My Prayer to the Lord

O Lord, my heart is full and bubbling over with joy of you. The sharp pain I feel is my love for you bursting forth. It is hard for me to express my love for you in words, for words cannot explain what I feel inside.

Trust Me

Trust me and do not worry for I am with you. I have called you out of darkness into my glorious light! (From Ch II)

Living Water

Out of the depths of one's innermost being will flow rivers of living water, as you turn to me and let me fill you. This spring within will never cease or run dry if you keep your heart centered on me. Only when you let other concerns and cares take my place a drying up begins. This wellspring continually flows as long as I am the very center and core of your being.

Do you ever wonder why some people are more joyful than others? The following is a passage from my book: The joy within the heart of my believers is a joy the Holy Spirit gives. It is a bubbling up of happiness and contentment, an inner peace that springs forth and gently falls as a fresh spring rain. When others smell this fragrance of joy they realize something is missing in their lives.

The following is from Chapter 2 on prayer: Put aside all hurts of the past. Do not dwell on them, but be thankful for them, for they have helped you to become the loving, caring person you are today. Be thankful in all things. Forgive as your heavenly Father has forgiven you.

The following is from a message in the chapter on Family and is titled "Children are a Blessing"
Children truly are a blessing from me. Delight in them and learn from them. Watch their simple ways, their friendly smile, and their love. They can be so giving, giving freely without anything expected in return. They are very trusting, knowing they will be provided for. They never worry if there is enough to eat or where they will sleep. Take a lesson from these little ones and become as a little child. This is what pleases me, for then your faith is pure and simple. It is when you are as a little child that your prayers are most readily answered!

As I observe my little grandchildren, the above message is so true! Lord, help me to become like a little child in my faith!

audio book

I have been listening to my audio book while I am working around the house. I downloaded it to my i-pod so that makes it easy to listen to. My husband Ray worked as a radio announcer when we first met and of course I fell in love with that golden voice (as well as him) He later worked in television, so he has had alot of experience with voice work. He is the narrator of the audio book and does an outstanding job. So check it out as I know you will enjoy listening to the book. It is a free download when you purchase the book. The last page of the book gives instructions how to download it from Tate Publishing.Com.

I am really pleased with the look of my new book, but its the content inside that I know will help you the reader draw closer to God. The tremendous love He has for each one of us is revealed in Chapter 1 titled Love. We all need to have that assurance that God knows everything about us and cares about every detail of our lives. Do you know that He has favorite names that He calls you and they are most endearing? You will feel His love pouring out to you as you let Him speak to you in the stillness of your heart.
