My Journey Into Happiness & Godliness: 01/19/12

One of the main reasons I have set up this blog is to gather advice and information on how I can be guided through my Journey into Christianity. "We need others around us who know Jesus. Who want God to influence their lives", "The Spiritual Starter Kit" Lesson # 5 - The value of other believers.

I am not perfect nor do I want to be, I am not here to change the world, or the way people think. I am just here to be happy and put the past behind me, wash away all the pain and view the world differently to the way I see it today. I want to be happy in no matter what I do, feel completeness and at peace with the world and admire all the beautiful things it has to offer me, my family and all my beautiful friends. I know this can happen it is just a matter of believing!

Please, I urge you to join my site and welcome any thoughts you may have or advice that will help me on my way! This site would not work without your input. Please note I am dyslexic, so, if anyone wishes to volunteer to edit my posts, by all means feel free.

Feeling Tired & Weary

Matthew 11:28

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

Seeds of Doubt

I wasn't sure whether I should put this on my blog, but I am going to any way. Since I have become a Christian I have had a+ massive high and now I keep going up and down, up and down with seeds of doubt being planted in my mind every now and then. I need to establish how I over come this and will let you know my outcome.
For the moment have a read of this and let me know what you think?

Verse of the Day - Thursday, January 19, 2012 - Biblestudytool.com

1 Peter 5:8 (NIV)
Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

My Thought of the Evening

"Have a plan to grow emotionally, physically, intellectually and spiritually together, Marriage doesn't just happen you need to work at it 110%. It takes time and commitment throughout. The more you put in, even at difficult times, the more you will reap the rewards.

Above all never forget why you fell in love and devoted yourselves to each other." - Mr & Mrs Forster

Scripture Verses

Philippians 4:4-7 New Living Translation (NLT) 4 Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice! 5 Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon. 6 Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
Tiredness ... but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31
(2 Timothy 3:16). So, it makes sense for us to carry God's Word in our hearts through memorization, to be ready to face any problem, every difficulty, and whatsoever challenge that life can send our way.
Proverbs 15:18 says: “A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, but he who is slow to anger appeases contention.”
”A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.” (Proverbs 16:9)
“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord … ”(Psalm 37:23)
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” (Jeremiah 29:11)

Useful Quotations

"'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbour as yourself'" (Matthew 22:37-39)
Appreciate both the big things and the little things in life. Be grateful--even through the low points--remembering that the sweet would not be quite so sweet without the sour. (How to get the love of Christ -Wikihow)
Find the energy of God by getting in place to encourage yourself, accept and then pass on the blessings of man by the will of the Lord God so you are a peacemaker -- one of "the sons[/daughters] of God." (Matthew 5)

Useful Prayers

"Dear Father, I need You. I acknowledge that I have been directing my own life and that, as a result, I have sinned against You. I thank You that You have forgiven my sins through Christ's death on the cross for me. I now invite Christ to again take His place on the throne of my life. Fill me with the Holy Spirit as You commanded me to be filled, and as You promised in Your Word that You would do if I asked in faith. I now thank You for directing my life and for filling me with the Holy Spirit."
Prayer for Me and My Family May the mind of Christ, my Savour, live in me from day to day By his love and power controlling all I do and say. May the Word of God dwell richly in my heart from hour to hour, So that all may see I triumph only through his power. May the peace of God, my Father, rule my life in everything, That I may be calm to comfort sick and sorrowing. May I run the race before me, strong and brave to face the foe, Looking only unto Jesus as I onward go. -Kate B. Wilkinson 1859 – 1928
"I am sorry for my sin, all my wrong doing; I want to change, and I truly thank you for everything and that I am now forgiven and saved from the penalty for my sins as a free gift, in Jesus' name."
