Spread the Corner of Your Garment …

Ruth 3

Spread the Corner of Your Garment ...“Spread the corner of your garment over me.” Ruth 3:9

Lord, this is my prayer today. Spread the corner of your garment over me.

May I find you in “good spirits,” approach quietly and lay down in your presence.

May I be found by you to be a man of noble character. As surely as you live and reign, Lord, redeem me. And redeem my two books from Harper Collins. Free Skull Creek Stakeout and Dead Low Tide.

The Word of God inflicts hurt on us more than sin ever could, because sin dulls our senses. Oswald Chambers

There is never any mistaking the pain of the Lord’s Word by His children, but the moment that pain is felt is the very moment at which God reveals His truth to us. Oswald Chambers

The Lord’s Hand Has Gone Against Me …

Ruth 1

The Lord's Hand Has Gone Against Me ...“The Lord’s hand has gone against me!” Ruth 1:13

“The Almighty has made my life very bitter.” Ruth 1:20

“The Lord has afflicted me.” Ruth 1:21

“The Lord Almighty has brought misfortune upon me.” Ruth 1:21

The Lord came to the aid of his people. Ruth 1:6

Lord, when it seems that your hand has turned against me, come to me. When my soul is bitter, come to me. When I am afflicted, come to me. When misfortune overtakes me, may I run and overtake you.

Where you go, I will go. Where you stay, I will stay. Your people will be my people. You are my God.

We impoverish and weaken God’s ministry in us the moment we forget He is almighty. Oswald Chambers

The reason some of us are such poor examples of Christ is that we failed to recognize that Christ is almighty. Oswald Chambers

The thing that approaches the very limits of God’s power is the very thing we as disciples of Jesus ought to believe He will do. Oswald Chambers

Lord, I know you can fix this mess with Harper Collins. Please fix.

Stop Doubting and Believe …

John 21

Stop Doubting and Believe ...“Stop doubting and believe.” John 21:27

“Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believed in me.” John 21:29

Lord, I claim your blessing for those who believe but have not seen you. Perhaps today you will see fit to release my Caden Chronicles books from the grasp of Harper Collins. I confess that I have not always believed you would help. Instead, as Oswald Chambers said, I have believed in my own abilities. I have not believed in your almighty power apart from my understanding of it. 

Whoever Has My Commands and Obeys Them…

John 14

Whoever Has My Commands and Obeys Them...“I will ask the Father and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever – the Spirit of truth. Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me.” John 14: 16 & 21

Lord, may your Spirit of truth speak to my spirit today.

“The Father is greater than I.” John 14:28

Lord, you are greater than I. And yet, you still love me, called me, count me as your friend.

“The Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and remind you of everything I have said to you.” John 14:25 & 26

Teach me your ways, Lord. Train me to be like you. You have promised nothing is impossible with you. I ask that you fix this Caden Chronicles mess. Please move within the hearts of those at Harper Collins.

Help me to see what you are already doing in regards to my writing and books. 

 

Am I willing to be used to disciple men and women to the Lord Jesus Christ? Oswald Chambers

If you allow moral insensitivity, everyone in contact with you will suffer. Oswald Chambers

Where I Am Going, You Cannot Come…

John 13

Where I Am Going, You Cannot Come...“Whoever accepts anyone I send, accepts me. Whoever accepts me, accepts the one who sent me.” John 13:20

“Where I am going, you cannot come. Where I am going, you cannot follow, now. You will follow later.” John 13:33 & 36

“You know the Father. You have seen him. You know me. You know my Father.” John 14: 6-7

“I am in the Father. The Father is in me. ” John 14:10

“You may ask me for anything in my name and I will do it.” John 14:14

Lord, please release my two books from bondage. We have paid to have them redeemed from Harper Collins, and yet, Harper Collins continues to hold two of the three Caden Chronicles books hostage. I beg you, please move within the hearts of Merideth Bliss, Chelsea Taff, Christine Blais, and Rick Desmond. Help them to review past royalty statements to see that there have not been any returns of Skull Creek Stakeout since the second quarter of 2017 – that I purchased all remaining inventory in January 2018 and they returned rights to me (finally) in October of 2018. Help them to see that any inventory did not come from returns but from another source.

 

Pay attention when God puts you into darkness. Keep your mouth closed while you are there. Oswald Chambers.

Lord, help me to keep my trap shut during this time of darkness.

If you open your mouth in the dark, you will speak while in the wrong mood. Oswald Chambers

Lord I confess I have spouted off when I should have dove to the depths and kept quiet.

When you are in the dark, listen. God will give you a precious message for someone else once you are back in the light. Oswald Chambers.

You Should Always Pray…

Luke 18

You Should Always Pray...“You should always pray and not give up.” Luke 18:1

Lord, thank you that you finally have all our titles’ priced correctly on Amazon.

“Will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones who cry out to him day and night?” Luke 18:6

I continue to ask that you bless ALL of our titles and provide a business succession plan.

“I tell you, he will see that they get justice and quickly.” Luke 18:8

Please give me justice with regards to Harper Collins. Please allow me to grow my writing career. Also allow me to step back and let others step forward to lead LPC.

Reveal a way to have a donor / patron / sponsor plan to fund LPC.

“You are a minister and witness.” Acts 26:16

When we have visions of what Jesus wants us to be, it is important that we learn not to be “disobedient to the heavenly vision.” Do not doubt that it can be attained. ~ Oswald Chambers

Lord, this is my prayer today.
