Download or read book Grace in Tension written by Claire McGarry and published by Our Sunday Visitor. This book was released on 2021-10-01 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all face stress and tension in our daily lives. We might even wonder why our God of abundant goodness doesn’t remove the everyday struggles we face. Jesus’ interactions with Martha and Mary in the Gospel provide us the key to understanding how God shows us his love by allowing tensions in our lives. As we follow the sisters’ transformative journeys through their own struggles, reflecting on what transpires between Scripture verses, we see their initial tension become the catalyst that drives both Mary and Martha to the feet of Jesus — the place where all discover peace. Grace in Tension explores the areas where stress arises in our own lives. Each chapter ends with a thought-provoking prayer to inspire us to go to God with our problems, followed by questions for reflection to help us see all the ways he’s working for our good. God doesn’t create any of it, but he does show up amid life’s difficulties, ready to lead us through. No matter how big or small our struggle, when we seek him out, he reveals what we need to do to resolve our tension, transforming it into grace.

Download or read book Finding Peace Through Prayer written by Lilleth and Neville Morgan and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-05-11 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prayer is our safe place, our place of refuge. Abraham Lincoln once said "I am often times driven to my knees by the overwhelming convictions that I have nowhere else to go. The pressures and troubles of life have a way of bringing us to the awareness of our need for the Father's help, and once we express our needs to the Father, He takes action on our behalf."" Prayer is our sure defense against the enemy. In Ephesians 6, Paul wrote, "finally my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities against powers against the rulers of darkness, of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole amour of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day and having done all to stand." For those reason we need to equip and protect ourselves with the Lords armor. Amen, Praise the Lord.

Download or read book Finding Peace Through Prayer written by Dr. Clarence V. Sanders and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-05-18 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The greatest and most valuable benefit of prayer is that we can draw near to God and learn from him. In this book, it shows us that we need to reserve more time to pray and meditate. When I pray the Lords prayer, I often wonder, how is our Fathers will done in heaven? In this book, we learn no matter where we are or what we are struggling with in life, God is always with us to bless and comfort us. Our Heavenly Father is with us in every difficult time and trial. In this book, we learn how God watches over us, comforts us, and loves us with an everlasting love that never fails. This book helps us to hear, to receive, and to respond because it lays us open to unforeseen conclusions. True spiritual transformation can happen when we allow the word of God to address us rather than us trying to control it and its effect on us. Do not fear, for I am with you, do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand (Isa. 41:10, NIV). The key to understanding lifes storms is in your private meditation with the Lord. Ask him to give you understanding that you may apply it to your heart. And this I pray that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment (Phil. 1:9). Put what you have into his hands, and he will make it valuable. Prayer is intended for spiritual communication and for requesting things from God. It provides spiritual fellowship and communion. God tells us to ask him for what we need. We are encouraged to make our requests to the father in Jesuss name.
