Don’t dwell in your troubles but trust in the Son

Don’t dwell in your troubles but trust in the Son
I am healed when I live at your feet
You draw close to me and my troubles neutralize.
As I remember the cross, that you died
I feel such peace and your strength flows in my mind
Hosannah to the King
Hosannah to the King.

You died for me on the cross full of pain
The Lord sent his son to die for my gain
Now I am freed from my guilt and my sin
Let us sing our praise out to you our holy King
Hosannah to the King
Hosannah to the King.


But it not just about singing on a Sunday morning, or a Wednesday.... it is about a way to live. You see when you invite the Son of God, Jesus to come into your life, He comes.

After a time you start to realise that all you have to face in the daily challenges, you face with Him. When you feel you can’t cope that usually means you forgot to pray in the troubles, or ask Him to help you deal with difficult situations.

Now I am not saying that life in the Son is trouble free, no far from it for too many people in this world are out to get what they can regardless of you or others feelings. What I am saying is this: you are not alone.

You can ask for His help and you will be amazed at the words and patience that comes out of your own mouth as you speak to another who is driving you crazy or making you personally feel hopeless or very angry.

You will find you can handle difficult situations and even arguments with others in a calmer way. You find others will back down more and see your point of view.

Things that looked impossible to solve become solved, some things take longer than others I am not promising a McDonalds instant fix here but I am promising that the Lord is faithful and wishes to share your life and help you cope with all that that may mean.

Trust is hard to learn when others around you have let you down in life, it takes time to understand and realise that the Lord Jesus is really real and really with you.

You will never know his comfort or presence if you never stop from you busy world and give him time to reach you.

I heard it said a radio broadcasts and you can listen it to easily. Well I am here to tell you that Jesus also broadcasts His love and grace and wisdom to you through His spirit, don’t ask me how it works I don’t know... but it is possible to listen to God and hear from Him but in order to learn you must be willing to stop and try.

It can take some people years to realise that they need Jesus to help them when all around them is going well, but ask those who have suffered and you will find they have a deeper sense of the Lords presence. Why? Because they really learnt they needed to listen to Him.

When Jesus asks you to give your life to Him, He meant all of your life.

It’s a hearts cry to really wish to know Him. A deep deep need to know Him will be answered for He desires to be so known by you.

I don't write these words without experience for I have MS so I know what it means to really need to hang on to Jesus when all hope seems lost, for when I was diagnosed it was a shock to my system but He came so close to me I could feel His comfort and love within me. So the words I share are truth. My future plans are in Him now for I am not sure what my future will hold but He knows me and what I will be able to cope with.

I need Him everyday.

This body is not true life

I can say with experience that this body is not just our life. Why? Well I have had a stroke.

So that means for a time parts of my body did not work. It means my brain worked but the flesh body around me felt like it was just a machine, a covering. Why? Simple it would not do what it should do but my brain, the real part of me, those thoughts and connections in my head; or to put it another way my soul was truly alive but it worked independently to my body.

Jesus said I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life and no one can get to the Father God without me. So then does that not point out the fact that there is more than we can possible be aware of now? Yes.

I have faith regardless of whether my body is in working order or not because I have learnt through prayer and through reading the bible that there is more than the life that I can see on earth.

I did not ask for proof, for I have faith. But after suffering this stroke now I have proof!

When you are tired and exhausted with trying to find happiness in this world but find nothing fills the hole, the need for connection, to be known inside; try Jesus. Pray and ask him to show you that he is real. That he wants to connect with you. To know you.

Jesus died a painful death to pay for all your wrong doings, your mistakes, on earth. That means you don't have to try to get right with God. Jesus, he is God by the way, already knows and accepts all that you have done.

Religion teaches you to be pure and holy before God. Jesus teaches you that he has forgiveness, grace, love and mercy all waiting for you to know. All you need to do is ask him to come into your life. At some point after you have known Jesus for some time you will find that you have a sense of peace and worth that you have not been able to receive from others.

Repentance means you turn around from your own way of living to ask Jesus to come and share the rest of your life with you.

It's that simple.

You get a promise that Jesus will never leave you. And Jesus promises to guide you home to heaven at your earth death. In heaven you are eternally happy with Him but also with those who helped you in your Christian walk. You see Jesus provides himself but also a ready made family for you to know.

Jesus is waiting for your invitation to come into your life today.

Think of Him

Think of Him suffering agony paying for my sin,
as I watch from the safety of my fallen mind
I hear Him call out to His Father, crying out His mind
I can’t follow what is happening, yet I hurt inside
Then He dies, people are leaving but they have nowhere to go
I imagine Him fallen – forgotten - but I can’t get Him out of my mind
I remember Him but the world has forgotten why it happened to Him
Busy lives, so much suffering. Did He die in vain?
Time will tell.
