I would just like to know what your favorite scripture is to lift you up in Gods presence?
I know theres many Godly women here on this site and I struggle with so much in my life that God is definately working with me on. We're definately a work in progress. I struggle with Anger, fear, Frustration, "Self-Control", learning to be a good stewardt Just to name a few. To spite how much I have to say on the boards, and how much I pray, I still fall short. Praise God for our Lord Jesus!
I just wanted to know what you all use to lift your spirits...what makes you smile in the Lord?
I'm sure many of you know, but I thought I would post that I'm not perfect. I don't know everything and I'm NOT better than anyone else. The only difference in me that makes me different at all is Jesus Christ. Without him...I'm no better than any dirty rag.
God Bless You All. May God continue to use you, bless you and bind you together in Jesus Christ!
Love your sister in Christ,
~Rebekah~

These scriptures have sustained me the past couple of weeks...
Psalm 57:1-2
Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast. I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me
1 Peter 5:10
May God Himself personally come and pick you up, and set you firmly in place, and make you stronger than ever.

And I have listened to this song by FFH over and over and over...
"Cover Me"
I didn't see this coming
It hit like a big surprise
Like a thief in the night
Stealing away my sunshine
Now I'm crawling on my hands and knees
Looking for the light
It hit me from the blind side
Now I don't know what to do
It hit me from the blind side
I cry out to You
I don't have any answers
Your ways are higher
Your love is stronger
And through this pain
You'll cover me
Your grace is greater
When there are no answers
And through this pain
You'll cover me
And through this pain
You'll cover me
I never thought this could happen
I'm living in my own nightmare
Are You even there?
Hanging on by a thread now
I'm begging for the pain to end
Will it ever end?
It hit me from the blind side
It's getting hard to breathe
It hit me from the blind side
The hurt, it feels so deep
And I don't have any answers
Your ways are higher
Your love is stronger
And through this pain
You'll cover me
Your grace is greater
When there are no answers
And through this pain
You'll cover me
And through this pain
You'll cover me
Now each night seems so long
I don't think I'm this strong
How many times can I ask why?
I can't believe this is real
And through this pain
You'll cover me
Your grace is greater
When there are no answers
And through this pain
You'll cover me
And through this pain
You'll cover me

Wow! That was beautiful! I'm going to take that and run with it. We've been so stressed out here...but God has been faithful. We love Him more than ever.

My favorites change from time to time, but here is one that I read often:
And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but must be kind to everyone, a good teacher and patient. The Lord's servant must gently teach those who disagree. Then maybe God will let them change their minds so they can accept the truth.
2 Timothy 2: 25-25
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6.
This is my favorite verse right now!

AWESOME, if you like to listen to sermons or music while you're at the computer.
Oooh, I love that one. In fact I think Becky and I were talking about that the other day. That should be my prayer lately, the way things have beeng going for me. :p
Rebekah, so glad you posted this. You always have a lot of kind things to say. I can't just name one, I receive a true blessing and revelation from every verse that I read. I wrote you a long post the other day, but I got cut off.
~ If God is for you, who can be against you Romans 8:31
~ By the power of His stripes we our healed
~ The joy of the Lord is our strength
~ Psalm 31:24
~ Psalm 27:1
~Psalm 121: 7-8
~ Isaiah 54:10
~ Hebrews 10:23
Psalm 68:19
"Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior,
who daily bears our burdens.
Selah
20 Our God is a God who saves;
from the Sovereign LORD comes escape from death.
Psalm 85:8 "I will listen to what God the LORD will say;
he promises peace to his people, his saints-
but let them not return to folly.
9 Surely his salvation is near those who fear him,
that his glory may dwell in our land.
One of my favorite songs that gets me through the difficulties is If You Want Me To by Ginny Owens. These are the lyrics:
The pathway is broken
And the signs are unclear
And I dont know the reason why you brought me here
But just because You love me the way that You do
I will go through the valley
If You want me to
CHORUS:
Now I'm not who I was
When I took my first step
And I'm clinging to the promise
You're not through with me yet
So if all of these trials bring me closer to You
I will go through the fire
If You want me to
It may not be the way I would have chosen
When you lead me through a world that's not my own
But You never said it would be easy
You only said I'll never go alone
So when the whole world turns against me
And I'm all by myself
And I can't hear You answer my cries for help
I'll remember the suffering Your love put You through
And I will go through the valley
If You want me to
Also, a personal favorite, the end of 2 Corinthians 7:4 Very encouraging:
I am overflowing with joy all the more because of all our affliction.
