Pray for Others

Diane Reid

…and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. James 5: 16 Without trying to take anything out of context, can I share with you how I started my day?  I woke up ten minutes before the alarm went off and lay there thinking about my day.  Then I was prompted to pray for people – not the usual prayers I offer up for my family and friends, but prayer for a totally different group of people – people I may never meet this side of heaven – people living in abusive homes or having just left abusive … Continue reading Pray for Others

Toxic Words

Diane Reid

Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers. 3 John 1:2 Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. Ever hear of that old saying?  I grew up with that . . . that and 5 siblings. We all knew the power of words to hurt. We used them against each other a lot. My parents never intervened in a fight unless it became physical. I guess they really believed that words don’t hurt. I learned to use words to fight and I fought well. It took … Continue reading Toxic Words

Interruptibility

Diane Reid

Jesus stopped Mark 10:49 Jesus was a busy man.  He only had three years to fulfill His mission here on earth.  He had many things to say, important things to say and so little time.  He was preparing His disciples for the things to come – primarily His crucifixion – while they walked. The disciples and the crowd that was following Him had so many questions so when a blind beggar began calling out to Jesus, they told Him to be quiet.  They didn’t want Jesus interrupted or was it that they didn’t want their agenda interrupted? I don’t know, … Continue reading Interruptibility

A Horse of a Different Color

Diane Reid

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 Years ago, when I lived in Montana, I bred Appaloosa horses.  Appaloosas are the horses with spots. Appaloosas weren’t all that popular then, at least not where I lived, and I took a good deal of ribbing about them.  They were seen as inferior by my friends who preferred Thoroughbreds or Quarter Horses or Arabians.  I didn’t mind; it was good fun and I loved the breed.  Besides, in the local competitions we were fond of, I invariably came home with more ribbons than they … Continue reading A Horse of a Different Color

Step Into Shalom

Diane Reid

You will keep him in perfect peace,Whose mind is stayed on You,Because he trusts in You. Isaiah 26:3 The other night during preservice prayer time, the Lord gave me this word: Jesus sees you in your deepest point of need even if no one else does. Jesus isn’t looking past you or over you. He sees you in your darkest moments, in your moments of hopelessness, in your times of doubt and disappointment. He is not disappointed in you. He says to you Come, step into Shalom. Shalom means peace but so much more, it encompasses complete physical, emotional, financial and spiritual well-being. Shalom also includes restored … Continue reading Step Into Shalom

God’s Covenant of Peace

Diane Reid

Though the mountains be shaken    and the hills be removed,yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken    nor my covenant of peace be removed,”    says the Lord, who has compassion on you. Isaiah 54:10 Mountains may not be shaking around you and hills may not be removed, but there are so many other things that can rock our world – disease, relationships falling apart, bills stacking up, death of a loved one. The list goes on and on. Some of what rocks our world are things that are out of our control and some are the result of poor decisions we made. No judgement here, I … Continue reading God’s Covenant of Peace

Take Time to Play

Diane Reid

A joyful heart is good medicine… Proverbs 17:22 Standing in line at Walmart the other day, a boy about 4 years old came up to me and showed me his cookie he had gotten in the bakery. I saw the chewed up cookie in his mouth before I saw what was left of his cookie in his hand. He was shopping with his grandfather. I asked the boy what he was doing today and he said playing. Just playing. But he was quick to add that he plays everyday! We must have become fast friends because when he left, he gave me … Continue reading Take Time to Play

Double Minded Man

Diane Reid

If you don’t know what you’re doing, pray to the Father. He loves to help. You’ll get his help, and won’t be condescended to when you ask for it. Ask boldly, believingly, without a second thought. People who “worry their prayers” are like wind-whipped waves. Don’t think you’re going to get anything from the Master that way, adrift at sea, keeping all your options open. James 1:8-9 MSG I like how the Message Bible puts this. Other versions refer to this as being a double minded man. I believe in divine healing. I believe it is for today, for you … Continue reading Double Minded Man

Through My Mother’s Eyes

Diane Reid

I had a dream one night.  In this dream, I woke up to find  a woman sitting in a chair by my bed.  She had been watching me sleep, for how long, I don’t know.  She was looking at me with total love and adoration in her eyes.  Her face radiated with pride.  I felt the love she felt; it was almost palpable.   But I was puzzled as I didn’t know who this woman was.  She looked familiar but I couldn’t place her. She looked like my mother but I knew she wasn’t my mother. How did I know this?  Because … Continue reading Through My Mother’s Eyes

Real, But Not Final!

Diane Reid

I am the Lord, your Healer Exodus 15:26 I suffered a head injury when my grandson’s hang board fell on me. I had forgotten it was there and pushed his door open slightly to bring him some food. He is recovering from a fractured knee due to boulder climbing and has difficulty walking to get food and so I deliver! Pushing the door open a tiny bit was all it took and bang – the hang board hit me on the head and I hit the ground. A bump the size of half a ping pong ball sprang up. So … Continue reading Real, But Not Final!
