Embraceable love

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways submit to him and he will make your paths straight.  Proverbs 3:5-6  Dear God,      I trust you. I trust that you know exactly what you are doing at this very moment. I trust that you have complete control of my life. I trust that you know why I am going through what I am. I put my whole life in your hands and trust that you know exactly what will happen. Help me to trust in you with all my heart and to not lean on my own understanding. In all my ways help me to submit to you and allow you to make my paths straight. I love you, Lord.

I began to put all my worries and problems into His hands and every time I was amazed at the way He worked everything out. He really does care about what we want and what we need. Jesus bec...

 "He will cover you with his feathers and under his wings you will find refuge. His faithfulness will be your shield and rampart."    -Psalm 91:4-5     At age 8 I admitted to God that I was a sinner and needed him to save me from all the bad I had done, will do, or am doing right now. My past, present and future sins were wiped away. Heaven became my eternal home and the only thing standing between me and Heaven was my life here on Earth.       I knew I needed to read my bible and pray because I was told that's what Christians were supposed to do. So that's what I did. Or tried to do at least. I would open up my bible about a couple times a week, point to a verse, or chapter, and read it. I didn't really understand anything that I was reading though. Then when I would pray, I would pray for what I wanted, then fall asleep during my prayer. I didn't understand how anyone could read the bible and get something o...
