On my knees

christian 5 Minutes

Praise the Lord!!! My heart is full of thankfulness and Praises! God is Love. “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭136‬:‭1‬ ‭ESV‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/59/psa.136.1.ESV

I delight in God’s ways for my life. I desire His heart desire that no one would be lost but all people would fully know God’s love for them and receive the gift of salvation through God’s one and only Son Jesus!

I remember the day my husband and I felt stuck in 2004 after my fourth child was born! On our knees we prayed asking God to teach us His ways, so we can teach our children! “Teach me your way, O Lord, that I may walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear your name. I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify your name forever. For great is your steadfast love toward me; you have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.” Psalm‬ ‭86‬:‭11‬-‭13‬ ‭ESV‬‬

We did not know how to do this on our own. We knew we loved Jesus and listened to Scripture filled music but knew it wasn’t enough! We wanted to follow God’s ways but we were surrounded with the wrong ways and examples. I’m so thankful with all my heart for God’s Love, Mercy, Grace, and His Faithfulness! As I read Scripture today, Jeremiah 29:13 NIV, “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” I remember singing praises everyday listening to scripture in songs and hymns and praying. As I continue to read the Bible, I didn’t realize at the time when I was younger I was meditating on God’s words day and night and even my children did too! I hungered and thirst for more of God daily as His word filled my heart and mind because they were in each song. “O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory. Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. So I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my hands.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭63‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Soon our prayers led us to our church family today! I’m thankful for our sisters and brothers in Christ and how all of us are rooted and established in God’s love grow together, where God Spiritually knitting all of us together all over the world in Unity giving God endless Praise forever! Amen!

I will soon start again writing my journey. So many of my friends have said I need to write. I’ve stopped for awhile but God has placed it on my heart to start. I pray God guide me in the process. God Bless all of you! ❤️

“Incline your ear, O Lord, and answer me, for I am poor and needy. Preserve my life, for I am godly; save your servant, who trusts in you—you are my God. Be gracious to me, O Lord, for to you do I cry all the day. Gladden the soul of your servant, for to you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you. Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer; listen to my plea for grace. In the day of my trouble I call upon you, for you answer me. There is none like you among the gods, O Lord, nor are there any works like yours. All the nations you have made shall come and worship before you, O Lord, and shall glorify your name. For you are great and do wondrous things; you alone are God. Teach me your way, O Lord, that I may walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear your name. I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify your name forever. For great is your steadfast love toward me; you have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol. O God, insolent men have risen up against me; a band of ruthless men seeks my life, and they do not set you before them. But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness. Turn to me and be gracious to me; give your strength to your servant, and save the son of your maidservant. Show me a sign of your favor, that those who hate me may see and be put to shame because you, Lord, have helped me and comforted me.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭86‬:‭1‬-‭17‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory. Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. So I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my hands. My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food, and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips, when I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night; for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy. My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me. But those who seek to destroy my life shall go down into the depths of the earth; they shall be given over to the power of the sword; they shall be a portion for jackals. But the king shall rejoice in God; all who swear by him shall exult, for the mouths of liars will be stopped.”

One of the Song I listened too around 2004. Desert Rose

Song by White Heart

OverviewLyricsVideosListen

Lost in a windswept land
In the world of shifting sand
A fragile flower stands apart
There in that barren ground
Feel like the only one
Tryin’ to serve You with all your heart

And you wonder, wonder
Can ya last much longer?
This cloud you are under
Will it cover you?

Desert Rose (Desert Rose)
Dontcha worry, don’t be lonely
Heaven knows, Heaven knows
In a dry and weary land a flower grows
His Desert Rose
His Desert Rose

Sometimes holiness can seem like emptiness
When ya feel the whole world’s laughin’ eyes
If it’s a lonely day, know your on the Father’s wave
He will hear you when ya cry

And He will hold you, hold you
Your Father will hold you
He will love you, love you
For the things ya do

Desert Rose (Desert Rose)
Dontcha worry, don’t be lonely
Heaven knows, Heaven knows
In a dry and weary land a flower grows
His Desert Rose
His Desert Rose
His Desert Rose

Dontcha worry, don’t be lonely
Heaven knows, Heaven knows
In a dry and weary land a flower grows
His Desert Rose
His Desert Rose

Don’t be lonely, don’t be lonely
(Desert Rose)
Dontcha worry
(Desert Rose)
Dontcha know He’ll be with you?
(Heaven knows, Heaven knows)
He will hold your fragile heart
O Desert Rose

My name is Michelle Morgan! I love living my life for Jesus in everything I do! I love teaching, reading, gardening, cooking, running, writing, jump-rope and outdoors! I am so thankful to be a wife and mother of 10 wonderful children! My favorite is doing life together with my family and friends by learning and exploring through everyday life! I’m thankful for my husband, children and church family! If I wait for everything to be perfect, It won’t happen! So, I may have some errors in my blog, but my beautiful children right at my side! I pray to write a book while in this journey. I hope and pray all of you and your families are blessed and take a step out in faith on your journey with Jesus! Don’t let the fear of mistakes hold you back! 2 Corinthians 12:9-11, But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong

  1. Thank you for sharing! It’s amazing how we couldn’t have guessed that God would place us where we are or with the people He’s blessed us with to do life with, but ever so grateful for the divine intervention that He does in my life everyday! The little reminders of His steadfast love and how Great He truly is. And choose us individually to be His Children! Praise the Lord!

  2. I’ve always loved that song from White Heart. They were one of my favorite bands growing up.

    Keep meditating. Keep digging deeper into His Word.
