Betty's "Thoughts from my heart"

Happy Monday,

Hubby passed away August 16,2025. I am still grieving. I have OA, fibro, and COPD.

I am in physical pain every day. I suffer from anxiety. There are days I do not want to leave the house.

Yet I find comfort in my family, my Church family, and watching good preaching and Bible teaching on YTube,

God is good even when our situation is not the best. God never promised our world will be perfect but He promised to always be with us.

Maranatha,

Betty

God is good even when our situation is not the best. God never promised our world will be perfect but He promised to always be with us.

And He promised to change our flawed bodies into perfect ones when He takes us to live with Him in His perfect Heaven.

It does hurt!

And you are right, God is good even when the situation is rough, and He is with us thru it all.

Praying for you!

Amen

Friday,

We will have sorrows in our lifetime. We must choose how we will react to sorrow. We can grow angry and bitter or we can turn it over to God.

This does not mean we will not have days and nights of tears, but we will not be in the battle alone.

God will walk with us through the valley of death. He will never abandon us. We will be refreshed when we begin to pray for others,

We pray for others, not out of obligation, but out of love. Reminding ourselves that many times others prayed for us. When we realize praying for others is a privilege, then our prayer life will grow and so will out faith.

Maranatha,

Betty

Children of God

Daily Prayer for October 13 CHRISTOPH FRIEDRICH BLUMHARDT And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!" So through God you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son then an heir. Galatians 4:6–7, RSV Dear Father in heaven, we come before you as your children, longing to be assured through your Spirit that we are and may remain your children. We long to live to the glory of your name under the shelter and guidance of the Lord Jesus in expectation of the great day which shall fulfill all promises made to us. Strengthen us, especially in dark and troubled days. Help us when danger threatens and when evil tries to make headway among us. Deliver us from all evil, for yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory for ever and ever. Amen

I do not believe we will understand fully the significance of being children of God, until we enter into Heaven’s Gates. Then we will truly understand the cost Jesus paid for our salvation.

Praise God for the release of the hostages.
Maranatha,
Betty

Lord Help Me To Be Steadfast

Daily Prayer for October 17 CHRISTOPH FRIEDRICH BLUMHARDT “The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Romans 13:12, NIV Father in heaven, we thank you for giving us light. We thank you for the great hope for a day whose light is not of our making, whose source is in you, a day to come that can touch our lives already today. Keep our hearts steadfast, free of all human wavering. May we always hold to the love you have given through your grace, and may we find joy in your love, which is full of light and understanding. Amen”

It is easy to be sidelined by life. We get too busy to read the Bible. Yet, when we make the time, we are rewarded by God. He gives us peace and joy. This does not means that we will not have times when we are sad.

I asked my nephew to drive me to the park where there are ducks. For many years my hubby and I went to this park. I shed a few tears but it was a blessing to relive memories of my hubby and me.

May God help us to keep our hearts and minds on Him. Please pray for my brother-in-law who had his neck operated on yesterday.
Maranatha,
Betty
