The song through the whole devotion caught my atention.
Here it is on youtube and these are the lyrics.
Much Afraid by Karen Money
(www.myspace.com/karenmoney)
Once I was alone
Hiding on my own
I was much afraid
And I was very sad
Bordering on mad
I locked myself away
And one day I heard a voice call my name:
'Come away with me
My beautiful one
How I long for you to see
How lovely you will be
Come away Much Afraid'
With Sorrow by my side
Suffering as a guide
I was much afraid
But I'll go anywhere
As long as He is there
A promise that He made
And one day I heard a voice call my name:
'Come away with me
My beautiful one
How I long for you to see
How lovely you will be
Come away Much Afraid'

Super/Simple Sunday ~ SUNRISE
Over at "Amazing Grace`Mazzes Messes Miracles"
Habakkuk 3
Habakkuk’s Prayer
1 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet. On shigionoth.2 LORD, I have heard of your fame;
I stand in awe of your deeds, LORD.
Repeat them in our day,
in our time make them known;
in wrath remember mercy.
3 God came from Teman,
the Holy One from Mount Paran.[b]
His glory covered the heavens
and his praise filled the earth.
4 His splendor was like the sunrise;
rays flashed from his hand,
where his power was hidden........
...............
Interesting POWERFUL PRAYER to read and the last 3 verses "sticked to my head"!
17 Though the fig tree does not bud
and there are no grapes on the vines,
though the olive crop fails
and the fields produce no food,
though there are no sheep in the pen
and no cattle in the stalls,
18 yet I will rejoice in the LORD,
I will be joyful in God my Savior.
19 The Sovereign LORD is my strength;
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
he enables me to tread on the heights.
This is an BEAUTIFUL SUNRISE just in my neighbourhood
Have an great and blessed SONday!

Fearless friday
They do not fear bad news; they confidently trust the Lord to care for them. They are confident and fearless and can face their foes triumphantly.” ~ Psalm 112:7-8 NLT
It's a while i joined i must confess..Nowadays i spend lesser time blogging and when i do i am more on "My Journey Diamonds"That is for now the combination of spending time on the internet and putting my mind and toughts on God's word.
But we need to pray together and stand in the gap with and for eachother.......
The words ( esp in the 2nd song "My yearword" WAIT!!) in two songs draw me closer to the Lord and in prayer and strenghtend and encouraged me this week and wanted to share it with you all.......
Day by Day
Lina Sandell Berg
Day by day, and with each passing moment,
Strength I find, to meet my trials here;
Trusting in my Father's wise bestowment,
I've no cause for worry or for fear.
He whose heart is kind beyond all measure
Gives unto each day what He deems best
Lovingly, its part of pain and pleasure,
Mingling toil with peace and rest.
Ev'ry day the Lord Himself is near me
With a special mercy for each hour;
All my cares He fain would bear, and cheer me,
He whose Name is Counselor and Pow'r;
The protection of His child and treasure
Is a charge that on Himself He laid;
"As your days, your strength shall be in measure,"
This the pledge to me He made.
Help me then in ev'ry tribulation
So to trust Your promises, O Lord,
That I lose not faith's sweet consolation
Offered me within Your holy Word.
Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting,
E'er to take, as from a father's hand,
One by one, the days, the moments fleeting,
Till I reach the promised land.
Hungry I come to You
For I know you satisfy
I am empty
But I know Your love
Does not run dry
So I wait for You
So I wait for You
I'm failing on my knees
Offering all of me
Jesus You're all
This heart is living for
Broken I run to You
For Your arms are open wide
I am weary
But I know Your touch
Restores my life
So I wait for You
So I wait for You
For I know you satisfy
I am empty
But I know Your love
Does not run dry
So I wait for You
So I wait for You
I'm failing on my knees
Offering all of me
Jesus You're all
This heart is living for
Broken I run to You
For Your arms are open wide
I am weary
But I know Your touch
Restores my life
So I wait for You
So I wait for You
...

I am healthy......I am surrounded by my "loved-ones",
I have an job...i have every month an pay-check......

So todays devotion (verses) i'm linking -up and say it further that "SUPER SUNDAY" is back!!
Blessings!
In the morning, O Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation.
Psalm 5:3 (NIV)
Blessings to all of you on this sunday!
I came to this psalm because of my daily text readings.....
Daily Text is a devotional book with Bible verses and prayers for each day of the year.
In the morning, O Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation.
Psalm 5:3 (NIV)
The centurion answered, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof; but only speak the word, and my servant will be healed.”
Matthew 8:8Today's Prayer
I speak my word, but it is what you say, Lord, that creates faith and hope in me. It is only by your Word that are we healed. Thank you, my good Shepherd, for listening to this sinner and letting me know that it is never about me — it’s because of you that I have life. Amen.( Mount Carmel ministries )

HAPPY...........HAPPINESS.......HAPPY NEW YEAR !!
Genesis 30:9
When Leah saw that she wasn't having any more children, she gave her maid Zilpah to Jacob for a wife. Zilpah had a son for Jacob. Leah said, "How fortunate!" and she named him Gad (Lucky). When Leah's maid Zilpah had a second son for Jacob, Leah said, "A happy day! The women will congratulate me in my happiness." So she named him Asher (Happy).
Job 21:22
[ Fancy Funerals with All the Trimmings ] "But who are we to tell God how to run his affairs? He's dealing with matters that are way over our heads. Some people die in the prime of life, with everything going for them— fat and sassy. Others die bitter and bereft, never getting a taste of happiness. They're laid out side by side in the cemetery, where the worms can't tell one from the other.
Ecclesiastes 2:1
I said to myself, "Let's go for it—experiment with pleasure, have a good time!" But there was nothing to it, nothing but smoke. What do I think of the fun-filled life? Insane! Inane! My verdict on the pursuit of happiness? Who needs it? With the help of a bottle of wine and all the wisdom I could muster, I tried my level best to penetrate the absurdity of life. I wanted to get a handle on anything useful we mortals might do during the years we spend on this earth.
Galatians 5:19
It is obvious what kind of life develops out of trying to get your own way all the time: repetitive, loveless, cheap sex; a stinking accumulation of mental and emotional garbage; frenzied and joyless grabs for happiness; trinket gods; magic-show religion; paranoid loneliness; cutthroat competition; all-consuming-yet-never-satisfied wants; a brutal temper; an impotence to love or be loved; divided homes and divided lives; small-minded and lopsided pursuits; the vicious habit of depersonalizing everyone into a rival; uncontrolled and uncontrollable addictions; ugly parodies of community. I could go on. This isn't the first time I have warned you, you know. If you use your freedom this way, you will not inherit God's kingdom.
Psalm 67:1
God, mark us with grace and blessing! Smile! The whole country will see how you work, all the godless nations see how you save. God! Let people thank and enjoy you. Let all people thank and enjoy you. Let all far-flung people become happy and shout their happiness because You judge them fair and square, you tend the far-flung peoples. God! Let people thank and enjoy you. Let all people thank and enjoy you. Earth, display your exuberance! You mark us with blessing, O God, our God. You mark us with blessing, O God. Earth's four corners—honor him!
The N.I.V. version
Ecclesiastes 2:26
To the person who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
Matthew 25:21
“His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’

"When you call
me, I will answer
you.
I will be with
you in trouble.
I will rescue you
and honor you."
Saturday, January 1Psalm 91:15
Psalm 1
1 Chronicles 3; Acts 9:1-9
Better is a dinner of vegetables where love is than a fatted ox and
hatred with it. Proverbs 15:17
But speaking the truth in love, we must grow up in every way into him
who is the head, into Christ. Ephesians 4:15
As we enter a new year, we seek the renewing power of your love to
transform our lives. May your love move through us, motivating us to
become a rich blessing in the world. Amen

Amazing Grace through.........2010!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O13nswXrxfY
GRACE Mr. Webster defines grace as "good-will or favor", then adds, "Divine love and protection given to mankind by God". Grace is the unmerited favor of God. Unmerited? Absolutely! We cannot earn it, learn it, buy it, deserve it, but He still imparts His Grace to us, every day.
Thank You Lord for giving me/us Grace through this whole year of 2011 that will come to an end today....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8NN4fpdm40
Play this beautiful song while reading
The lyrics of a song i intended to post,but can't find it on youtube, with the same title
Emmanuel
by Steve Angrisano
Come, come, Emmanuel!
Son of God, appear.
Heaven and earth, rejoice!
Salvation is drawing near.
Salvation is drawing near.
1. O come, O come, Emmanuel,
And ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear.
2. O come, O Wisdom from on high,
Who ordered all things mightily;
To us the path of knowledge show,
And teach us in her ways to go.
3. O come, O Rod of Jesse’s stem;
From ev’ry foe deliver them
That trust your mighty pow’r to save,
And give them vict’ry o’er the grave.
4. O come, Desire of nations, bind
In one the hearts of humankind;
Make all our sad divisions cease,
And be for us the King of Peace.
Final Refrain
Come, come, Emmanuel!
Son of God, appear.
Heaven and earth, rejoice!
Salvation is drawing near.
Salvation is drawing near. (twice)
Rejoice! Emmanuel
shall come to thee, O Israel. (twice)

shine, that we may be saved. Psalm 80:19

God has made me fruitful in the land of my misfortunes. Genesis 41:52

that we may be able to console those who are in any affliction with the
consolation with which we ourselves are consoled by God.

The second Candle of .." THE WAY".....
The Second Candle (The Candle of the Way)
The second candle shows that Christ is the Way. Humans are lost in sin and Christ is the Light sent into the world to show them the way out of darkness.
———-
I am not worthy, Master and Lord,
that you should come
beneath the roof of my soul;
Yet, since you in your love for all people
wish to dwell within me,
in boldness I come before you.
You command “Open the gates!”
Gates you alone have forged;
And you will come in
with love toward all, as is your nature.
You will come in and enlighten my dark reasoning.
I believe you will do this,
for you did not send away
the harlot who came to you with tears,
nor cast out the repenting publican,
nor reject the thief
who acknowledged your kingdom.
You did not forsake the repentant persecutor,
the apostle Paul, even as he was.
But all who came to you in repentance,
you counted in the band of your friends;
You, who alone lives in glory forever,
now and unto the endless ages.
— St. John Chrysostom (347-407)

A Christmas Prayer
( At " My Journey Diamonds" more about Advent in Dutch)
Loving Father,
help us remember the birth of Jesus,
that we may share in the song of the angels,
the gladness of the shepherds,
and worship of the wise men.
Close the door of hate
and open the door of love all over the world.
Let kindness come with every gift
and good desires with every greeting.
Deliver us from evil by the blessing
which Christ brings,
and teach us to be merry with clear hearts.
May the Christmas morning
make us happy to be thy children,
and Christmas evening bring us to our beds
with grateful thoughts,
forgiving and forgiven,
for Jesus' sake.
Amen.
– Robert Louis Stevenson
