Reminding signs
I got two reminders
this week that I really needed. Lately
these signs have been popping up in yards around town that contain one word and
that word is “pray”. Then on Friday
night I was reading through blogs I had written before. I don’t normally do this and I rarely watch
the video version after I posted them.
On my first job as a security guard I was guarding a refinery site under
construction and one of the blogs I had written reminded me of this habit I had
of praying for the safety of the employees and that they would have hearts that
would seek after God. I now work at a
gated community. God reminded me that no
matter where I work or what I’m doing I should still be praying for those
around me. Moses prayed multiple times on
behalf of the people of Israel. Jesus
prayed for his disciples and you and me in John 17. You can pray anywhere and anytime for those
around you and in your life.
Ephesians 6:8 “Pray in
the Spirit at all times and on every occasion.
Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers
everywhere.”
Philippians 4:6-7 “Don’t
worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank him for all
he has done. 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.”
“Dear Heavenly Father,
please take the reader and watcher of this blog and draw them closer to you and
give them hope. For the people I work
around Lord give them hearts that seek after you.”
This is a poem I wrote to go with the blog.
Power Washer
Like rain and
sludge down a storm drain
He opens his
heart
He pours out
All thoughts and
cares
To God above
The pressure in
the soul and brain
God now deals
with the pain
The man no
longer needs to hold on
For now he is
held
In stronger arms
All fears and
wishes
Leave them to be
cleansed
Like dishes in a
dishwasher
Because God’s
love
Cleanses better
than any
Power washer
He pleads on
behalf of
Those near him
And under his
care
He cares because
His savior
First cared
Like rain and
sludge down a storm drain
Peace now
replaces the cares caused by pain
Prayer and
trusting God
Has cleansed all
stains
