"MY LETTERS TO GOD"

Monday, July 8, 2013

Dear One......Thank You. Thank You for the power of Your Word to us. I find nothing more delightful.....than to open the scriptures and see a verse that will attend to the needs of my soul.....at just the time I need to see it. The peace that it affords me is priceless.....and irreplaceable. Lord, I need Your intervention continually in my life. If I am without it for too long.....I feel that my steps are a little shaky and my words, regrettably, insignificant. For years, I said little. After a while, giving no opinion wears on you. And, then.....what comes flying out of your mouth.....is often, not so good. Way too memorable in my case history! I am grateful for the untamed filter I have found in giving You the utter truth of my heart. You take those places of regret and fear.....and lay hold of what is really vital for me and my responsibilities to You as Your servant. Lord, it would be a sorrowful end for me to know that my words and attempts to "fix" a wrong, would be misunderstood and ill advised. Lord, always take my attempt to "fix" things as trying to be like You......not trying to replace You.
I cannot do anything I please, just because I have been a Christian for a hundred years. I cannot say anything I please, for the same reason. My abilities to give wise advice come from Your wisdom infused in me. The words I would use, would be as a foreign language to me. That is how I know that Your wisdom is being spoken through me. I just do not have the power on my own to even think of the words coming out of my mouth. Being empowered by Your divine-ness is all I can depend on. To do this, Lord......I need a clear line open at all times between You and me. I would assume that all aspects of living as close to You as possible is my finest hope. I love knowing that to live as close to You as possible......all I need to do is keep all lines of communication open is pay attention to Your words to me. Spoken or written.
No disobeying Your Word.....as I understand it. To listen to Your "still, small voice" carefully and to heed the warnings You give.....and to ask for all the empowerment You can trust me with.
"Oh, deeper yet, I pray.....and higher everyday......and wiser, Blessed Lord.....In Thy precious, holy Word."
In all I pray and ask requests for.....I ask in Jesus Name....Amen.

Introduction to "My Letters To God"

My letters to God came about by my need to communicate with Him on a regular basis. I needed to, as a christian, a wife and a mother notwithstanding, pray every day. As a young mother I found myself almost continually interrupted by my two little girls. All for necessary and legitimate reasons. You and I both know satan uses every trick in the book to keep us from communing with God and I felt that he was definately getting the upperhand. So, one day out of sheer desperation, I grabbed a sheet of paper or a notebook (I don't remember) and began to scribble out a prayer for God to come and rescue me. I needed to tell Him EXACTLY how I felt. I needed Him and felt that this was my only recourse. Invariably, before I started writing, when I was interrupted I hardly ever would go back to my devotion time. I'd forget where I was in my prayertime and it all seemed futile.....after all, the wash had to be done, the beds had to be made, baths needed to be taken care of.....etcettera.....etcettera....etcettera. After the first attempt, I tried it again and again until this wonderful habit was formed for me. I could literally stop mid-sentence and almost always go back , and pick up where I had left off. As I found my time with God lengthening because of my determination to do this, it ended up being my solace. Even with two more daughters and a son as the years went by. I often found that it was truly a wonderful thing when I would search for a word that described what I REALLY felt. Many times in my prayertime prior to this , I would skim over the

hard parts that would express my angst to Him sort of mumbling, "Lord, you know what I mean.....". I was so terribly desperate to express how I really felt. To that, I could only tell Him in my tears and fears and frustration hoping He would still love me. I'd reread sometimes and find that I was alot meaner than I knew He would be pleased with.....or, I was not as bad as I believed I was.

Writing to God has followed me into the years that the world says are the "senior years". It doesn't matter to me. As long as I can hold a pen and write Him all of my heart thoughts, the "mind stealers" will not deter me. I am determined to be God's instrument. I will blow my horn for Him as long as He gives me breath!

As I share my letters with you, past and present, may you find in Him the solace that you need. He will give that to each of us. This is my prayer.
