Hi Phil, Rhonda, John, Vicki, Grant, and Everyone,
Praying without Seasing is part of loving God and loving others, as
when we love God, and others, we pray for those we love.
Last week, I was so anxious, and fineally, I gave it to Jesus, and I
broke the demonic fear and anxiety. I was dancing for Jesus,
literally. I was praising God and believing that the anxiety and fear
was all gone.
When I get a little anxious now, I remind myself, that I gave it to
God, and I did rebuke the demonic fear and anxiety.
I love praying for others.
Now, I try to remember to pray before every single meal.
I pray more than I ever have before, and I hope I continue to pray
more and more each day.
I love praying for those in need, and for those suffering. I love
comforting people, and that is why I love to tell everyone they are
loving, because they are, in God's eyes, and I want everyone to know
how much God loves them.
I want to be an encourager to everyone.
If someone is crying, and I'm comforting them, I just might cry along
with them.
Most people I don't find hard to love.
Loving you all bunches,
Pat Ferguson
