31 Days of Going From Mama to Mimi - DAY TWENTY NINE

Stories of Hope, Joy and Transition!

***

No Fear In Love...

I love this song... and if there is any anthem I want to sing over Lil' Miss, it is this one!

"Stir in me a love that's deep

A love that's wide, a love that's sweet

And help me Lord to never keep it to myself

And if my heart should dimly burn

And if my feet should fail to run

Call my name and I will come right back to You

Cause there's no fear in love

There's no fear in love..."

Go ahead... turn up the volume and let this song wash over you! 

(I encourage you to listen to the song before we pray!)

Let's pray:

Father God... 

We thank You that there is no fear in love. 

We thank You that even when worry and doubt

and unbelief and confusion begin to

whisper lies to our hearts,

we know Your Truth whispers

louder and sinks in deeper. 

We thank You that You call our name...

As we transition to Mama's and Mimi's,

the enemy throws all kinds of unknowns

that attempt to sow fear

--sometimes out in the open, 

and sometimes quietly,

almost undetected.

The cry of our heart is that

Love will chase away fear,

and faith will rise up

and take root in our hearts... 

and in the heart of this

precious new Little One, too!

We pray for peace...

and we pray for boldness and brave.

We believe they can go hand in hand!

We pray that we will not keep

Your Name or Your Love a secret

but we will shout it out from the rooftops

and whisper it soft as we are

rocking this gift (back!) to sleep!

Lord, we really DO just want

to stay close to You!

Help us to keep it

that simple!

We thank You, Jesus

for how you cast out all fear, 

for You are Perfect Love!

(1 John 4:18)

Holy Spirit, we thank You

that You are constantly interceding on our behalf

and that You reveal all truth.

When fear sneaks in,

he tells us lies that are easy to believe.

But You rush in...

You sing over us.

Help us to lean in and listen closely!

May we hear the sounds of Heaven

and the Voice of our Beloved,

as the answers to our prayers are released!

Amen!

"I wanna stay close to You

It's really that simple

I wanna stay close to You

Just as simple as this song

I wanna stay close to You

It's really that simple

I wanna stay close to You

My whole life long."

THAT is my prayer... for myself, for my Girlie and Lil' Miss... and for you too, sweet reader!

And lastly, a picture just for fun:

Can you EVEN with her adorableness?  
#Gah! #Swoon #TotesAdorbs #Preshie

Can you believe we are already almost DONE?  Tomorrow we will dig in to the topic of Healthy Boundaries a little further! No matter WHAT season you are in or what role you have... we ALL need to remember the vital importance of setting and respecting boundaries! I hope you'll join in on the conversation!
