O God, what peace and comfort there is to know that You are all-knowing and there is never a question that can baffle You. Therefore, I come boldly to Your throne of grace so that I may obtain mercy and find grace to help me pass this very important exam (Hebrews 4:16). Yes, I'm doing my part by studying, but I am not trusting in myself for a successful outcome because Your Word says that he who trusts in himself is a fool (Proverbs 28:26). My eyes are on the Holy Spirit to show me what I do not know and bring everything I study to my remembrance (John 14:26) I praise You, Father, for You give wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding. You reveal deep and secret things; You know what is in the darkness, and light dwells with You. (Daniel 2:21-22). I stand in faith that You will reveal the answers to whatever part of the exam that I find myself in darkness. I thank You and praise You in advance, O God, for giving me wisdom, insight, and making known to me the answers to the exam (Daniel 2:23). I will give You all the glory and will resist any pride as a result of this victory. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.<br /><br />EMERGENCY PRAYERS <span style="font-weight:bold;">Deborah Smith Pegues</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/651530373990608206-123941934690465236?l=confuscled.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>jANellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15022829668161551784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-651530373990608206.post-45668381278028055512008-10-02T21:09:00.000-07:002008-10-16T21:30:01.567-07:00I thought that becoming a follower of Jesus would help me kick the sin habit, providing the inoculation I needed, but in some ways the sin symptoms just grew worse. I realized how much I was infected and how it was affecting my attitude, my relationships, my life. So the truth is that I'm fighting. I'm fighting sin with everything I've got. Some days I fare better than others. Odds are that if you're calling me a hypocrite, then you caught me on one of my worst days. I am sorry. I'm sorry that I let you down and disappointed you. But the truth is that I'm not giving up or letting go. I've encountered a God who promises that the battle ends in victory--life instead of death. So call me crazy--but I'm holding on to that promise. I'm also trying to uphold the standards God has set. They're pretty high, and some days I just find myself laying on the ground, staring at the ceiling. But then I feel an urge, an energy, to get up and fight once again. I could use your help. The next time you see me behaving like a hypocrite, pull me aside and gently let me know. I'd really appreciate it. -<span style="font-weight:bold;">Margaret Feinberg</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/651530373990608206-4566838127802805551?l=confuscled.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>jANellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15022829668161551784noreply@blogger.com0
