The Prayer Connection

The hymn of the day:

I heard the voice of Jesus say
"come on to me and rest"
Lay down thy weary,
weary one lay down,
lay thy head upon my breast.

I went to Jesus as I was,
I was weary, worn and sad
I found in Him a resting place
and He has made me glad.

Take my yoke upon you
and learn about me,
for my yoke is easy
and my burdens are light
and my burdens are light

I heard the voice of Jesus say
"behold I freely give"
oh, the living waters, oh thirsty one,
stoop down and drink and live.

I heard the voice of Jesus say
"come on to me and rest"
You've got to Lay down thy weary,
weary one lay down,
lay thy head upon my breast.

I went to Jesus as I was,
You know I was weary, worn and sad
I found in Him, yes I found in him a resting place
oh, you know He's made... me glad.

I heard the voice, yes of Jesus say
"behold I freely give"
oh, the living waters, oh thirsty one,
stoop down and drink and live.

Oh I wonder, I wonder you could ever hear me?
I keep on calling, you've got to hear me
Oh, I'm pleading, everybody hear my plead
Oh, Jesus, hear my name, Oh Jesus
I said: "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus"
I'm pleading, I'm pleading
you've got to hear me, yeah
you've got to hear me calling
I'm calling "Jesus", I keep calling
I said Yeah..., Jesus
I've just to keep on calling,
calling your name, I just call , I just call...
Yeah Yeah, You've got to hear me, hear me
hear me, hear me calling, yes I did,
you've got to hear me
I said Yeah..., Jesus Ahh...

You've got to hear me, Jesus
I keep calling, calling your name
Oh Jesus, Oh Jesus,
I'm calling, calling your name I keep on calling
hold down my name
I pray, I pray....Yes, I'm praying
Jesus, hear my, hear my call...

Jesus said most of these words to me when He called me to be His own, at the tender age of three and not a child of a church going family it could not have been imagination. I knew little about God, in my home it was a mere cuss word, now it is the sweetest name I know.

Today's thankful challenge: I am thankful Satan sees me as a threat. Why else would he and his demons be working so hard against me? Confirmation I am doing something right..my blog.

Jesus spent much of His time in prayer with His Father and tells His followers to do as He does. On trying days, I come home, crawl up into His lap and lay my head on
His chest. He smoothes my furrowed brow and kisses away my tears. Won't you let Him do this for you? Ask Him to come into your life and hand Him all your sins, hurts, fears, and frustration. He will carry that load for you. If you would like more info on how to do this email me at the address on the left.

Sweet Heavenly Father,

We praise Your name and lay our sins at Your feet. We ask that You carry our burdens on Your strong shoulders. We thank you for loving us so much that You sent Your son to die for us. Go with us through this day, guide our steps, gaurd our lips, minds, and hearts. In Your Son's name, Amen.
