Faith Filled Friday
Thanks
for joining us for Coffee Hour with Chicklit Power and Faith Filled Friday with
Trench Classes United. Have you ever stopped to examine your heart and your
time you spend with Abba? Are you thirsting for more of the Lord? How great it is that we are thirsting for Him
because we know He is the only one who can quench our thirst. Oh, Be Still, My
Soul!
Psalm 63:1 (NLT): “Oh,
God, you are my God; I earnestly search for you. My soul thirsts for you;
my whole body longs for you in this parched and weary land where there is no
water.”
Do you find yourself like me, where days fly by and it’s the end
of the week before you know it? When I looked back at my week, I found myself in
somewhat of a desert as a result of not taking time to be still before the
Lord. Sometimes setting that time aside is more difficult than other times.
Do you take the time to be still before the Lord? It’s a
difficult task in our fast-paced world. I’m so grateful for the knocks and
whispers from the Lord, gentle reminders and requests telling me He wants to
spend time with me. But my flesh has been so tired these past few weeks, so
much so that my need for more sleep has been canceling my appointments with my
Abba.
Recently I saw this question: "Am I allowing myself to be
interrupted by God?" Dietrich Bonhoffer
WOW! This quote spoke volumes to my heart. I cried out to the
Lord, “Oh, please, interrupt me.
Interrupt me that I might spend time at Your feet, quietly
sitting and letting all my days, plans, and list of things to do fall away. This
is what refreshes the soul and it is when I am refreshed that I can dare to
research my soul:
Psalm 139:23-24 (NLT) Search me, O God, and know my heart; test
me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and
lead me along the path of everlasting life.
Can you relate to what I’ve shared? If so, please take
this time to pray with me, that we may refresh our souls:
Jesus, forgive us for getting caught up in the hustle and bustle
of our lives. Help us to set aside time just for You so that we can be
refreshed and revived by You daily. Show us the areas in our heart that we need
to repent for and fix our eyes on you. Jesus, discipline us to set aside time
with you. Oh Lord, help us to put you before ourselves. Thank you for hearing
our prayer and being ever so faithful to forgive us. Oh what a gracious
God we serve. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Have a great weekend,
Ashley
