Hi Jen! I just wanted to tell you how timely and powerful your words have been - this has become my daily devotional and is SPOT ON with everything that is going on in my life right now (yes, lesson learned: scripture is timeless and true in teh midst of any and all circumstances). Thank you, Jesus, for using my sister Jen to speak powerfully into my heart - I pray that you will bless her abundantly and give her joy and a peace that passes all understanding! Amen!!

Great entry today, Jen! You are so inspiring. The Lord has given me the word "discernment" in the past year and I've been learning lots of lessons around that. Everything you said today is right where I am at. And thanks for sharing the verse for today - I was toying around with not working out today, too, but I guess my "mind" was just made up for me! ;) Love you more than the feeling after accomplishing a good workout.

Diana- I had no idea my website would be pulled from google. I do not believe in coincidence. To me, this is a perfect example of the Lords desire for you to understand how much He loves you, and how much He has in store for you. God loves it when we use His Word in our prayers. Tonite I prayed Psalm 34:4 out of the Message Translation for you: God met me more than halfway, he freed me from my anxious fears. Sweet dreams......Jen

I found your website through a Google search for "developing favor of God"

Jen, I think my frustration can best be described as anxiety, also like a panic attack.

Life is always a work in progress and so am I.

Please remember me in your prayers.

Diana-I cannot put into words the excitement I feel for you. I am humbled and honored to be used by Him to offer any words that will help you in your walk with the Lord. I too have experienced that "chasing" feeling. Sometimes the very thing we need to do is to stop chasing and simply be still and let the Lord speak to our heart.
I was wondering where you heard about this website. Do not feel obligated to answer. I am blessed to have you here either way!
Love-Jen

Diana-Thank you for your kind words. In addition to the Joel Osteen books, I have also watched many of his services on tv. He is on a few different networks. He often preaches about favor, and he always teaches in a very encouraging and practical manner. You can probably watch his broadcasts on the computer, I've never tried. We all have different understanding and depths of knowledge, and for me, favor is one of them. I cannot tell you why. The other thing that has helped me, is to study the very nature of God and to look at Him truly as my Father, my Dad. What parent doesn't favor their children, even when they are not doing everything perfectly? I do know that God does not require your prayers to be eloquent, He loves any word that is directed to Him from you. He looks at your heart, not your speech. He also does not want you to be anxious about anything, especially your relationship with Him! He wants the gifts He has for you to bring you joy, not sorrow. Take a deep breath an rest in Him. Jen
