Small Straws by Marsha Burns
When it feels like you are stuck and cannot move beyond where you are, take a breath and wait. Get in the flow of the Spirit instead of trying to get everything around you to conform to your schedule. To everything there is a season and a time for all things. Relax and move with spiritual purpose.
Ecclesiastes 3:1 To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.

Competition builds skills, want to be a better chess player? play with someone who has more experience. Want to be a better carpenter? work with someone who has mastered the craft. Want to be better at a sport? Play with others who have worked to be the best they can be. 1 Corinthians 9:24, “All those who compete in the games use strict training. They do this so that they can win a crown. That crown is an earthly thing that lasts only a short time. But our crown will continue forever.” Whatever endeavor you choose, build your skills so in the future you are able to pass those skills to someone else.

Thought for Today: Shabbat August 12:

Oh the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with our Adonai Elohiym; having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words but to pour them out.

Healing Prayer:
Mighty Abba and YHVH, thank You for Your Word, which is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. I claim Your promises of healing for my body as I pray to You now. I rejoice in the fact that You want me to prosper and to be in health. Thank You my Adonai and my YHVH. Thank You for Yeshua, the Great Physician, Who was wounded for my transgressions and bruised for my iniquities. I believe Your Word Abba, that with His stripes I am healed. Thank You for forgiving me all of my iniquities and healing all my diseases. I receive Your healing power as I pray. In the Name of Yeshua my Healer, I ask and I receive, that my joy maybe full. Thank You for healing me and giving me fullness of joy. It is wonderful to know that the healing power of Yeshua Moshiach is available to me today in just the same way as it was available to lepers and other sick people in Yeshua’ day. My Adonai Yeshua Moshiach is the same yesterday, today and forever. Thank You my Abba. Realizing these things therefore, I diligently hearken to Your Voice and to Your Word, my Abba. Help me always to do that, which is right in Your sight, to give ear to Your Commandments and to keep all Your statutes. Thank You for Your promise of Your Word, which assures me that You will keep all diseases from me, for You are Adonai YHVH who truly does heal me. Restore health to me my Abba and heal me of all my wounds. Send Your Word and heal me, for I realize that Your Words are life and health to me. Thank You for the great power of Your Word Abba, which is shaper than any two-edge sword and is able to pierce even to the division of soul and spirit and of joints and marrow and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of my heart. Through the power of Your Word and the blood of Yeshua, I claim Your promise of healing for my body and I thank You that Yeshua is my High Priest Who knows how I feel. Therefore, I come boldly to Your Throne of grace my Adonai and my YHVH, there to obtain Your mercy and to find Your grace to bring healing to me. Thank You for healing me my Abba, my Adonai and my YHVH. In the mighty Name of Yeshua I pray, amen.

"I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear, but now mine eye seeth thee.

Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes."

Job 42
