A chance to be real

Hey Everyone,
First I would like to apologize for not sending this out sooner, I've been down for a few days. Hope you all have had a great week so far.

Sunday Pastor Andy's sermon was titled" A chance to be real". He discussed several different chapters in the book of Psalms. How God wants us to be real with him. In Psalms, David wrote of his anger, his blessings, his fears, his love for God, he asked for forgiveness and begged God to never turn his face from him. David was real , and because of that, God loved him so much. David was a man after Gods own heart and he feared the Lord.

What are your Psalms? I want you to make a point this week to write them down, whether it be anger, frustrations, anxieties, fears, blessings or your love for God. If you want to send them to me that would be awesome.

I often wonder how many of you God reaches, If I'm doing a good job. Yes God tells me that, but sometimes we need to hear it from others. My psalm today is this: Lord, I want to thank you for all the good and most importantly the bad because of the bad, I am so in love with you Lord. I know that had I not encountered those troubles I may not be where I am today, so thank you Lord.
Psalm 71:19-21
19 Your righteousness reaches heaven, God, You who have done great things; God, who is like You? 20 You caused me to experience many troubles and misfortunes, but You will revive me again. You will bring me up again, even from the depths of the earth. 21 You will increase my honor and comfort me once again.

Lord, I pray that you would increase my faith. Lord may we all kneel before you and be as real as we can be, may you comfort us, give us peace, understanding. Lord I pray that you would open the eyes of my heart, I want to breathe you in and just as David said Lord, may you never turn your face from me, and may we all find peace in knowing that your love is the only love that endures forever. Lord I pray for blessings upon every person reading this, I pray that will will walk in boldness proclaiming your word, standing firm in our faith and not be ashamed of who we are because you loved us so much that you gave your only son so that we should live, you forgave us so long ago. May we forgive ourselves as well. I pray that you would show every eye, your will for their lives, the gifts that you have given us and may we use them to the best of our ability. Its in Jesus name I pray...AMEN!!

In Christs Love, Tabitha
