It's really quite simple, isn't it?
And yet, even in this, I need God's help to do it.
When my thoughts become anxious and worried,
graciously God's Spirit reminds me what to do...
"talk to Me about everything,
thank Me for what I've already done".
When I do, peace comes to my mind and heart.
still following,

I LOVE your prayer mobile! God wants to be involved in every aspect of our lives. I love that we can talk to Him as a friend. Have a blessed Sunday!
ReplyDeleteGod has been speaking to me to pray about some of the things I used to pray about that I had let drop by the wayside. Nothing is too small or too big to pray about!
DeleteYour prayer mobile is so pretty. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sarah!
DeleteLove your thoughts and your prayer mobile, Elizabeth. Blessings for 2014.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Patricia! God bless you this year as well!
DeleteI love the little birdies and the verse.
ReplyDeleteThank you, friend!
DeleteIt is so very true & I surely need to be reminded. I am so glad that He calls me to Himself when I forget!
ReplyDeleteMe, too! God has been reminding me to pray about some things that I used to pray about but have let drop away. Nothing is too big or too small to pray about!
DeleteBeautiful mobile. There are times I can judge myself and say I'm not spending time with Him, but truth is while I could spend more time in prayer with Him I do feel as though I'm always talking to Him. He is just such a delight to always have near. Such comfort. He does bring peace and comfort to your heart! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Saturday! Oh..I added a page to my blog that focuses on my word for 2014. I so love that we have the same word and look forward to seeing how God uses this word in our lives this year.
Joy is such a beautiful word!
DeleteI'm excited to be on this journey with you!
DeleteI love the mobile... so pretty. I agree, prayer is the power connection.. I hope to increase my prayerlife this year... seeking him more and learning to listen as he answers... Thanks for the post. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Patty. Prayer is the power connection...I like that!
Deleteoh yes, Elizabeth ... and to thank Him, with some kind of expectancy, for what He's going to do ... that's the hardest prayer of all.
ReplyDeleteBut oh, how He's proven Himself over and over. So trustworthy, so faithful He is ...
Yes! Thanksgiving precedes the miracle as Ann Voskamp says!
DeleteI LOVE your prayer mobile - I think me and my girls need to make a similar one! We have a song of this verse and it's running through my head right now : ) Have you heard of Seeds Family Worship? It's Bible verses set to songs and my girls (and I) have learned so many verses this way. Each cd comes with 2 copies - 1 to keep and 1 to give away. Your grandkids might love them!
ReplyDeleteJill, what a fun project to do with your girlies. You could made the birds with more colorful card stock and scrapbooking paper for the wings.
DeleteYour prayer mobile is beautiful. What a great reminder of the scripture! Blessings!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Trinity!
DeleteSuch a beautifully simple photo and verse. Yet there is such a power in prayer. I am constantly needing my default for those anxious thoughts to be prayer. I have not arrived there yet. Blessings, Elizabeth. Love, Rachael @ Inking the Heart
ReplyDeleteI'm not always consistent at turning from worry to prayer, but I'm doing it more and more.
DeleteSo beautiful!! And so very meaningful... thanks for the refocus today! Heart Hugs, Shelly <3
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Shelly!
DeleteI love the birds and the words.
ReplyDeleteJedidja, it was a fun and easy little prayer reminder to make!
DeleteOne of my favorite scriptures, Elizabeth! Sweet little birds - what a lovely reminder to do what, as you say, should be so easy. Have a blessed week!
ReplyDeleteThanks, June! I'm so glad it blessed you!
DeleteThe mobile is lovely; the verse is encouragement for us. Blessings for this first weekend in the New Year!
ReplyDeleteBless you too, Carol! Praying that 2014 is blessed!
DeleteThank you Elizabeth. I needed this reminder!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it blessed you! I always write what I need reminded of as well. :)
DeleteJust a little note to express my appreciation for all your encouragement and wisdom in the Lord. You're a treasure.
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear friend!
DeleteBeautiful...love the mobile.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Mary!
DeleteYou blog is always so peaceful...I can imagine that your home is too with that beautiful mobile.
ReplyDeleteBlessing to you in the new year, friend!
Oh Marty, I'm so blessed that you find peace here. It's definitely God, not me.
DeleteElizabeth. Love your pray mobile. Good reminder to have around. Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you for the new year! The Joy of The Lord is your strength! Have a awesome day!
ReplyDeleteCarol
Thank you, Carol. It was a fun and simple reminder to make.
DeleteI love your mobile! I am thinking of ways to display my verses this year...this is giving me ideas!
ReplyDeleteThis morning I was reading again about "praying continually." A good reminder.
Thanks, Ginger! Are you going to do the memory verses with Ann Voskamp? I'm thinking of giving it a try...this is definitely an area that I struggle in. ( Memorizing and fasting both!)
DeleteGood thinking and sharing and reminding as usual. Thanks much.
ReplyDeleteThanks, dear one.
DeleteIsn't it totally awesome that God wants us to tell Him everything? When He asks, "How are you doing today" - He means it! Wishing you sweet blessing this week! Wrapped in warm blankets of course! LOL
ReplyDeleteYou are right, He wants us to talk to Him about everything...isn't that amazing!
DeleteI need His help too. Every day. No other way. Love your mobile!!!
ReplyDeleteLove this verse, and your prayer mobile is adorable! :)
