Words to Ponder, then Prayer and Scripture

"When I am alone in my head,
I am in the most dangerous
neighbor-
hood in America,

 far worse than any gangster neighbor-hood.






I want to stay in the best neighbor-hood in town----
the 'hood of gratitude,
surrender, and prayer."

"In the bad times, fear is my Higher Power."

"All the power I have comes from admitting my own powerlessness."

"I am well off when God is my Higher Power, and those are the good times."  

"You are always safe when you are in gratitude." 

"It is good to have a vision of who you want to be.

My vision is to be calm and trust in God."

"Stay in the warm pool

of

faith, trust, hope, and love.

That pool will be calm and safe and warm no matter what.

And if it's a really good pool,

it will also have friends in it."

Lord, I lift to You the situations of my life that concern me,

I lay my worries before You and

ask for Your mighty Intervention

to show me what's right when I can only see what's wrong.

I am determined to see the good,

so help me not to be blinded by my own

fears, doubts,  wants, and preconceived ideas.

I ask You to reveal to me

Your truth in every situation.

In Jesus' name I pray.

-------------God's Promise-----------

And we know that all things work together

for good to those who love God,

to those who are the called according to His purpose.

Romans 8:28

The blue flowers are my morning glories.

The pink is ???I can't remember, but I like them.

The white flowers are part of a climatis

that takes over a corner of my porch.

Blessings.
