Greetings Prayer Warriors,
How great are the mercies of our Lord!
Do you ever ponder your youth? Look back on all your foolish decisions, sometimes in amusement, other times in horror? Yet in your heart, didn’t you feel the Lord would never abandon you? Perhaps naively you also assumed your sins were harmless…enough?
Our sins affect not just ourselves, but the entire Body of Christ. Each sin has a ripple effect, like a pebble or stone thrown in the lake. Those who have had near-death experiences affirm this. We are wrong to assume that sin is harmless, however we absolutely correct that He will never abandon us, at least while we are on earth. We choose our next destination, as we are given free will to follow Him or not.
Perhaps you are not leading a Godly life or maybe it’s a child, spouse or other relative that is cruising down the road to perdition. Your prayers do matter. For the Lord never tires of hearing our pleas, calling for His sheep, and offering forgiveness if they turn back to Him.
And though I say to the wicked that they shall die, if they turn away from sin and do what is just and right—returning pledges, restoring stolen goods, walking by statutes that bring life, doing nothing wrong—they shall surely live; they shall not die. None of the sins they committed shall be remembered against them. If they do what is right and just, they shall surely live. Ezekiel 33:14-16
May we never lose hope for ourselves or another. May prayers of praise always be on our lips as we rejoice in our loving Savior.
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
The rewards of prayer are eternal. Pass it on!
