Nehemiah 2:4 NIV

Then I prayed to the God of heaven, and I answered …

Nehemiah 2:4 NIV

Help us, dear Father
Not rush with our words
But pause & pray to You
Until we’ve truly heard
~
Help us, dear Father
Not be rash with what we say
But proceed with wisdom
After we’ve paused to pray.
~ wlm

Blessings as we remember to pause and pray before we speak during difficult circumstances. ~ WendyLMac

May our hearts ring praise
of our Holy God
Who alone is King
of all He’s wrought.

Acts 12:5 NIV Earnestly Praying to God

... the church was earnestly praying to God for him. Acts 12:5 NIV

Prayer loosens chains that bind us
And sets our spirits free
For earnest pleas are mighty
In securing victory
Prayer breaks the bars that block us
And opens iron gates
So we can walk in freedom
From fear hindering our way.

1 John 2:6 NIV Walk as Jesus Did Wendy L. Macdonald

The proof of our allegiance
Is the way in which we walk
For to claim Christ as ours
We must do more than talk
To prove we are God’s children
We must live a godly life
Empowered by His Spirit
As we walk with Jesus Christ.
~ wlm

Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did.

Prepare my heart for surgery
That I’d be fully Thine
And pruned of all things worthless
As I abide in Your Vine
Open my heart for fruitfulness

Aged in grace and holiness
While growing wiser with time.

Remain in me, as I remain in you.

No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine.

Isaiah 26:9 NIV Yearn and Long for the Lord

Isaiah 26:9 NIV Yearn and Long for the Lord Wendy L. Macdonald picturescriptures.wordpress.com

The Golden Hour

In the golden hour

Of early morning’s hush

May we long to listen

Before daybreak’s rush

In the golden hour

Of sunset’s farewell glow

May we yearn to hear

God’s whispers to our weary soul.

Psalm 42:8 The Lord Directs His Love

Psalm 42:8 NIV By day the LORD directs his love Wendy L. Macdonald

By day the LORD directs his love,

at night his song is with me–

a prayer to the God of my life.

Psalm 42:8 NIV

~

Jesus pierced the darkness

With His Holy Light

So we can walk in God’s Truth

Instead of clothed in night

~

Death pierced Christ’s body

And spilled His Holy Blood

So we can be washed forgiven

In God’s Sacrifice of Love

~

Love pierced the burial tomb

And brought Jesus back to life

So we can live forever

In God’s perfect Paradise.
