You Need God, I will Pray for You

being a senior i’ve gotten sooo much time to think about the past rather think about the 15 page essay i have to do… and what i thought about was that the people you grew up with are definitely different people you used to know. the people you once knew and whom you so loved are long gone to what they were. they might have drifted into different paths with different people who they become friends with. I dont know what to say to them anymore, its seriously not worth my time talking to them anymore. but what if we can change time, that we can keep the friends that we have loved so much, that we can always be with them. because maybe, you know what will happen when they leave, they reach the wrong path and theyre being influenced by the wrong people and their friends just get them in trouble, but you cant talk to them because you dont know them anymore, you dont have influence in their lives anymore, so as i see you, you need help, and i want to! but i can’t because really…i dont know you anymore, and who we were as friends is in the past now. i just wish that i can go back in time and rescue you from the wrong path you have taken……i guess the only thing to say is the title…

The Past Day

I was sitting in my car at a liquor store, I thought about what kind of people go in there, and i remembered a memory of mine when i was in the city, this black man that was homeless. He asked us for money but we denied him because you never know what they will do with that money. I walked a couple blocks to the car and we started driving and we came upon another homeless man, this one was limping. The man carried a sign as he walked through cars asking for HELP. 

I felt as if I have to do something for others when really I am the one that is suppose to help myself. I ask for Gods power and strength to change others when really i should be the one being changed first so i can do Gods work. If my heart isn’t in the right place, where’s the realness and genuine effort put in when we try to change a persons life? 

Chapel talked about things we hide under so that no one can see and that we should let it go. Jesus died on the cross so everyone can see the shame, Jesus paid it in full for us, I’m forever cleansed by the blood of the lamb. I don’t need to hide anything from anyone. God HELPs us He bring us up into peace and joy, so that we can rest and not worry because our God is in control. 

In my distress I called upon the Lord;
to my God I cried for help.
From his temple he heard my voice,
and my cry to him reached his ears.
Then the earth reeled and rocked;
the foundations also of the mountains trembled
and quaked, because he was angry. (Psalm 18:6, 7 ESV)

To me that is amazing. That in our hurting he saves us from our enemies with an anger that even the mountains tremble in fear of the power of God.

Power

Gods power is within us, no doubt about that. We go through the troubles of this world with the strength and faith that God will pull us through it because we cannot do it alone. God is my love and that love gives me the strength to get me through the day.

Amazing

“Who is like the Lord?” oh how true that is! Nothing in the world and beyond it is like Him..and get this…The ruler of all things, who created EVERYTHING, loves us. He created every single thing you see, you and me, the vast ocean to the driest desert. God is Amazing! What can we do except worship Him in our lives and how we live them out. Today be glad that THE CREATOR has given you a life to live.

Mistakes

I think we’ve all made a mistake and gotten the consequences from our parents. But how does that look in God’s eyes if He is constantly there watching us live out our day basically in sin. How can He love us, if we ourselves can’t live a day without sinning. I know making mistakes are the worst, but they build us up. Mistakes if you think about it, helps you be a better Christian. We need to be imperfect to hopefully grow and be perfect in the eyes of our Father. I make mistakes all the time..God’s love and grace covers me and i have learned from them and it has gotten me to be a better Christian. So if you make a mistake, its okay, trust in God and know that He will get you through the consequences and grow into a better person than before. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 “we are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;”

Walls

Walls are to keep things divided, keeping one part separate to the other. Sometimes we make walls to prevent things from going out and something’s from coming in. In my life, I always feel as if I’m not good enough, that I will never be someone great. I sometimes feel like a failure. When God appeared to Moses, Moses felt afraid to be in His presence, maybe it was because he feared what God saw in him. I sometimes feel the same way when I do something wrong or make the wrong decisions and so I create this wall that prevents me from fully being in Gods presence. Walls prevent us from Gods grace, we need to break them down so we can fully enjoy and be free in the presence of the Lord. Having walls can prevent things from coming in, but sometimes God wants us to fully trust in Him to take care of our failures so we can let go and break down the walls we have built up.
