I was recently listening to all the roaring about an evangelist that I respected highly and her husband, who I respected as well, and their personal bouts with domestic violence. At the same time, I remember my Pastor teaching us that certain things women should go out of their way to cover as it relates to their husbands. I am an advocate and speak openly against domestic violence yet I am a believer and a person who has lived many mornings and seen many things... there are two sides to every story. My pain is that it is wise to be a good business person but not at the stake of another person. Hubby although seems to be the person at fault here is the only one who is being focused on... yet there are skeletons in every one's closet and we would do well to protect one another. Family is sacred and sometimes healing has to be between you, God and the physician not the whole body of Christ. Well, I am sure the end will reveal all because God is always fair. No matter how evil people can be, God still loves them and cares about them. God always has us on his mind. I am careful about praying for my enemy because I don't want to wish them a harm that might return to me and mine. Vengeance is mine says the Lord. We are quick to kill each and to reveal each other's faults. My Bishop recently shared that we should thank God because in our deepest sin (believers and non-believers) God covered us... God has us on his mind. Please let us learn to cover each other. The life you save might be your own.

Let Us Pray...

Dear God - In a world of uncertainty and continual ups and down God, we thank you for your consistency. We thank you for your faithfulness. We thank you that even as the tunnel of life seems to be dark you are our light. Even when we can't see it God, we know that you are the light in our soul. When the job is uncertain, when our love ones are wishy- washy, when what we depended on no longer brings us the security it once held, God, we yearn for you, we reach for you, we search for you, we seek for you, like a deer that pants at the stream in the morning, we need you, we need you, we need you. God, we have made a decision that we are going to praise you... because praise is what we do no matter what we are going through --- tear stained eyes, through joy, through sorrow, we can and will bless you. So God, we pause right now and tell you "thank you." Encourage your people, strengthen your weak ones and when we are weary continue to be that wind beneath our wings. We love you - we love you - we love you! God, we receive the peace that passes all understanding and we rest in the blessed assurance that we are yours and you are ours. Bless us and we shall be blessed, heal us and we shall be healed. Thank you right now...because we know that you are thinking about us right now! Thank you forever in Jesus name - As it is written so shall it be done. AMEN

Wishing you peace, joy, prosperity, clarity, love and strength in every area of your life.
