Looking For Lasting Joy-May the God of hope fill you with all joy. Romans 15:13
Life before God was hopeless. It's like I woke up out of a fog, like I was knocked out and then came to. Now I  feel as though I have something worth living for. I look around at all the "stuff" out there and realize that it is all insignificant. I love you Lord.

Enjoying God's Presence-In Your presence is fullness of joy. Psalm 16:11
I know you are with me 24/7. Why do I feel sad? Is the devil doing his work in me causing me to be depressed? I am trying to give it all to you Lord. Everything seems so overwhelming at times. My focus is on you and becoming closer to you. Everything will be okay.

Serving Eternally-You have a better and an enduring possession for yourselves in heaven. Hebrews 10:34

To be able to do a task that suits my power, tastes, and abilities excites me. I just wish I knew what that task was on earth so I could practice before I get to heaven.

God's Presence-I will be with you always, to the very end of the age. Matthew 28:20
I do my best to be with God throughout my entire day. Although at times I get consumed by the evil of everyday life. I have to pray more for depression and anxiety to go away. With the Lord there is no reason to be sad. So why am I? Pray, pray, pray!

The Tug of God's Love-The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.  Romans 8:16
Before I found Christ I always said "I'll believe it when I see it." Now that my heart is open and the Holy Spirit is filling me with His blessings, I get it! I now understand why He died on the cross and when He ascended the Holy Spirit is here for all who believe. I believe Lord, I believe!

Rest For the Weary-Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.    Matthew 11:28
Thank you Lord for enabling me to be comforted and calm during all of the chaos that swarms me. I still get upset and sad but there is an overall peace around me. I know that with Jesus Christ guiding my path that everything will be okay.

Keep On Being Filled-Be filled with the Spirit. Ephesians 5:18
I try so hard to be filled. This ugly world keeps throwing things at me to try to make me weak. I am trying to keep filled.
