Prayers For You

I have become aware that many of you who follow this blog are hurting. I am aware of this from reading some of your blogs. Pain and suffering, hardship and difficulty are all around us.

I only want you to know that I KNOW Jesus loves you and cares for your trials. I know that many of you do not even believe He exists. But if you are searching for Him ... just pray, "Jesus, if you are really there, help me to find you and know that it is really you". Keep praying this from your heart every time you can think of it and keep your eyes open for signs of Him.

I hope you find Jesus. He loves YOU and died to pay for your sins. He is familiar with our suffering. Worthy is the Lamb that was slain!

You can hear "Worthy is the Lamb" here. The scenes are graphic and they are from the movie, "The Passion of the Christ" 2004, so this may not be easy to watch or appropriate for some people. It is very difficult for me to watch what my Savior experienced in this clip. But it reminds me that I call upon Jesus who knows suffering and He carries me when I am near my wits end.

May you find Christ and experience His grace and mercy today. May you discover His goodness and be sheltered under His wings.

Praying for many of you.

beautiful post! Thank you for this! With so many followers on this blog, you can really be a light to those who dont believe!

Jesus says, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh into the Father, but by me. (John 14:6)

I pray your blog and posts are a blessing to many lost people!

God bless!

You are a light in the dark!

Yes, you are right, some people don't believe in Jesus as our Savior. After all, it's hard to believe in someone you can not see, but it puzzles me as to why these same people believe in any books written on history.

The Bible is the greatest history book ever written and God's instructions to us for life.

Yes, that video is hard to watch...just made me cry again and thank Jesus for saving me.
We are saved by the blood of Christ.
For those people who don't know/ believe Him...it's not too late...He waits for you to come to Him.
Why not pray to Him today?
But know this....God works in His time...not yours.
Sometimes He must bring us through hard times to move us to a better place. This I know from my own personal experience.

Sorry to take up so much space here...your prayer message moved me!

Thank you and have a blessed day!

Thank you Steve for such an amazing post. I think you are right that there are a lot of people hurting out there. As we walk through the trials of life, God, who created the universe and you and me, cares about the sparrow that falls. He sent His Son to pay the price for the sins of the world. There are a lot of people who don't believe that, but HE still loves us, and waits for us to take HIS hand.
"For the message of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us which are saved it is the power of God." 1 Cor 1:18

It is great to see a firm Christian stepping out for what he believes. If only our world today had more people like this!
