/Tribulation and Stamina
This mystery....is Christ in you, the hope of glory.  Colossians 1:27

Only through much prayer can you endure much tribulation.  In no other way can the new life in Christ develop and gain stamina.
Be as a child and trust Me implicitly.  I will honor your faith and will give you still more.
Do not place restrictions on divine aid by trying to live the Christian life in your own strength.  I Myself am your victory. My kingdom shall be forever, but even now it is in your heart whenever you bow to Me as sovereign.

The greatest thing we can learn is that our walk with God isn't about us, or our abilities, or our charm, it is about God.  It is about what Jesus has done for us, it is about being God's vessels and only concerned with what he wants in our lives.  It is about yielding and surrender to him and his will, then we have joy and victory in him.


Father, we give ourselves to you today, and we yield ourselves to your will for our lives.  Help us Lord to hear you when you speak to us and then help us to do your will for us.  In Jesus name. Amen.

Yesterday at church, we had breakfast prepared by the men and then a great service together.  Julie and Tyson did the music on piano and drums.  Ciera Klein did a body worship song.  Michael shared the word.  It was a good service.  We are getting rain and things are really wet.  Jack went home with Jerry and Julie and I drove to Devils Lake to get some supplies for her to take back to Bismarck.  The rest of the day was spent helping her get ready to return today.
