Streamlining

To all my readers of Blessing in His Grip - God's Gift of Prayer:

In order to streamline my blogs, I have combined this blog with my main, devotional blog.  I will be posting scripture prayers each Wednesday, but at a different blog address. You may have already noticed this, but I wanted to send out this message just in case.

I invite you to visit me at my devotional blog:  The Beauty in His Grip and check it out!  Be sure to re-enter your e-mail in Feedburner or connect through Facebook or Google in order to continue to receive my devotionals and scripture prayers!

Blessings,

Strength and Dignity

"She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear 
of the future. When she speaks, her words are wise and she gives instruction with kindness. She carefully watches everything in her household and suffers nothing from laziness" (Proverbs 31:25-27).

Father, I long to grow in the beauty of the Proverbs 31 woman. Give me the confidence that comes from trusting you, so that I may release all my worries and fears into your capable hands. I pray that you grant me wisdom and discernment so I never speak unkind words to those around me. Help me to be diligent in caring for my home and my family. I long to exhibit your strength and your dignity as I offer all that I do to you. In Jesus' precious name, Amen.

Note:  In order to streamline my blogs, I will be combining this blog, where I pray the scriptures, with my devotional blog.  I'll keep this one up for now, but you'll now also find current posts at The Beauty in His Grip. 

Blessings, Joan

Each Day

"Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail.  They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness" (Lamentations 3:22-23).

Thank you, Father, for your amazing love!  I know that no matter what trials or challenges we face you will never leave us.  Your mercy and grace is new each day!  Thank you for your forgiveness when I fail and for your compassion when I am suffering.  Your faithfulness encourages me as I seek to honor you!  In Jesus' name, Amen.

Your Gifts


“He who did not spare his own Son, but gave Him up for us all--how will He not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things?” (Romans 8:32)

Thank you, Father, for your generosity!  Each day, you shower me with blessings.  I confess, that sometimes I haven’t taken the time to see them, but when I focus on you, your gifts become clear.  Help me to always see your kindness for what it is…faithful and unconditional love.  In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Always Near

"The Lord is righteous in all His ways and faithful in all He does. The Lord is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those who fear Him; He hears their cry and saves them" (Psalm 145:17-19).

I praise you, Lord, for your faithfulness!  You are so good and true.  I am so thankful that you are ever with me.  Whenever I call your name, you hear me.  Thank you for answering my prayers and guiding me as I look to you.  In Jesus' name, Amen.
