Chelsea's Favorite Verse...and then some!

Jer 29:11For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. 
I mean. . . . . WOW! ! ! ! ! Is there any wonder that this is her life verse?! Going through anorexia, the biggest thing she has had to deal with was her thoughts. Unfortunately, her thoughts were not those that came from the Lord! God say's right here that His thoughts are of PEACE! His thoughts are NOT of evil. . . . His are to give us a FUTURE. . . . and a HOPE! This leads me to the conclusion that if OUR thoughts are on the Lord and HIS will for us. . . . then why do we believe the thoughts that deceive us? God's Word is soooo clear and so concise! God has a special future for each one of us. . . . and each future is filled with hope and peace. . . . .we are the ones who bring the strife through our actions that are NOT Christlike! We are the ones who thwart the perfect plan that God has for us for we do not always follow the path He has set before us! Now, does God use it. . . . by all means YES! Now is the time for the more I was talking about in the title of this post:
Jer 29:12Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you .Jer 29:13And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.
OOOOHHHH YEEEEEEESSSSS! ! ! We needed to read further! ! ! ! THEN you will call upon Me and pray to Me. . . . . and I WILL listen to you! ! ! ! Did you see that. . . . He WILL listen! ! ! ! Keep reading. . . . you will SEEK Me and FIND Me when you SEARCH for Me with ALL YOUR HEART! ! ! ! This is the answer! ! ! ! When I asked earlier why do we believe the thoughts that deceive us, because we do not go further in the scripture to realize this final point! We MUST call upon the Lord and pray! We must seek and search for Him! But not just seek and search. . . . seek and search with ALL OUR HEARTS! ! ! ! God has all the answers, right here in His Word! All we have to do is read, absorb, listen, and act upon what we have learned! Are you ready. . . . I pray we all are!
~Father God, I thank You so much for Your Word and for the life that it brings to us! I thank You for Your Spirit who reveals Your Word and Your heart to us! I pray Father God that You will reveal Yourself to me and to each one who loves You and longs to do Your Will! Father, I pray that You will continue to do a deep and mighty work in my life, the life of my family and friends, and in the life of each and every member of the band so that Your will might be done in the way You intended from the beginning of time! I thank You for the lives of each and every friend, family member, and people I have yet to meet! You are so mighty and so holy and I thank You and Praise You for being who You are! Father God, I pray for our Country and our leaders for they are not listening to You and they are forsaking You and who You are! I pray that You will bring each one to the realization of You and who You are! I pray for the men and women who protect our country every single day! I pray protection, but more than that Lord, I pray that You will bring them to You so that they may have eternal life with You for eternity! I thank You and I praise You in the precious blood bought name of Jesus I pray. . . . . Amen! ! ! ! !
