God's Wonders
Paul’s Prayer for Spiritual Growth Ephesians 3:14-21When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and kee
p you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.
Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen. (Joshua 3:14-17)
The Potter
God knows what He is doing in each of us. He is the potter, and we are His clay. He will mold us, make us, and expose us, to just enough of the right kind of pressure to form us into a flawless piece of work, that will fulfill His good, pleasing and perfect will.
When life seems hard, you are pounded, patted, and pushed, almost beyond endurance; your world seems to be spinning out of control; you feel the fiery furnace of trials; when life seems to "stink"; try this: Brew a cup of your favorite tea in your prettiest tea cup, sit down and have a little talk with the Potter.

Bless Me Indeed
There was a man named Jabez who was more honorable than any of his brothers. His mother named him Jabez because his birth had been so painful. He was the one who prayed to the God of Israel, “Oh, that you would bless me and expand my territory! Please be with me in all that I do, and keep me from all trouble and pain!” And God granted him his request.
