Count Your Blessings 1.

Refrain: Count your Blessings, name them one by one, Count your Blessings, see what God hath done! Count your Blessings, name them one by one, And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done. ******* ^^^ ******* 2. Are you ever burdened with a load of care?

Pray For Blessing It is not enough for the believer to begin to Pray, nor to Pray correctly; nor is it enough to continue for a time to Pray. We must patiently, believingly continue in Prayer until we obtain an answer. Further, we have not only to continue in Prayer until the end, but we have also to believe that God does hear us and will answer our Prayers. Most frequently we fail in not continuing in Prayer until the Blessing is obtained, and in not expecting the Blessing. Those who are disciples of the Lord Jesus should labor with all their might in the work of God as if everything depended upon their own endeavors. Yet, having done so, they should not in the least trust in their labor and efforts, nor in the means that they use for the spread of the truth, but in God alone; and they should with all earnestness seek the Blessing of God in persevering, patient, and believing Prayer. Here is the great secret of success, my Christian reader. Work with all your might, but never trust in your work. Pray with all your might for the Blessing in God, but work at the same time with all diligence, with all patience, with all perseverance. Pray, then, and work. Work and Pray. And still again Pray, and then work. And so on, all the days of your life. The result will surely be abundant Blessing. Whether you see much fruit or little fruit, such kind of service will be Blessed. -- George Muller +*+*+*+*+*+*+ -- Colossians 1:3-6 3 We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we Pray for you, 4 because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all the saints -- 5 the faith and love that spring from the hope that is stored up for you in heaven and that you have already heard about in the word of truth, the Gospel 6 that has come to you. All over the world this Gospel is bearing fruit and growing, just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and understood God’s grace in all its truth. -- Jeremiah 17:7-8 7 But Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in Him. 8 He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit." -- 1 Chronicles 4:9-10 9 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. 10 He was the one who Prayed to the God of Israel, "Oh, that You would Bless me and enlarge my territory! Let Your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain." And God granted his request. -- Matthew 7:7-8 7 "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. -- Philippians 4:6-7 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
