You feel as if the world is closing in on you. You have trouble in
your relationships. You have a nagging something in your mind, but
you can't quite name it and it won't go away. You have trouble with
anger. You wonder what your purpose in life is. You have faith and
hope that come from your religious journey, but they seem to be
waning. Some days any or all of these gang up on you. Who can help
you? Where do you turn? Is there someone who can help you to make
sense of it all? These questions and more are the very content of
honest prayer. Your most trusted friend is the one who made you.
Our creator is available to sustain and guide us on the whole
journey of life. In the ups, downs, and in betweens, Spirit is
present to uphold. Prayer is the connection point of our present
circumstance to the One who provides hope and meaning. In Morning
Glory and Evening Grace, the prayers are an expression of daily
life. They come from the heart and soul and are offered to a God
who desires to know and help us. Use them to inspire your own
expression of authentic faith.
The act of blessing is a powerful one in Christianity with deep
biblical roots, reaching back to the early chapters of Genesis. It
expresses a very basic human instinct - the longing for protection,
peace and happiness. So it is not surprising that the world is full
of blessings for that most basic of human provisions - a place to
call home. Peter Watkins has collected together over 100 house
blessings from widely differing cultures and sources - the Bible,
Celtic spirituality, Latin prayers (translated here!), prayers of
St Francis and other saints, poems of blessing from Robert Herrick
and other literary figures, contemporary liturgies for rites of
blessing for each room of a home - and much more.
We must position ourselves to receive. In any circumstance where a
giver is giving, the recipient must position themselves to receive.
Spiritually you cannot receive a gift from God unless you position
yourself to receive that gift. In fact, if you are not in position,
God's blessing will crush you, it will cause the opposite effect
than was intended. Cameron and Caden Sturtz were dying from a rare
liver disease until their parents decided to position themselves,
to let go and let God take control even if the boys were to lose
their lives. This miracle blessing was crushing their family until
they were willing to position themselves, which was the hardest
decision ever. The Lord asks what you are willing to sacrifice for
the harvest He has for you without knowing what it looks like.
Remember what He sacrificed for you. In Genesis 32:24-32 there is a
story about Jacob that proves the point about positioning. - Learn
how to position yourself to receive the Father's blessings. -
Discover how to let go and let God control every facet of your
life. - Be blessed by this testimony of God's miraculous healing
power. - Those who persevere and "overcome" will receive the
blessings of the Father!

a particular prayer or a thanksgiving. Marvin's prayers are now
shared with others in this Guidebook for Personal Prayers. Marvin

For tens of thousands of Christians, Charles Haddon Spurgeon's
Morning and Evening has been a daily devotional guide through
life's ups and downs. But as time has passed, younger generations,
nurtured on contemporary versions of the Bible and less familiar
with Spurgeon's beautiful but sometimes difficult prose of the
nineteenth century, have needed a devotional guide that made sense
to them, written in their language, using the Scripture with which
they are familiar. To that end, this new revised edition of Morning
and Evening offers readers the best of the past - Spurgeon's
insight and wise counsel - and the best of the present - the fresh,
meaningful prose of the New International Version. Special
Features: * Each day's devotions are presented on a two-page spread
for complete ease of use * Each of the 732 devotions - one for
every morning and evening of the year - provides inspiring
meditations on portions of Scripture drawn from every book of the
Bible * A new topical index helps readers discover Spurgeon's
thoughts on various topics important to Christian life * An index
of texts lets readers find what Spurgeon had to say about a
particular Bible verse. Spurgeon has penned meditations, expressed
simply but eloquently, that continue to draw readers to faith and
obedience. Though Spurgeon published thousands of sermons and many
books, Morning and Evening remains by far his most popular work.
This attractive, contemporary edition makes it easier than ever to
enjoy it.
