I Am Asking God.....


I am asking God to reveal my sin to me.
        If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth.  But if we confess our sins to Him, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.”  1 John 1:8-9

I am asking God to give me the strength to forgive myself concerning sin.
        “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.” Isaiah 43:18-19

I am asking God to take away my fears.
         “Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9

I am asking God to show me what His plans are for me.
“For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.  Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:11-13

I am asking God to please show us grace and mercy.
“If My people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14

I am asking God to be with you my friends.
“The LORD bless you, and keep you; the LORD make His face shine on you, And be gracious to you; the LORD lift up His countenance on you, and give you peace.” Numbers 6:24-26

Happy New Year!

  1. Good, Tina. When God forgives, He buries our sins in the depths of the sea. Someone wisely said, "Don't keep digging up what God has buried."
