Show me your ways Lord


              Psalm 25    New International Version

1  In you, Lord my God, I put my trust. 2  I trust in you; do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me. 3  No one who hopes in you will ever be put to shame, but shame will come on those who are treacherous without cause. 4  Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long. Remember, Lord, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old. Do not remember the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you, Lord, are good.

Good and upright is the Lord; therefore he instructs sinners in his ways. He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way. 10  All the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful toward those who keep the demands of his covenant. 11  For the sake of your name, Lord, forgive my iniquity, though it is great. 12  Who, then, are those who fear the Lord? He will instruct them in the ways they should choose.13  They will spend their days in prosperity, and their descendants will inherit the land. 14  The Lord confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them.

15  My eyes are ever on the Lord, for only he will release my feet from the snare. 16  Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted. 17  Relieve the troubles of my heart and free me from my anguish. 18  Look on my affliction and my distress and take away all my sins. 19  See how numerous are my enemies and how fiercely they hate me! 20  Guard my life and rescue me; do not let me be put to shame, for I take refuge in you. 21  May integrity and uprightness protect me, because my hope, Lord, is in you. 22  Deliver Israel, O God, from all their troubles!

Saying Goodbye By T. D. Jakes




                           Saying Goodbye

  By T. D. Jakes
There are people who can walk away from you.
And hear me when I tell you this! When people can walk away
from you: let them walk. I don't want you to try to talk another person into
staying with you, loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see
you, staying attached to you. I mean hang up the phone.
When people can walk away from you let them walk. Your
destiny is never tied to anybody that left.
The bible said that, they came out from us that it might be
made manifest that they were not for us

For had they been of us, no doubt
they would have continued with us. [1 John 2:19]
People leave you because they are not joined to you. And if
they are not joined to you, you can't make them stay.
Let them go.
And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person it just means
that their part in the story is over. And you've got to know when people's
part in your story is over so that you don't keep trying to raise the dead.
You've got to know when it's dead.

You've got to know when it's over. Let me tell you
something. I've got the gift of good-bye. It's the tenth spiritual gift, I
believe in good-bye. It's not that I'm hateful, it's that I'm faithful, and
I know whatever God means for me to have He'll give it to me. And if it
takes too much sweat I don't need it. Stop begging people to stay.
Let them go!!

If you are holding on to something that doesn't belong to
you and was never intended for your life, then you need to......
LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to past hurts and pains ......
LET IT GO!!!

If someone can't treat you right, love you back, and see
your worth.....
LET IT GO!!!
If someone has angered you.
LET IT GO!!!
If you are holding on to some thoughts of evil and
revenge......
LET IT GO!!!
If you are involved in a wrong relationship or
addiction......
LET IT GO!!!
If you are holding on to a job that no longer meets your
needs or talents
LET IT GO!!!
If you have a bad attitude.......
LET IT GO!!!

If you keep judging others to make yourself feel
better......
LET IT GO!!!

If you're stuck in the past and God is trying to take you to
a new level in Him........
LET IT GO!!!
If you are struggling with the healing of a broken
relationship........
LET IT GO!!!
If you keep trying to help someone who won't even try to
help themselves......
LET IT GO!!!

If you're feeling depressed and stressed ..........
LET IT GO!!!
If there is a particular situation that you are so used to
handling yourself and God is saying 'take your hands off of it,' then you
need to......
LET IT GO!!!
'The Battle is the Lord's!'

             The Lords Prayer

Our Father, who art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name, Thy
Kingdom Come, Thy Will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this
day, our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who
trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from
evil.
For Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory,
forever.
Amen.
