Thoughts to Ponder

By Charlotte Lowrie

This week, I'll share some of the thoughts, questions, and insights from recent prayers and studies.

What have you done with what the Lord has given you?

Creativity is the awakening of what God instilled within us.

"Snow is silent because the weight has been lifted."

When I think I'm not learning fast enough, the Lord tells me to, "Be patient. Make peace with waiting."

We are never defeated. Times of trouble are the times to claim His victory; to restrain Satan by the authority in and of the name of Jesus.

"It isn't a matter of you trying. It's a matter of you believing in My power to carry you through all things, and that those things will work to My glory."

"You think that life centers within the mind. But the heart is where you hold your passionately held beliefs. The heart holds what is dear to man, not the mind. So it's the heart that must be cleaned. It's the heart that makes the judgment of what the mind knows and remembers."

May your Easter season be filled with His peace and joy.

I pray for my brothers and sisters in Christ around the world who are suffering persecution for His name's sake.

To Accept Jesus as Your Savior

There is only one way to gain life-changing joy and peace in your life, and that is by accepting Jesus Christ as your Savior. To accept Christ as your Savior, pray this prayer. “Lord, I am a sinner. I believe that Jesus died for my sins on the cross and rose from the grave. I turn away from my sins. I ask You to forgive me and to be my Savior. In Jesus’ name, Amen.” If you prayed this prayer, the next step is to find a Christian church and tell the pastor about your faith in Jesus. The church can guide you through baptism and your joyous growth in Christ.
