My Tea Time With Jesus

Have you ever looked at a natural catastrophe and actually seen beauty? Or in the middle of a storm, looked out and listened to the sounds whirling all around? Psalm 29:3-9 (NLT) 3  The voice of the Lord  echoes above the sea.      The God of glory thunders.      The  Lord thunders over the mighty sea. 4  The voice of the Lord  is powerful;      the voice of the Lord  is majestic. 5  The voice of the Lord  splits the mighty cedars;      the  Lord  shatters the cedars of Lebanon. 6  He makes Lebanon’s mountains skip like a calf;      he makes Mount Hermon leap like a young wild ox. 7  The voice of the Lord  strikes      with bolts of lightning. 8  The voice of the Lord  makes the barren wilderness quake;      the  Lord  shakes the wilderness of ...

Lord, set me free from negative emotions. Psalm 34:17-18 The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves such as have a contrite spirit.

Do you wish you were smarter at making decisions? Do you ever wish you had just the right answer for things? Do you ever try and "fix" things on your own and not ask for help? James 1:5-6a is the perfect answer ;-)  NLT - If you need wisdom, ask your generous God, and He will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.

You’ll get His help, and won’t be condescended to when you ask for it. Ask boldly, believingly, without a second thought. GNT – But if any of you lack wisdom, you should pray to God, whi will give it to you; because God gives generously and graciously to all. But when you pray, you must believe and not doubt at all.
