Hello, I'm Currently Separated and I'm taking Course 2: Renewing Your Mind and want to Praise Him about my answer to a specific prayer I had.
I am finally starting to feel connected to my HH. I had to take my EH for a medical procedure and had to pick him up at the OW's house and return him there. (I did not go inside or speak to the OW).
This morning I got in touch with my HH, and we had a discussion. I asked Him to accompany me today and to help me keep my lips zipped and help me to be kind and gentle. I pictured Him standing next to me all day. I told my HH that I would not disobey His word, and needed His help all day to keep that promise. I wanted Him to be pleased with my actions.
With the help of my Sweet Lord, I was able to do exactly that! And, I was able to show genuine support and concern for my EH with positive words. My EH called later to thank me, but although it was considerate of him, I did not feel like I "needed" his thanks, because I know that I acted in a way that my Lord would be proud. Before I go to bed tonight, I plan on a praise session with my HH with gratitude for all His help and support today. With His continued grace and loving-kindness, I can get through this crisis and tough situations without falling apart. Thank-you Lord!
Ephesians 3:20 Amplified Bible "Now to Him who is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work within us."
It was definitely His power at work within me today. Many people would think that I was nuts to go to the OW's home to get my EH. I really need the Lord's strength today and grace.
Psalm 37:5 Amplified Bible "Commit your way to the Lord; Trust in Him also and He will do it."
He did do it! I would, at least the old me would never-never-never have done this!
John 16:24 Amplified Bible "Until now you have not asked [the Father] for anything in My name; but now ask and keep on asking and you will receive, so that your joy may be full and complete.
I asked my HH today to come with me and I just imagined Him standing right next to me the whole day. He came through!

Do you want to PRAISE Him for how He's changed you to do what you'd think is impossible? Aren't you thankful that Madison shared this with you an Encouraging Woman?
Remember, Matthew 7:13-14 tells us to “Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide, and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter by it. For the gate is small, and the way is narrow that leads to life, and few are those who find it.”
And Psalm 100:4 tells us HOW to Enter— “Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name.”
Be sure to submit a Praise Report today and enter through that narrow gate few ever find!
