Just for Today...Pray

One of the best attributes of this
journey and walk with Christ,
is the emphasis and challenge
or call to action
is
JUST FOR TODAY
I belive I have become so overwhelmed
with all the many
items needed to bring me closer to
Christ...
that I have become paralyzed.
I can tackle
JUST FOR TODAY

I can read a few scriptural passages
and ponder upon those words.

I can PRAY over suggested phrases
that will interrupt the repetitious words
of my infrequent prayers.

PRAY
* "for enlightenment in areas I need to make 
improvements"

* "for the desire to make those improvements"

POINTS to REMEMBER
* "process of becoming a disciple has to do with learning--
the biggest part of learning is making mistakes."


* "this is not a journey for perfect people--
it is for those seeking a path to be perfected
THROUGH
CHRIST"

Do not concern yourself 
with ways you have missed the mark
 in days gone by...
Do not fret over the lengthy list
of tomorrow's 
accomplishments...
"Just FOCUS on TODAYand the Savior will meet you there."

* (RP)
JUST FOR TODAY
PRAY

The First Step

"The journey of a thousand miles,
begins with one step..."
"Come Follow Me" bt Mark Mabry
"To truly KNOW someone,
try walking in their
shoes..."


DISCIPLE: learner
DISCIPLE of CHRIST: learning to be like JESUS
How would He feel?
What would He think?
What would He do?

He May Know to Succor His People


My sister shared the following with me:

Here is the quote from Elder Holland,
 "teaching about the word SUCCOR,
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland said,
 “SUCCOR is used often in the scriptures
 to describe 
Christ’s care for 
and attention to us. 
 It means literally ‘to run to.'
What a magnificent way to describe
 the Savior’s urgent effort in our behalf. 
 Even as he calls us to come to him 
and follow him, 
He is unfailingly running to help us”
 in reference to Alma 7:12
 I added,
 “I love knowing that not only
 is He reaching out to me always
 (His hand is stretched out still), 
He is running to me!  
I feel it!

Chelle Bodine

RUNNING to HELP ME!
WOW!
 I wonder if any Artist
has portrayed the
Savior running to SUCCOR
 His people.

The Invitation

"Jesus lovingly beckons each one of us and then patiently waits with outstretched hands...for us
to accept His invitation to walk with Him." (RP)

I accept.

Make sure you begin each day, with prayer to invite
the influence of the Holy Ghost to guide you
as the Savior leads you by the hand.

"He yearns to walk each step with me."

Bring verses Send

"In the scriptures we learn that we are to BRING people to Christ, not SEND them..."

Have ye any that are afflicted in any manner? BRING them hither and I will heal them
(3 Nephi 17:7)


I am here.

Just Jesus

I need a place JUST for my thoughts on JESUS.
He has always captivated my heart and mind.
Then daily living, trial and challenge put Him at a distance.
Needless to say,
I miss Him.
I feel empty and at a loss.

For Christmas,
I received,
"Walking with the Savior"
by
Rena Peterson
and so the journey begins...

I am on a journey to seek, find and KNOW JESUS.
