I come into Your presence, Lord,
Guide me to follow You and obey;
Help me to better understand Your Word,
I thank You for this beautiful day.
Those who grieve ~ comfort them, Lord,
Lift up those who are discouraged today;
Bring back those straying from Your Word,
Give cheer to our Troops in harms way.
Bless the families left behind, Lord,
Give them strength and courage to go on;
Guide them as they daily read Your Word,
Let every thought of fear be gone.
Keep us all from temptations of sin,
Direct all the evil darts to be turned away;
Lead us to overcome ~ for Victory to win,
It is in the Name of Jesus ~ I pray.
~ Amen ~

Traveling On...by Leona I. Miller
Each of us are on a Journey,
We must keep traveling on;
A choice must be made who we'll serve,
Every day with the morning's dawn.
The trials and burdens may be many,
The baggage we carry is so heavy;
Even though we become weary of traveling,
Jesus helps us to keep our feet steady.
We need have no fear in our heart,
In Heaven our Victory will be won;
God sends Angels to protect us,
So let's keep traveling on.
Someday, God will call our name,
It may be sooner than we think;
With Hope, we must prepare our life,
We must never allow our faith to shrink.
Keep traveling on...we'll meet Jesus,
Someday we will reach our goal;
The books will be opened and we'll know then,
How every sin un-forgiven will take its toll.
If we walk with God...He will walk with us,
He will lead, guide and direct us from wrong;
Until He calls us from this earth,
Be patient and just keep traveling on.
We must keep traveling on;
A choice must be made who we'll serve,
Every day with the morning's dawn.

The baggage we carry is so heavy;
Even though we become weary of traveling,
Jesus helps us to keep our feet steady.

So let's keep traveling on.

We must never allow our faith to shrink.

How every sin un-forgiven will take its toll.

Until He calls us from this earth,
Be patient and just keep traveling on.
Tears... by Leona I. Miller
Tears of affliction may dim the eyes,
While the winds of temptations blow;
Seas of discouragement send sorrows,
Be patient and wait for blessings to flow.
Each new day gives a new beginning,
Tears may flow, but God understands;
Speak with Him in humble prayer,
He will help you...trust His Plan.
Tears are seen and heard by our God,
Jesus wept too, when Lazarus had died;
He knows our thoughts before we think them,
He knows each sorrow when we have cried.
The heart may feel as if to be breaking,
There's tenderness, weakness and pain;
In times like these we must remember,
God did not promise every day without rain.
There are clouds in life that will come,
God has faithfully promised to be with us;
We must trust Him, always, for all things,
It's too easy to complain, fret and fuss.
Turn everything over to our Heavenly Father,
Watch as He turns the problems around;
This world is not a permanet dwelling place,
He lifts the troubled soul to Higher ground.
Pray and trust Him today, dear friend,
You will be so thankful you did;
Things will not always be as now,
Let burdens and tears with Him be hid.

Thank You Father. by Leona I. Miller
Father, I come in humble prayer,
Asking for Your Wisdom again today;
Thank You for always watching over me,
There are so many obstacles in my way.
Please, Father, give peace to the weary,
Give strength to those who lost their way;
Watch over the lonely and those in sin,
Comfort those who grieve a loss today.
There's a great need for Your love each day,
It is not possible to make it on my own;
I know nothing is impossible for You,
You hear each prayer, tear, sigh and groan.
Father, please don't let me go astray,
Every moment, I need Your tender care;
So un-worthy still, but I give You praise,
Thank You for hearing each humble prayer.
Thank You, again, for Your protection,
Thank You for Your tender, loving embrace;
Thank You for being with me when I'm weak,
Thank You for Saving me by Your Grace.
In the precious Name of Jesus,
~ Amen ~

Jesus Cares..by Leona I. Miller
Does Jesus care when you are sad?
Oh yes, He cares for you, dear friend;
Keep your eyes focused on Him, always,
There's Joy and on Him you can depend.
Jesus cares when things go wrong,
He watches over you, day and night;
He walked the roads of sorrows too,
Rejoice and keep your vision bright.
Walk by faith and not by sight,
Trust in Him so you don't go astray;
Lean on Him ~ He will guide you,
Just remember...don't forget to pray.
Call on Him in times of trouble,
He knows everything that you need;
He waits patiently for you to come,
It matters not of race, color or creed.
There is a harvest time ahead,
First though, we must plant the seed;
Seeds of Joy, happiness, love and peace,
Forgive others and pull up angers weed.
God is Love, so walk daily with Him,
He will forgive every sin you regret;
He cares about you and each problem too,
Remember friend, God is not finished yet.

The Way Of Life. by Leona I. Miller
When life's storms rage around us,
Call to Jesus and kneel to pray;
He gives shelter in His loving arms,
Guiding and giving protection each day.
The ways of life are not always easy,
Often, there is trouble in the way;
We may stumble, but Jesus cares,
He gently keeps us from going astray.
The enemy prowls and seeks to devour,
That's when we must call on Jesus;
Prayers are the answer for our happiness,
Jesus is the One whom we must trust.
Some day the raging storms will cease,
Our soul will be at peace on Heaven's shore;
There, no heartaches will ever be known,
Trials can never again, against us roar.
Heaven awaits the Saints who love Jesus,
A place of rest, love, joy and peace;
There will be a reunion with loved ones,
Praising Jesus with Angels to never cease.
Let's put aside all our differences and get
ready to meet Him...He is coming soon.

Who Is Your First Love?
It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God. Have you ever found yourself so overtaken by someone’s love that you stop thinking correctly? All day, every day you sit thinking about this particular person. You wonder what they are doing. What they are wearing. When you will see them again. When the phone rings, your heart begins to race in great anticipation. Have you ever found yourself devoting all of your time and energy to one person until everything else in life becomes secondary? In your eyes, the sun rises and sets with this person. Even God has become a second thought in your life. You once knocked the church doors down to get in, but now you miss more Sundays than ever. Your prayer life has diminished. Your fasting has severely decreased. Your worship and praise for God has been substituted for compliments and sweet words for/from this person. Have you been there? Are you there now?
Today, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. My friend, please never forget where love starts. The Bible declares in 1 John 4:8 - He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. The love we have for others, derives out of our love for the Master. Allow me to ask you an important question: Who Is Your First Love? Who keeps the smile on your face each day? Who do you think about all the time? Who do you aim to please and satisfy? While God blesses us to enjoy (godly) relationships, he does not bless our relationships so that they can become our top priorities. He must always remain first. Just as the Lord spoke to the church at Ephesus, is He talking to you today? The Bible declares in Revelation 2:4 - Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Have you left your first love? Not that person you dated years ago. Not that person who circled yes on the note you sent in the middle of class. Not that person who wrote you a short poem or gave you one red rose.
My brother, my sister, Who Is Your First Love? Who keeps you believing things will get better? Who enables you to see beyond the current problems in your life? Who comforts you when everything in life appears impossible? Beloved, to be in love with Jesus is the best thing that could ever happen to you. This is a love that accepts us as we are. This is a love that does not see where you are, but where you are going. This is a love that receives the faults and failures that accompany you. This is a love that enables you to get back up again. The Bible declares in Romans 5:8 - But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. What kind of love is this? Who do you know that can love you like this? JESUS CAN! When everything seems chaotic and out of control, reassess your life. Make sure you have not lost sight of your first love. Prayer for Today: Father, You are the first love of my life. No one can ever replace You. You are the first, the last, my every thing. In Jesus’ name … Amen!
