Prayer for Realigned Focus



© 1999 Debbie Turner Chavers



At times
strength arrives 
in drops of liquid peace as I worship.
Arms extended, heart submitted upward
I reach to be cradled
by the strong arms of peace that sustain me.
By God’s love that restores and renews me.

Praying the Word of God will settle the waves assaulting your peace. 
The Word of God will reveal the false narrative that floats you into storm filled seas.
Be still and know. 
Prayer can refocus us when we have been blown off course by the cares of this world and the spiritual intensity of daily life.
Spend time with God. He welcomes you and delights that you are seeking Him.

Prayer and worship can strengthen you in your journey here on this Earth. 
Take time to be still and know that God is God. 
The surrender of self to realignment will strip you of false layers, preparing you to rest in the warmth of the LORD’s peace and care.

A moment of prayerful focus can realign your day or night. Why not take a moment as you are reading or listening to this to agree in prayer with me for restoration and the hope filled peace given by God.

🙏  
Father God, thank you that nothing presents an impossibility to you. 
You, Father are well able to accomplish every good work within me. 
May your beauty of redemption be seen in me and my situation.
In Jesus name. Amen

Martha, Martha - Time to Refresh

© 1998 Debbie Turner Chavers
Water-Man Series


As I thought of my daily physical and spiritual activity this past week, I realized I was in need of refreshing. As If my heart and mind were not telling me loud enough...a detector in my home started an intermittent beep followed by a verbal warning that said "Low Battery" every so often.
There is always another task and another place to go.
But let's stay home...and sit at His feet.

So what if...
God really speaks to us in the mist of our daily endeavor? Yes, mist..not midst.
So what if....He did?
Would you pause to listen? To gather your bearings, possibly chart a new course?
Would you begin to unload your cargo...to be still and really listen?

At times we flounder in our thoughts and life choices. Stabbing at every passing thought with a small movement toward recognition.
We search for patterns in the maze of life. A thread within the tapestry and try not to unravel.
This search for clarity and meaning can only be found in Christ Jesus.

Our heart can thrill when we perceive God's truth in our everyday perspective.
We can bemoan the darkness or we can lean into His light.
It is amazing that when surrounded in darkness that the smallest, tiny dot of light brings relief to an aching heart or weary mind.
We have been given a precious freedom from the present darkness.
Lean into His light, walk toward the light of His Way and His Word.

Refreshing..
~Debbie


Luke 10:38 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.
Luke 10:39 And she had a sister called Mary which also sat at Jesus feet and heard his word.
Luke 10:40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.
Luke 10:41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:
Luke 10:42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

Resting

Water-Man Series



Do you work and live your walk in Christ Jesus..jockeying for position in the kingdom?
Be found faithful, serving Him. Not as men pleasers, but as servants and children of God.
In areas of our ego, less of us and more of Him always equals more in kingdom work.
Allow Christ Jesus in you to shine.
The Sabbath rest that He bought for you is not perceived as rest by you or others when you are self-striving.
Birthing things in the flesh...self-effort is foolish and draining. Rest in Christ Jesus, allow Him to do what only He can do.

~Debbie


2 Colossians 3:22-24  Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eye service, as men pleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:
And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.

**Just as a pen can't remember the words written as it was poured out..let us keep no record of wrongs as Christ is writing our story. Forgive.
~DTC
