Building Ourselves Up in Song~

Sometimes life can be discouraging; Circumstances can weigh heavily on our hearts

and minds. It is important to take our thoughts captive as the Word teaches.

Meditating on and memorizing God's Word is a powerful way to

encourage ourselves in His truths.

Hidden in My Heart is a beautiful collection of scripture songs that will

soothe your spirit and encourage you heart

as  you are reminded of some of God's promises.

Some of the selections include:

Be Still And Know

The Peace of God

Bless the Lord

The Lord is My Shepherd

.........................

Though Hidden in My Heart is described as lullabies,

it is encouraging for anytime of the day. Even the adults in our family find it to be

 a blessing. I listen to it when I feel the need

for some quite assurance of God's love and direction.

A Voice to Pray... II

I hope you were encouraged by the first part of A Voice to Pray.

            There is nothing that can take the place of that time of communing and fellowship.


The more I pray, the more I find I want to just be with God.

Sometimes there is just silence with a powerful awareness of His presence.

And the beautiful thing about that, is that there is a revelation of the scripture in

Hebrews that says," I will never leave you or forsake you." (13:5)



"Prayer is not overcoming God's reluctance, but laying hold of His willingness." Martin Luther.

 As you read and pray the following verses, ponder this quote by E.M Bounds.

"Prayer breaks all bars, dissolves all chains, opens all prisons, and widens all straits by which God's saints have been held."
