Thank you, Lori! This very much reminds me of my own thoughts this morning. I was reading a book that I keep in the bathroom called His Princess - Prayers to My King, by Sheri Rose Shepherd. Sometimes it's a bit sappy (don't mean any disrespect, it just is) and I can't read too much at a time, but I like to pick it up and see what prayer I open when the mood strikes me. Well, this morning when I opened the book I noticed something that had never dawned on me before. On the page facing each prayer is a lovely picture of flowers and jewels and a verse of Scripture. I had seen this before. What I had not noticed was that the prayer was built around the thought of the verse. So this morning I read: O Lord, you are our Father: we are the clay, and you our Potter, and we all are the work of your hand. - Isiah 64:8Well, this morning I thought, what a great idea to take a verse of Scripture and make it into my own prayer. Lori! You have just given me a whole list of wonderful verses to start with! Bless You, Lori! Pegg  (Message edited by pegg on September 14, 2009) | ||

This morning I also thought how differently I would have read the same prayer only a few years ago. Back then I would have thought it was a prayer for help to accomplish what I must do rather than a plea for what He would do for and in me. What A Wonderful Contrast!!! “We cannot receive the Holy Spirit until we break every yoke that binds us to our objectionable traits of character.” (Review & Herald, Apr. 25,1899 par 9)Grrrrr.....  Glory Be To My Gracious Savior Who Has Freed Me From This Yoke Of Sin And Death! Pegg | ||

I re-read the scriptures above, and was energized and challenged, then I read the Ellen quotes above, and it felt like someone sat on my chest. The pressure was so intense. The joy pushed out. But just for a second. A contrast indeed! My favorite, of the above: 15 This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says: "In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength Isaiah 30:15. | ||

Lori, I started reading the EGW quotes and I could not read past the second one. I cannot read her. Then I read yours in depth as I had skimmed them at first. Pegg, I like that one also. Thanks ladies for putting them on here. I am so glad we have an awesome God who keeps His promises. I got 5 hours of sleep Friday night and drove to Lancaster that afternoon and felt great. I slept 6 hours Saturday evening and was up and about all day Sunday in Lancaster and was full of energy. I started getting sleepy in the Sunday evening meeting. I got a good 8 hours sleep last night and drove home today on a real high. So, Yes. God gives us strength and power and protection (my car needs an oil and filter change and I drove home with the maintanence light on but no smoke coming out of the hood or the tail pipe). God is soooooo Good and so very, very Awesome. Diana L | ||
