When we feel alone…Jesus is there for us.
When we feel rejected…Jesus is there for us.
When life is cruel to us…Jesus is there for us.
In all these situations, pray, because Jesus is there for you, and will help you.

Prayer is the soul’s sincere desire,
Uttered or unexpressed,
The motion of a hidden fire
That trembles in the breast.
Prayer is the burden of a sigh`
The falling of a tear;
The upward glancing of an eye
When none but God is near.
by James Montgomery (1771-1854)
Effective Prayer #3

Effective prayer is not only about believing God is listening to every prayer, but believing that He will answer our prayers in the way in knows is best for us. God knows better than any of us, what is best for us, because He knows us better than we even know ourselves.
And we are confident that he hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases him. And since we know he hears us when we make our requests, we also know that he will give us what we ask for.
Therefore pray in the knowledge that God is listening. Pray in the knowledge that He knows what is best for us, and therefore whatever He gives us in response to our prayers, will enable us to find the greatest joy in all we do.
It’s All About Attitude

I’m sure we have all either said or heard someone say, “They have a shocking attitude”.
Everyone’s attitude towards themselves, others and situations/events around them, is all determined by you, and no one else.
Some people are naturally positive all the time no matter what’s going on in their life, while others seem to constantly see the negative in everything.
God tells us though that our attitude to life is important and that positivity towards all life throws our way is the key.
Keep a good attitude no matter what is going on in your life ~ Colossians 3:12
Unkind People

I wonder how many of you saw the title of my blog post and thought, “I wonder how many unkind people Dot is going to name and shame?”.
Well I’m sorry to disappoint you, but far from naming and shaming some unkind people, I’d like to offer you these words:
Be kind to unkind people. They need it the most.
I often wonder why some people just seem to want to be unkind to others, and why some of them even seem to enjoy it! I don’t have the answers to these questions, but I believe that these people can change in to loving and caring individuals. I therefore believe that we need to help these folks as must as possible by being kind to them no matter how unkind they are to us or others.
Who Am I?

Of the billions and billions of people who have ever lives, there is one who stands head and shoulders above the rest in terms of influence…
More schools, colleges, hospitals and orphanages have been started because of him, than because of anyone else.
More art has been created, more music written, and more humanitarian acts performed due to him and his influence than anyone else.
Great international encyclopaedias devote twenty thousand words to describing him and his influence on the world.
Even our calendar is based on his birth.
And all this he accomplished in a public ministry that lasted just three and a half years!
So who am I?
I am Jesus Christ!
Unrecoverable

We are often told that we should live life to the full because we never know what’s round the corner for us in life. Maybe that’s why we should be more careful about the things we can never recover:
- A stone…after it’s thrown
- A word…after it is said
- An occasion…after it’s missed
- The time…after it’s gone
- A person…after they die.
Life is short.
Break the rules.
Forgive quickly.
Kiss slowly.
Love truly.
Laugh uncontrollably.
And never regret anything that made you smile, enjoy life to the full.
Being Trusted
Posted: January 18, 2013 in blogging, friendship, language, life, loveTags: compliment, environment, God, Land Trusts, Organizations, secret, trust
Yesterday I spoke about the best way to discover whether you can trust someone or not (in the blog post Can I Trust You?). Today I want to consider trust from the opposite perspective. i.e. what it means to be trusted.
To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved ~ George MacDonald
Love can be felt by one person for another, but it does not need to be reciprocated. For trust to be true, there must be mutual trust between two people, as if one does not keep that trust there is no trust. Therefore to know someone trust you completely shows just how highly they respect you as a person and confidant.
If/when you find someone you can truly trust, look after that friendship because it’s one in a million!
Can I Trust You?
Posted: January 17, 2013 in friendship, life, loveTags: environment, Ernest Hemingway, Organizations, secret, trust
…a question I’m sure we’ve often considered when we’re thinking about someone.
A question which may change your life for the better, or the worse, depending on whether you get the answer right or wrong!
Ernest Hemingway once said,
The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them
I have to agree with those sentiments, because if you tell someone your deepest secrets and you do not hear of anyone else knowing of your discussions, you know you can trust the person you confided in. Why is that? Because if you can’t trust the person you confided in, I can almost guarantee that if they have told someone else of your secrets you’ll soon hear about it.
If/when you find someone you can truly trust, look after that friendship because it’s one in a million.
No Hope

There are many people in this world who feels as if their life has no hope. I personally find that very sad and am challenged to do something about that. Surely as Christians we must work together in Christ to let these people know that there is hope and that Christ can provide them with all they need.
I found myself getting very upset while watching various adverts that restarted on TV over the Christmas period, and are still continuing now – I’m sure if you’re in the UK you’ll have seen them too – various charities asking us to donate money to help them provide assistance and aid to adults, children and animals in third world countries and in our own country…boy do they pull at our heart-strings, don’t they!
I’ve now got to the stage where I have to go out the room now when these adverts are on as I just get too upset otherwise. What really gets me in these adverts is that they talk about the children and adults in these countries having “no hope”. Saying they have no hope suggests that no matter what any of us try to do for these folks, it will be futile. I however believe, as I’m sure many of you will too, that as long as there is God, there is hope.
Psalm 62:4-5 (NLT)
Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will not be shaken.
Never give up hope, because God is still here!
