"Yet a time is coming
and has now come when the true worshipers will worship
the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the
kind of worshipers the Father seeks." - John 4:23

My Heavenly Daddy is healing
me from the inside out.

Transparency is Real.
Many times painful.

Daddy let me be secure in You only!

THE MASTER SUSTAINER


In all things, God needs to be my Master Sustainer. Not people. I do not need people to control me. Tell me what to do or not to do. Only God can supply all of my needs. Daddy I know this is not an easy task for me, but with You anything is possible. I long for Your nurturing.

"Psalm 54:4: “Surely God is my help; The Lord is the one who sustains me.”

God is our helper and Lord. He alone is worthy to be our master or controller. Yet, some of us have allowed someone other than God to become the lord of our lives. Still others of us may have become the controller.

When a human being is master of someone else’s thoughts, beliefs, words or actions, God’s rightful place is usurped. When we strive to please a person, instead of God, the burden becomes unbearable, often leading to overserving or overworking.

God, not other people, is the one who sustains us on a continuing basis. He keeps us going when we feel like giving up. When we are so exhausted that we cannot feel or even cry, he holds us up and waits for us to regain our strength. Others may push and “lord it over”, but the Lord God compassionately helps, nurtures, and sustains us.

Lord, I have allowed another person
to be more important to me than you.
Please forgive me.
I want you to be my Lord.
Thank you for helping and sustaining me
as I change my ineffective attitudes and actions.
This process is difficult,
but with your support I can make it.
