Luke 2:37 and then was a widow to the age of eighty-four. She never left the temple, but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying. BSB

 

And I prayed, Father, my heart is full with Your love. It is so warm and wonderful! Thank You for Your presence. Father, when I fasted, I did not see the answer from You. Should I have continued? I am sorry. Forgive me and help me to walk with You.

 

Pain has come from every side, from friends, family, and on the job. Everywhere is pain. Use it, my Lord, to change me. Help me to let go of everything but You. You alone are my comfort, joy, and peace.

 

I truly know nothing, but it is not what I know but Who I know. Only Jesus and Him crucified and resurrected. I cling to You. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen.

 

And God said: The cherubim are entering My chambers. It will not be long until I return for you. Be ready.   And life IS good when the Christ is in it. Be ready, friend. Be ready. Shalom.
