God help us to leave everything else aside.
God help us reduce the time we spend on all other things.
God help us to live for you.
God help us cultivate fertile soil for you! and teach others to do the same!

Vain Preoccupations

 Oh how we are so consumed by vain preoccupations. Help us when focus on the better occupations.

God help us focus on what is valuable.
God help us focus on what is true.
God help us spend our time on the eternal.

We need your help every day.
Help us to trust you.
Help us navigate this world.
God shake us till we see you!

Oh Dad

Revelations 21: ³ And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. ⁴ ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’^[b] or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” ⁵ He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”

 Oh Dad I miss you but I know you are at peace with God and how wicked it would be to call you back. All your pain has been wiped away. Oh how I praise God for that.

In reality they are all the same and how quickly we forget this.

Let us remember we are here for a refiners fire and that is what gives purpose in life. How hard it is to accept this. Revelations 21:5"An he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new..."
