Today, I prayed and thought of those walking along that narrow, difficult path! And while praying, the Lord showed me many on this Board, so, I am sending along this word of encouragement and rest.
"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly."
Matthew 11:28-30 - The Message
(MSG)
SELAH!
Do you personally believe in the ability of the Holy Ghost to show us something that will be beneficial to others in the body of Christ? I am interested in knowing your thoughts. And one would be, is this ability only reserved for those called to pastor, or is this a general gift given to, and shared by, the laity?

I agree completly regarding being "burned out" on religion.
Religion will kill ya. Its a death trap.
There is no life in religion. Its a dead counterfiet of the truth.

Appreciate ANY prayer, brothers (and sisters). Often say a prayer when reading here or on FB or other places I see friends with challenges!

Religion is man's puny attempt to find God.
That path leads to everlasting darkness.
Christ is the only pathway God provided to Eternal Life.
If you prayed for me today, I thank you.
There are times I find myself so discouraged when visiting this board.
The arrogance, the arguing, the bickering and bitterness and sometimes downright hatred towards others is disheartening and makes me wonder why I bother to ever come to this page.
Then God reminds me that there are rays of His love, even here, and to never give up the good fight and to "Keep On The Firing Line."

So happy you received this prayer. Many will read this and not receive. It was given to me to share with those on the board who were open enough to receive the rest. He offers in the midst of the challenge of this life we live.
God bless you, and hang in there. I too, grow tired of the personal attacks, Sometimes I have been drawn into the games, and I am embarrassed to admit that some of these folks have used their ways to catch me up in a moment of anger. I remain humbled before God and those on this board who love Him and are here to lift Him up, not ourselves!
