• Actively practice our Faith, and TRUST God...
• If our faith is weak, we need to ask for it to be strengthened/increased...

this got me thinking about that chorus, and it was ministering to me (because I happen to be battling my own little 'lack of faith' issues...) so anyway, the Lord prompted me to write the above verses. I hope there are people out there who might relate to what they are saying.

Scripture References:

• Proverbs 3:5,6
• Luke 1:37
• Hebrews 11:1
• Romans 8:28
• Jeremiah 29:11
• 2 Chronicles 7:14   (because, hey we need to humble ourselves before God; if we're gonn'a allow ourselves to lean on his strength!)

Chorus:

Give me faith to believe, And the courage to receive

From your hand Lord, from your hands

Let all doubt dissappear, Let your praises fill the air

Give me faith, give me faith to believe.

 

Something to think about...

Thanks Dennis for dropping by... I removed your email address from the message itself, because I didn't know if you wanted it posted here, like this.

As for meeting needs...Ummm: I think it's more like God has been meeting mine! I'm not particularly enjoying this "valley" I find myself in; but the good news is: I am perservering!

JESUS SAVES. JESUS KEEPS. JESUS SATISFIES.

Oh how beautiful! I've got a tear rolling down my face from reading this. I've been struggling lately with doubt and fear and blasphemous thoughts. Your site is a God send! Keep it up!

I realise that countries have been based on principles from certain religions, but that's really no basis for putting religious ideas into the government. There is, after all, seperation of church & state in order to make things fair for everyone.

But yes, everyone has their own beliefs, & people should not force what they believe on others, especially when others have their own beliefs that they believe or care about strongly.

I understand that you may be overly "candid" & honest & believe what you believe, but you also have to be careful, because that won't flow with everyone. You may believe you're "spreading the word," but for other people who have other beliefs & love them just as strongly as you love yours may be very offended.


Corina's Response:

There shouldn't be seperation of church & state. Afterall, God's rightful place is OVER EVERYTHING. And let me get something straight: when I say church, I mean: "God's people" (they are the church. I'm not talking about 'denomination'. There's a difference.)

I don't believe in forcing beliefs...but I don't believe in being a doormat either, for Satan.

As for the fact that I "should be careful"... I haven't said anything, out of the way...and given the fact that this is a blog: It's people's own choice if they want to read it. (you know, the whole: "If you don't like the program, change the channel" mentality.) I'm not FORCING my beliefs on anyone...

It's here for anyone to read, if they so feel inclined.

God bless.

Just want to say hello, and hope you have a great week end..
No weapon formed against you shall prosper.
God bless

Hey Corina. I just wanted to thank you for your last comment in my blog. You have no idea how much it meant to me. I was at the point of falling apart and I needed more than anything for someone to just say that it was going to be ok and to give me a hug (even if it was in smilie form ) Thanks *hugs*
