Day 28: Bad times Blowing Away



Copyright © 2016 by Michelle Lores

 

A plastic bag blowing

End over end,

Reminding me of tumbleweed

Blowing in the wind.

 

Oh that the bad times

Would just blow away—

Like that plastic bag

To bring in a new day.

 

Thanks be to God!

His mercies are new every morning.

I can trust Him at all times,

 So I will begin and end this day singing…

 

Praises to Him

With thankgiving in my heart.

No matter what today holds,

I will trust Him in FULL and not in part.

 

Only with His help

Will this day pass

In Joy and not regret—

Focusing on today and not the past.

 

 

“Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of TODAY.

Thank You that yesterday is gone, and Your mercies are new EVERY morning.

Great is Your faithfulness, O Lord!

Your steadfast Love endures forever!

I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made!

There is no thing that is hidden from You.

You see all.

You know all.

You know what will happen this day, and You are in control.

You reign.

Even amidst chaos, You reign—

and are King over all.

 

You are good.

I belong to You.

You have promised to take every situation—every THING in my life—and work it together for my good—no matter how bad that thing is (Romans 8:28-29).

You are all Powerful.

 

I believe Your Word to be true.

I believe You—

I put my trust in You.

 

I give You this day, and I thank You that nothing in it will surprise You.

 

Help me to remember to tuck my hand inside of Yours and walk trustingly, even if I am surrounded by death on every side.

 

I choose to trust You, for my life is in Your hands, and even if I were to die at the hands of cruel men, I will choose to praise You, for my life is Yours, it exists for Your glory, and the home that awaits me in Your presence forever is what I live this life for anyway.

 

O Lord, You are so good, and I trust You.

Have Your way in my life today and always, and may I never fear what man can do to me, for he holds no power over You.

 

I thank You, dear Lord.

You are beautiful, and this day is Yours!

 

In Jesus’ Name, I pray all these things.  Amen.”

 
 

 

What is my cup of SonShine today?

To not be afraid,

To receive God’s mercies anew today,

And to trust God for my future.

 

“You are Amazing, Dear Lord!

I praise You!

Strengthen me with the power of Your Spirit that I may be refreshed and renewed and ready for this new day You have given me to live.

I praise You, Lord!

You are Wonderful and Beyond Compare!

Fill me with Your Spirit that I may honor You today.

I step aside and give You full control.

All I have is Yours.

Do with me as You will.

In Jesus’ Name, Amen!”
