Favorite Scriptures

I have many favorite scriptures! When I was a pre-teen, my best friend got mad at me one time and it broke my heart! God led me to the last part of Psalm 30: 5 -
"Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning." And I have found that is so true.

When my son Tony was sick, Mark Pope, one of the UK Wildcats shared his favorite scripture with him...Joshua 1:9 -
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; Do not be afraid nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." Now it is one of my favorites.

Our church, Bethel Baptist, is a very missions minded church so I love Acts 1:8 -
"But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."

Psalm 19:14 is what I pray every morning when I get up...

"May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, my Strength and my Redeemer."

One of our favorite boys in Pascagoula, praying during their backyard Bible School!!!

Oh the power of prayer!!
