A Prayer to Be Kept by the Power of God

Posted by Nan Jones | Apr 21, 2019 | Uncategorized |

Lord, what a Mighty God You are! You amaze me with Your protective instincts when it comes to Your children. You guard us as a sentinel, hedging us in from the front and the back. You serve as our rear guard causing goodness and mercy to follow us all the days of our lives.

Thank You for going before us in all things, making a way where there seems to be no way. You are in my tomorrows well before I get there, therefore I need not be afraid. You are my strength, therefore I need not worry about being overcome by weakness and weariness of soul.

Lord, the power of Your Holy Spirit is within me — Your resurrection power that defies all odds and explodes with miraculous provision and intervention — keeps me.

Gethsemane: A Place of Excruciating Choice

Posted by Nan Jones | Apr 17, 2019 | Uncategorized |

After sharing the Passover meal, Jesus and His disciples walked the dusty roads of Jerusalem to the Mount of Olives, talking as they went — Jesus trying to prepare them for what was ahead.

They came to the Brook Kidron, hoisted their robes high above their ankles and crossed over to the Garden of Gethsemane — the garden of the olive press. Olive trees filled the orchard, their gnarled limbs weaving webs of grace and beauty.

It was a favorite place for Jesus to take His disciples.

The symbolism is great.

A Prayer When You’re Stuck Between Expectations and Reality

Lord, I trusted You. I really did. I shared all of my dreams with You, my heart’s desires, my plans — I gave them all to You because I trust in Your faithfulness. I know Your goodness.

I know that I know You hear me when I call out to you … and You respond.

But now everything seems to be on hold. Now, sometimes, I wonder if You care about my disappointments, my difficulty in seeing everything come to a halt while I wait.

That Moment When You First See Jesus

I tucked my legs beneath me and curled up on the couch sipping a warm cup of coffee. Opening the pages of My Utmost for His Highest, I read Oswald Chambers’ wise words:

“Being saved and seeing Jesus are not the same thing. Many are partakers of God’s grace who have never seen Jesus. When once you have seen Jesus, you can never be the same, other things do not appeal as they used to do.”

I pondered these words for quite some time seeking understanding.

A Prayer to Glorify God in the Fires of Affliction, Even When It’s Hard

Posted by Nan Jones | Apr 7, 2019 | Beauty from Ashes, beyond the veil, bible devotions online, Finding God's Presence, Nan Jones author and speaker |

O Lord, You are the Most High God, Maker of heaven and earth. You are my God and I praise You.

I worship You.

I adore You, even when I can’t understand — even when the fires of affliction burn hot and seek to destroy me.

Even then.
