Rooms to Grow

CATEGORY

There are rooms in my home where I seek Your inner peace
There are rooms in my home where my worries I release
There is something about me Lord, there are times I'm not sure
Give me the understanding, give me patience to endure

Give me the strength and the wisdom for the things I do not know
Give me the guidance, lead me Lord to the rooms to pray and grow

In my living room is where the gospel songs I play
I raise my hands and exercise to start me on my way
In my kitchen there is food, there is rice and beans and meat
I pray to God and thank Him for the food that I'm about to eat

In my bath, in the mirror, You are Beautiful I say
In the shower when I cleanse, there are moments when I pray
In my bedroom where I sleep, I pray to God my soul to keep
Guide me safely through the night, wake me with the morning light

Find in your home a Prayer Room, a Dare Room
A room where you dare to have faith, dare to believe
Dare to trust God so you can receive
Dare to love, dare to have faith, dare to try, dare to fly
Dare to have peace and pray for increase
Dare to dream, dare to know, dare to find that room to grow

In your heart there is room, room you didn't know
Room for you to love again, room for you to grow
Room for you to trust, room for you to heal
Room for you to restore, room for you to reveal

In your mind there is room, room for you to grow
Room for you to forgive, room for you to let go
In your spirit there is room, room for you to grow
Room for you to seek God for He truly loves you so

In your life, find that room, that room where you can go
That room for you to laugh and live, that room for you to grow

Holding on to the God rail

There are times in life where you may think life is not fair just because to you things are not working out the way you want them to. During that time you may not be able to fully understand the process as the pieces of your journey is being connected, but I say to you, continue holding on to the God rail.

There are times when what the doctor says can alter your mood, your thinking, your attitude, or even your life. But I say to you, do not be discouraged. Whether what the doctor said was good or bad, always remember, God is in control. Keep your mind and focus on Him and continue holding on to the God rail.

In life you will have highs and lows, ups and downs, heartbreaks and heartaches, times of uncertainty and disappointments, but I say to you, through it all, continue holding on to the God rail.

One of the toughest times you will be tested is during your bereavement. That will be a time more than ever that you will have to hold on to your God rail.

Think of a time when your rent was due and it got paid and then, thank God.
Think of a time when you got fired and then, thank God.
Think of a time when you were sooo drunk, yet you still made it home safely and then, thank God.
Think of the times when you look at your phone and there are NO missed calls or text messages and then, thank God.
Think of your endurance and strength and then, thank God. Think of God’s love for you and then, thank God.

Think of the times you had dirty dishes in the sink and then, thank God. Think of the approvals and non-approvals and then, thank God.
Think of when you go home and turn the lights on and they actually come on and then, thank God.
Think of the goodness, mercy and grace of God and then, thank God.

Think of being able to choose which shoes to wear and then, thank God. Think of a time when you had a successful surgery and then, thank God. Think of when y...

Thank You God for NOT...

So yall, there are times in my life where I can reflect back and even now say, “Thank You God for NOT..."

Thank You God for NOT letting me get married.
There was a time in my life where I was going to get married and I asked God, if this marriage is not meant to be, then don’t let it happen. Well, it didn't happen.
To others, it looked like I didn’t get the answer I wanted, but to God (and to me), I got the answer I needed. Thank You God.

Thank You God for NOT letting me get that promotion.
I am a firm believer of what God has for me is for me. This was not for me. This was someone else’s blessing. God had something different and better in store for me.

Thank You God for NOT allowing me to suffer.
Thank You God for NOT letting this situation break me.

Thank You God for NOT letting him come over that night.
So yall, there was a time (years ago) when my male friend said he was on his way and didn’t come.

God your Mind

God your mind - Think Godly thoughts.
God your steps - Allow God to walk with you and direct your path.
God your tongue - There is Power in the tongue, speak positivity.
God your heart - God so loves the world, let’s Love like God loves.

Trust God and KNOW, with God, God will guard you.

Peace

Dear God,
Thank You Father for Your Peace.

Dear World,
I don’t pray for world peace, I pray for God’s peace for the world.
His peace brings calmness, simplicity and patience in your life. God’s peace is an insurmountable peace that this world cannot give you.

John 14 vs. 27 (NKJV) says - Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Philippians 4 vs. 7 (NKJV) says - and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

For THIS peace, you cannot walk in Walgreens or Walmart and say, “Excuse me, what aisle is your peace on?
The doctor can’t prescribe you peace. The pharmacist can’t bottle it up. You can’t cook it or drink it. There is no farm or field that grows it. No amount of money you have can b...

Dear God

Thank You for granting us Your peace Father.
Thank You for never leaving nor forsaking us.
Thank You Father for all You have in store for us.
Thank You for healing us, loving us and forgiving us Father.
Thank You for Your many promises of protection and for Your mercy and Your grace.

I have a new Comforter

Hey yall, I have a new Comforter. I’m so excited. My new Comforter is soft, warms my soul and adds brightness to my life. And this new Comforter is different than what I’m used to, because I’m filled with such a warmth I’ve never felt before, much better than any sherpa, plush or down, any pillow or teddy bear. I am so blessed, grateful and thankful to have this Comforter. I find such a calmness and a sense of peace with my Comforter, and when I am under my Comforter, I know I am loved and protected just by the warmness felt.

Well actually, my Comforter isn’t new, my vision of my Comforter is new, because truth be told, my Comforter has been here all the while.

Do you want to feel the warmth of my new Comforter? Yeah, I bet you do. Just accept the Lord Jesus Christ and invite Him in your life. He is there waiting to comfort you, carry you, warm you and hold you through any of your coldness, darkness, hurt and times of loneliness and uncertainty.
