God gave you a gift
A gift to protect
Protecting everyone
Even those whom you never met
God gave you a gift
A gift to serve
To serve away from home
In a far and unknown place
I pray for you
Both night and day
Even though I really don�t know you
I pray for you
Though it�s not easy
God is there watching and protecting
He will never leave you
He will never forsake you
He created you
For this purpose
This purpose to protect
To protect and serve

I find myself in the center of a world that will never stop
Everyone seems to be continuously on the go
Never taking even a moment to stop and take in their surroundings
I wish people would just take a single minute out of their day
A minute to look at the beauty that God, our creator made for us
So many times God tries to show us His beauty through nature
Yet so many times, we over look them and take it for granted
If I were able to ask everyone today to do one thing
I would ask them to stop at the next flower they see and smell it
Think about where that flower came from
Why do we have to make things so complicated?
One flower is so simple, so delicate, and so beautiful
That shows how much God cares
He cares so much that He makes even the simplest things beautiful
So why wouldn�t He do that with everything else?
He does
God created man in His own image
And He is so beautiful
Therefore, if He�s beautiful and we�re made in His image
Then we must be beautiful as well
If one says they are ugly
They are letting Satan have control of what they think
And that is also saying that God�s creation isn�t beautiful
Think about it
Stop every once in a while
Look at how beautiful everything really is
And tell the Devil, he is wrong
You are beautiful

God I don�t understand
And I don�t quite know
What You have planned
What You have to show
But Lord I am here
I give You my all
Through the tears
I know I will fall
With faith and trust
You catch and carry me
Because of You, I�ve been blessed
Lord, in You, I�ve been set free

All the things that happens to me
Tears me down and builds me up
Mold me and shape me Lord
For I am in the midst of spiritual warfare
I am not alone, for we all go through it
God commands us to be strong in the Lord
Every thought I have in every situation
Every word that comes out of my mouth
Ever action that I take
God commands it all to be strong in the Lord
For this power is in the Lord not man
I claim the power of the Lord
There is nothing that comes against me
For the Lord is with me
I shall have a firm foundation
In order to grow, I receive everything
In the name of Jesus Christ
I seek God�s face, His guidance
He is my light in this journey called life
For I will become victorious in the Lord
The armor of God will be worn
Used against this spiritual warfare
I pray the Lord will bless me in my growth
For everything I do will be done for the Lord
So stand up, put on the armor of God
And fight
Victory in Jesus, amen
By Shonda Kelley
Your love is so strong
How much you forgive
No matter what I do wrong
Because of that,
You are the only reason why I live
Through all the pain and grief
You have given me rest
Through out all that, which is in my belief
I am still blessed
Even if I don�t understand
Why this is happening to me
It�s obviously what you have planned
Yet You will deliver me and set me free
