Be Strong? Very Hard for us Humans

Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
You know to be strong in God and the power of his might sounds so easy. Well let me tell all of us humans how hard this is. We let all of our little daily trial make us weak in God. We think Oh this is such a little problem, I can take care of it my self, why bother God with such a small thing. Well how do we stay strong in God if were not sharing everything with him. Take your best friend on earth, don't you share all your trials with them. Well what is God if he is not the best friend we will ever have. All he wants is for us to share our lives with him. Sometimes we are not strong because we just forget to talk to our best friend in this world. I am trying to be better about this, because i want the Lord's strenght and power in my life. Now this is not a promise that we want have troubles and trials, but that if we have God with us we can be strong and handle the things that come our way so much better.

6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Oh how heavy we think the armour of God is, but that is just untrue. Because God makes us strong and powerful enough to carry this armour with us every minute of every day. My weak shoulders will not carry the armour with out the strenght of God I'm my life. I have tried to put it on by my self before and it just doesn't work as well as when I ask him to help me with each part.

6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

It plainly tells us how to stand. I forget that I can stand and fight against evil. I don't have to curl up in a ball on the ground and let evil kick me in the head. I have done this and it doesn't work you just end up with a terrible headache and you have done nothing to show God to other people.

6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 6:15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; 6:19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, 6:20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

So now we know what the WHOLE ARMOUR of GOD is, and the God will give us the strength and power to wear it. I am going to try my hardest to make God my very best friend and be strong and wear my armour with the pride of God. No matter what troubles and trials come along, I don't want to be guilty of just laying down anymore and letting evil kick me in the head. How about you, turn over every worry, care, trouble, trial, and those things that just don't seem fair to God and I believe he will give us peace. We still might have to go thru the fire but at least we will have on the armour that will protect us and we will come out victorious.

Daniel 3:14 Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, do not ye serve my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up? 3:15 Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made; well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands? 3:16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.

3:17 If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.

3:18 But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.


But if not: God is still God and he will see us thru anything.

The need to learn to keep your mouth shut.

3:5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things.
Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! 3:6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
3:7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind: 3:8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

Well my tounge is truly unruly evil, and full of deadly poison. I can take a simple conversation between too people and only hear a few key words, and not hear them in contex and then I get upset.
I am a horrible mother, I hurt my childrens feeling all the time. I don't mean too, but it happens any way. I made my sweet happy go lucky Chelsea cry just a few minutes ago. She had done nothing wrong, and I was ugly to Joshua on the phone and he had done nothing wrong either. Oh my crazy brain thought they had. I am becoming more and more parinoid. And it causes me to really hurt the people I love. My heart is broken, because I can not tame my evil tounge. I am asking God to please help me be a more pleasent person to be around.
Right now I'm in a room by myself and Rodney and the grils are in a different room. And it is all my fault. I try to make excuses because my head hurts so bad I think its going to explode. I'm stressed about this stupid port that want work because I'm going to have to have surgery to replace it, this scares me because its been in 4 years and I know I have a lot of scare tissue that could rupture a major blood vessel. This is not the girls fault. It is no ones fault its just life. I'm also waiting on results on a repeat liver test, because the first one was very abnormal (nurses words not mine).
I am sorry to all my chickies for being so hard to live with. If God looked down on me today he would not say to Satan have you considered my servent Lisa, I have failed God and I have failed my family. Sometime when my tounge runs way and hurst people I think I'd be better off dead so that they don't have to deal with crazy mama.
I dont know why I can't learn to tame my tounge, I know this will happen only with Gods help. So My Dear Saviour please help me control this unruley tounge. I think everyone would be better off if I never spoke again. If you read this please help me pray that I become a better person and that my mouth will shut up and i quit hurting the people I love.

Content in whatsover state I am

2:14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings: 2:15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; 2:16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.

Help me take this scripture and apply it to my life. I am not blameless and I sure mumur and have disputes with Vital Care and BCBS. And every month I do this over and over again. I am so tired. I try to be a person that is easy to deal with, I try to be very flexibale. But I'm tired of always being the one to have to give. Is that the way I'm suspose to let my light shine. I pray that I can deal with these things and let the Light of my Lord Jesus Christ shine to all I have to deal with in my trouble in getting the medication that lets me live a fairly normal life.



4:4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.
4:5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
4:9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
4:10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity.
4:11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
4:12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

I struggle with this scripture also. I post it a lot and it's mostly for me. I can never obtain that contement in my life. I am content that the Lord Jesus is my saviour. I am content that he will take care of me in everything. I have problems in my patients, I know God will take care of me in his time. My problem is I want to give God advice, I don't like being hunger and I hate the suffering part. But I pray that I learn to be content, and to be able to Rejoice in all things that God sends my way and I will draw strength from my trial. Pray for me.
