leave or forsake them. There is no testimony without a test. They are loved by me and you.

This too shall pass. Lift up their eyes, do as the eagles do, fly above the turbulence. As long as they hold onto you as their anchor they shall not be moved.

Bless them, keep them, let them be covered with the whole armour of your goodness and mercy. Let them suffer nothing. Amen!
