TGIF






If you can't give "thanks" for being set free from sin and death what can you
give thanks for?  What a way to start a week end.  

"because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you 
free from the law of sin and death."  Romans 8:2

I have never been so aware of this until recently.  I left a comment on a friends
post agreeing in prayer over the tornado catastrophe in Oklahoma.  A state 
where I also have family. People were so confused as to how God" could allow 
such a thing to happen.  I  only replied saying that God was not the cause.  
I based my reply on scripture.

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may 
have life, and have it to the full.  John 10:10  (The thief being Satan)


So celebrate and enjoy being free in God!
I pray that God will Bless you all!

Be Happy



Have you ever noticed that when the sun is shining and the birds are singing
when you get out of bed that the world seems so much better in that day.  The
minute the sky turns grey...  our mood changes.  We have been programmed 
that way since birth.  However that very mood swing has overflowed into all we
do.  If we have ample money to do the things we need or want to...  we are 
happy.  When funds are low, so are we.  and so on... and so on...  That was not
an intention of God that we be this way.  As Christians we should pray for all we
need, for every situation we have and even for the things we want or don't want
in our lives.  We should be happy in the Lord.  Our days should start with Praise,
Prayer and Thanks Giving!  Instead of worry we should be waiting expectantly
to see how God will answer!  Remember our Faith and Belief in God is always 
being tried by the devil!  It is by Our Prayers and Our Praise that we are able to
overcome him.  

For example, let us say you don't have enough money to meet the rent...  instead
of allowing the enemy to rain on your parade, start praying and praising God and
feeling it in your very spirit, "that you can't wait to see how God will help you with
this!"   Can't you just envision the enemy cowering down knowing that God has it
all under control!  ,

So live by faith, don't worry, be happy, be blessed, God is right here!  
Just thank Him!  

I pray that God Blesses You All!

A Broken Heart






As hard as it is to accept we live in a cruel world.  Definitely not what God
intended but never the less it has become such.  Being a Christian does not
make us immune to the cruelties of the world but it does give us a way out.
A way to find peace and healing of our wounded spirits.  A way to find strength
when it appears that there is no way or where to find it.  

Standing on the word of God is our first way out.  Knowing that He wants to be 
our Shield, our Protector, our Comforter, our Healer, our Salvation, He is our
everything!  He knows that troubles will come our way,  however He has in fact
already provided our way out before we need it.  When we know the what the
word of God says and His promises we always know we have a way out!  Prayer
and praise and the knowledge of His word keep us connected to God and strong 
in His ways so we can receive from Him.

I lost my son in death almost 8 years ago.  I was angry, I was hurt, I was crushed!
I truly thought I knew what a broken heart  was before he died...  I didn't know at
all!  Sadly I can tell you now that I know what a "broken heart" is now!  At the
very first I denied it was real.  How could it be so?  I had raised my children to
believe and trust in God and I trusted God with them.  Then I was angry...  My
very question being, "How could God let this happen?  I refused to pray,  I also
refused to acknowledge that God had His reasons for allowing my son's death to
happen.  I would like to tell you that at that point I had some kind of divine and
spiritual revelation. But I did not!   For years following my heart ached, I cried
often and I felt like the very breath was pushed out of me.  Nothing made any kind
of sense to me.  The depression and the oppression appeared to be taking hold of
me.  I was also taking care of my elderly and medically disabled parents during
this time.  Though I loved them both so much,  I was just performing the duties 
that were expected of me.  Sadly I became so withdrawn from life that I had to 
place my parents in a nursing home so that I could recuperate.   The pain in my
heart and spirit was so bad that I literally moved from the State I lived in to another
hoping I could lose the memories.  Because everywhere I went, everything I did,
reminded me of my son and that he was gone.  The move did not help because you
can't erase memories of your children.  They are a part of you.  Their ups and
downs.  The good times and the bad times.  Though when my boy died he was a
grown man I could vividly remember how it felt to hold him when he was an infant.
My arms ached for him.  I remembered how he had been treated badly by a coach
for little league baseball and how I went to his defense.  Then I remembered that
as he grew into an adult how hard it was to let go of him and let him become a man.
I remembered that as an adult he developed a bone condition in his feet and legs 
and was in such pain that by evening he would have to crawl instead of walk.  He
had surgeries that didn't help... but he kept going!  How he never once blamed God!
I remembered sitting in a movie theater with him as we watched, "The Passions of
Christ" and how the tears ran down his face at the thought of the pain Jesus 
endured.  He loved God!

Then the revelation came!  No I do not know why God took my young son, but I do
know he is with God.  I know he is no longer in pain.  I also know that God knew I
would be hurt and angry.  How I know this is that when Jesus was placed upon the
cross...  God was hurt and angry!  The scriptures say that He had to turn His face 
away when Jesus called out from the cross and that when Jesus died the sky 
darkened because God was angry!  So my feelings were not unique.    And like our
children, God must let us go and grow up and make mistakes along the way.  
However He is waiting for us to cry out for Him when we are stumbling around in
the dark and need His help!  Though I did not realize it God was holding me in the
palm of His hand when I felt so far away!

Healing of my broken heart  is daily!  Daily trusting, daily prayer and learning to
accept God's will for my life.  I have realized that I will always miss my son but one
day we will be reunited.  My spirit is now always trying to work in sync with God!
No matter what, "ALWAYS RELY ON GOD!"  if He brings you to it, He'll see you
through it!

I Pray that God Blesses You All!

God Never Changes



This particular Blog will be short and simple.  God never changes!  His word
is as true for today as it was thousands of years ago.  Reading it, learning it
and applying it to our lives is not only necessary,  it is needed.  We need it for
strength, for help and healing, for direction and I could go on and on but I will
simply say,  "we need it for everything in our lives"  and for those around us.
How can we be a good witness and example for and of God  if we don't know
His word?   The following scriptures tell us how God wants us to be where His
word is concerned in our lives!


Deut 6:7-9
Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them
when you are at home and when you are away on a journey,
when you are lying down and when you are getting up again.
Tie them to your hands as a reminder, and wear them on your
forehead. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on
your gates.


John 14:26-27
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name,
He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things
that I said to you. 


So in just these 2 scriptures you can plainly see how God desires us to be in
His Word at all times and that He has sent the Holy Spirit to help us understand
and learn them and to also remind us of what we have learned when we need
them.  This is how we live and share by witness the word that God gives us.
Without it we are an empty vessel unable to perform what God has shown us
and will teach us.

I will pray that God will open the word for you and reveal all the things you need
in your walk as a Christian.  After all, "Jesus is the Word of God" 

John 1,  Verse 14: "The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us."
(The Word became a human being, a Jewish man named Jesus.)


God Bless You All!

Teach Me Lord





Before I became a Christian I was always so confused about the things of God
and His word.  The Bible was a book that I read but could not fully understand.
I was very much like a little child who was given my first book with words in it.
I knew the story was there but the words made no sense to me.  However when 
I became born again through Christ and I knew to pray for understanding... the
word of God opened up to me.  As I read God's Word I began to grow...  the more
I read,  the more I grew and the more I understood.  However reading the word 
of God was not all there was to it.  Through the Holy Spirit I began to apply the
word to my life.   Basic things in the beginning...  knowing how much God loves
me, my loving others through His love for me, forgiveness towards others also
through His loving and forgiving me.  The most basic and important thing to me
was learning that everything I did or would do was through God and by His Spirit.

Proverbs 3:5-6  

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

 

This is the beginning of growth with God and for God.  Learning to trust and follow!

I Pray that you all find His understanding for your lives!

God Bless you all!

The Blood of Jesus


I wonder when I read the passages in the Bible how many truly realize
how powerful the blood of Jesus actually is in our lives as Christians. He
being the blood sacrifice to spare us before God.  To take our sins upon 
Himself...  so that we could have eternal life with God.  Once we accept
Christ into our lives and receive that blood covering, God sees our sin no
more.  We are then clean before Him.  Without the shed blood of Jesus
that was not possible.  It should make you emotional to know that God the
Father gave us His only Son so that we might be spared.  

"If we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship 
with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses
us from all sin" (1 John 1:7)

It thrills me to know that we have such a loving God!  Our salvation is only
one such way that the blood covering works for us as Christians.   It is
our protection and our healing.  I can't tell you how many times I have prayed 
the blood covering of Christ on my loved ones or asked for healing.  Then 
know by "Faith" that it is done.   In this day and age God "must" be our 
refuge and our shield, there is absolutely no other way.  

I want to encourage you to read the "Word of God" and seek out the very
answers you need from Him.  Believe me they are there!

I pray that God Blesses You All!

Directions For God's Warriors







If we believe in God then we must believe that there is a spiritual realm in
which the enemy preys upon the Christian and those who are preordained
to become Christians.  So it is important that we have the word of God  to
know how to battle Satan and his Demons.  God gives us instruction as to
how we do this in His word.  Using this we become Warriors Of God in the
ministry God has led us to.  Here is the complete passage from the NIV 
Version of the Bible.

Ephesians 6:10-18

New International Version (NIV)

The Armor of God

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

So knowing this word it is evident that we "must" apply this to our lives
everyday.  The word of God...  it says it all!  I pray that all that read this
will become true "Warriors For God"!

God Bless You All!

Good Morning






The picture with the message above should be what we all strive to be each
and every day.  Armed with the word of God so that it is applied to each and
all situations that arise in our lives.  Carrying the word of God in your mind 
and your heart.  The more you read the word of God the stronger you get, the 
more you pray and praise God the closer you get to Him.  So make time each 
day even if you read only a few scriptures and pray often so you can be one of 
the Christians that make the enemy tremble.  

God Bless You All!

God Is Always the Answer






Being a christian doesn't make us immune to problems, however it does mean
that we have an answer.  That answer always being God.  To often we try to
look for worldly ways to bring an end to everyday issues and forget that no
matter what it is...  God has it under control.  Satan would have you to believe 
that God has forgotten you or that God is punishing you or that the problem
is to small to bother God with it.  When in fact God waits for us to tell Him what 
we need or what's going on that we need help with.

For example:  let's say you have a broken lawnmower and you are just not 
mechanical enough to fix it.  Well naturally God is not going to pull out a tool
box, but He just might send someone your way to help fix it or lay it on
someone's heart that has an extra mower to bless you with one.  There is not one
thing that God will not listen to in prayer and bless you in some way.

God is always the answer!

God Bless You All!

Our God Is Awesome

When doubt and fear come your way...  Look around you and see what God
has done!  Then Praise Him and Break the Chains that Bind you to those
things that torment you!

God Bless You All!

We Are Always A Winner



If we keep our minds focused on the prize which is Jesus Christ our road is
definitely easier. We can never lose with God. He has promised us that if we
seek him first then all else that we need in our lives will be added.

There are days I don't feel well, there are days that I just don't feel like I
can make the effort to even get out of bed.  On those days I would like
to pull my head into a shell and just forget about everything.  But lets face it...
life just isn't like that.  The day continues on with or without my participation,
as it does yours.  I may not accomplish all I would like to on those days but I 
get up, I move a little and I realize God is still God and I thank Him for another
There have been times in my life that I have just begun praying out loud and
singing and clapping my hands and worshiping the Lord. All by myself.
On those days it is the power of God and His love that help me through the day
ahead of me or the night.  So I urge you to do as the scripture says...
Clap your hands, shout out loud unto God, raise your hands and feel His love!
You are a Winner!  Triumphant over all things in your life!

 God Bless You All!

What Ever Happens Praise God





In the wake of yesterdays tragedy in Oklahoma it is hard to see things positively, so I urge you to pray and Praise God.  Not for the happening but for the strength in God you gain when you give Him praise.  The doors you open for God to help when you praise...  So lift these families, their community and all involved that God may give them strength and help in this time of great need.  Give God the praise for His ability to intercede where we can't.  

These people lost everything!   Contact your Churches, the local Red Cross, TV stations, Radio stations...  These people will need clothing, food, water and so much more!  Maybe some small thing that you can donate may help.

God Bless You All!

God Never Changes





                                                                                                                                                                              

I am so blown away when I see that it has been over a year since my last post here.  So much has happened in the last year and yet it seems like just a smitten of time.  We are still in the to little house however the baby has done well and Bless God He has had his hand on us.  

I have begun with my posts again on Facebook and though it does not get a lot of attention I am content with sharing God's Word and keeping Him at the top of my days!   He is the only constant in my life!  I plan to try to keep the posts here up to date however it may be on an every other day basis. 

I am trying to go over the Psalms and apply them to my life.  So whether you read them here or on my Facebook I hope you will keep up.  I create the little graphic tags for the scriptures in order to draw more attention to them.  So if you like you may copy them and share them.  

Psalm 45:17
I will make Thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise Thee for ever and ever.

Never fail to give God Praise!  In the blessed times and the times that you don't feel so blessed.  We serve an awesome God and He is worthy of our Praise To Him!  

May God pour out His blessings upon you today and always!

Trust God



I wish I could say I never have problems, that I never have needs and that all
is perfect for me and my family.  However that is not the way life is.  Our family
has felt the brunt of the economy very much the same as everyone has.  Me,
well I just pray.  We have a house situation and are in real need of a larger home
but getting a mortgage is not easy these days and renting a home is almost as
hard to do.  We have found a home that we would really love to have.  All the
space we need.  So I have prayed and put this in God's hands.  Of course we will
do what we need to but it doesn't look possible right now.  Then I think on it and
recall a scripture:

Matthew 19:26
Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all 

things are possible.”

So my hope is within God's hands and written in His word.  He knows what we 
can handle and he will send us in the right direction and to the right people.  The
example of this for me came last night.  My little Grandson has been sick and I 
was not feeling so well yesterday evening.  I had prayed for the baby and the rest
of the family.  Though I was still feeling a little down.  The telephone rang, a young
man from a very powerful ministry, "Breakthrough" thanked me for the small 
donation I had sent for the children's outreach,  but went on to say, "Do you or
your family need prayer today?"   I was so blessed by this.  This young man could have called at any given time over the last 2 months, but on the day that I needed
someone to pray for me and for my family, that is when the call came!  See how
great our God is?  He knows what you need right when you need it!  Praise God!
Trust God today with all you have, He is listening and watching and He is waiting.

I pray God will Bless you abundantly today and always!

The Cloud Moved


Philippians 2:11
Every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord


If you are a Christian this scripture should excite you.  If you are not a Christian
know that there will come a time that you will know this scripture was meant for 
you too.  If God said it and it is part of His word it is absolute truth.  I personally
am moved by this scripture.  

I made it through childhood and my teenage years with much prayer from my 
mother and awesome guidance from the word of God.  I strayed, I made mistakes,
yet God was always with me.  I married and had children and I taught them as my
mother taught me about God.  I was in my late twenties when I felt the call of God 
on my life.  Like many I was not quite sure exactly what God wanted from me.  I
belonged to an Assembles of God Church and was asked to teach Sunday School.
It was a blessing for me to teach the little ones.  Though I was not eased in my
spirit that this is what God wanted from me.  I prayed constantly,  hoping that God
would give me another direction if there was something else He wanted me to do.
When I would pray,  the scriptures of God appearing as a cloud over the people 
Moses was leading into Canaan would come to me.  "When the cloud moved, God 
was moving"   Then one night I had a dream, "There was a church service going on,
the people were quibbling among themselves.  The children were running around and climbing over seats and making noise.  I looked up at the Pastor in question only to see him step down from the pulpit and walk away.  I watched him walk all the way to the door and leave.  I stood and took my children by the hands and walked up the aisle to the door.  As I passed a woman in the church she said, "The Spirit of God has left this place!"  and I woke up.  I tried to shake the dream and could not.  I prayed and still
the scriptures of Moses following the cloud, which was God, kept coming to me.

Exodus 13: 21-22 (NIV) 
By day the LORD went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night. Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place in front of the people.

I finally went to the Pastor,  he shared some things with me and also confirmed that
the dream I had was probably a gift of prophesy from God.  It seems little Church I belonged was suffering some underlying issues that I was not aware of.  The conflict among the people was keeping everyone from fully giving God the worship He deserved and the knowledge the people did need to grow.   He also shared with me that the coming Sunday would be his last service in the church.  

I fully believe that God was leading me out of the church and that the dream I shared
with the Pastor was to let him know he was making the right decision.  The "Cloud"
was God and He wanted me to be somewhere that I could grow.  The dream was the
leaving of anarchy behind me.  In all of this I learned to listen and wait for what God wanted for me.  As with me God wants you to be where you grow and are blessed.  
He wants you to serve Him in the fullness of the scriptures.  I pray this is so for all 
who read this.

I pray today that God Blesses You Abundantly!

God and Me 2


I have let a few days pass since my last post.  I needed to do some pondering
and also allow the posts to sit.  Sometimes to much is just that...  to much.  I
have learned that things of God need to be meditated upon and thought through.
In todays world with everything being instantaneous we still need to ponder and
take our time with God.  There is no drive through service, He is a full course, sit 
down dinner and you need to savor every word. 
  
In Psalm 46:10 He says,  Be still, and know that I am God

So take your time when you read His word, when you pray and when you praise.
God is a rewarder of those who seek Him and serve Him.  

When I became a teenager,  I was oh so rebellious.  I look back now and I feel so
sorry for my parents.  However they loved me through the hard times and gave
me the support I needed to become a responsible adult.  God did the same for me.
The one thing I found out as a young adult was that God was not looking at my out
side, He was looking at my inside.  He knew my heart.  I was brought up to think
that women could not wear pants, or make-up, listen to music, watch TV, go to a
movie, bare their arms in public or dance.  A lot of this was misconstrued man made
doctrine.  Like I said, I found out through His word that He loved me right where I 
was, just like I was.  I read in God's word, that David who God said was a man after 
His own heart, danced for the Lord.  That many times in the word when God was celebrated there was dancing.  I read in Solomon that women adorned themselves,
and that this was okay with God.  Essentially I found out how to serve my God,
Your God...  In His Word!  In this Holy Ghost inspired Book are the answers to how
and what God expects you to do.  This book, this manual that God gave us is over
2,000 years old and still applies to us today.  Amen!

I pray that God blesses you abundantly today and always!

God and Me 1


There was no tragic incident which led me to God in the beginning.  I was 8 years
old when the Holy Spirit touched my heart.  I prayed the prayer of salvation even
though I may not have fully understood it's magnitude.  I read what I could of the
Bible and listened intently at Sunday School and Church.  I prayed every day and
in my child like way I witnessed to whoever would listen.  I had no idea how long 
the road was  ahead of me and all I would learn over the years.  

My mother was my best teacher and she loved the Lord.  I would kneel beside her 
in church along with my 3 little brothers.  The spirit of God was so close to her you could feel Him.  She would lift her hands in praise and thanksgiving to Him, so I followed her example.  We were not a well to do family, heck we weren't even 
middle class.  But God always supplied what we needed.  She trusted in Him totally 
and sometimes when it seemed there was no way,  God blessed us and made a way.  
Her faith was strong and unwaivering.   My Dad though was not so yielding.  He was not a bad man,  on the contrary my Dad was a good and loving man.  He and my mother just had very different ideas about God.  I sometimes wonder if their 
differences of opinion kept us from receiving the full abundance of God.  In fact I am sure that it did.  My Mom was always praying for my Dad...  Yes, God did answer 
those prayers of hers but not til years later.  God knew when my Dad would be 
ready.  


Why am I writing  this little bit of Biography about myself.  I suppose so that when 
you read my Blogs you will know that I am a person that has followed a road much
like some who will read it.  So that it will be known that I have had to find my way
with God too.  That each scripture I post is because it has been personal and has
enriched my life as I hope it will yours.  I know from experience that there is not one
word of God that you can't apply to your life and know that it is for you...  the same 
as it was for me.  So read if you are interested.  Share if it Blesses you!


2 Corinthians 1:3-4(NIV)

 3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. 
 
 
I pray that God will Bless you abundantly today!

Prayer 7


I have written of prayer everyday this last week and I know how positive it is
for all that believe.   However to me the most powerful and rewarding prayer
is the prayer of confession to God of our sins and beliefs in Christ.  With this
prayer we are always given the gift of salvation.  Because it is a gift it is some-
thing we always will have.  It is a very emotional and rewarding experience.  
Some say that they can feel the weight of sin lift off of them.  Which is exactly
what happens.  Praying and inviting Christ into your live is an awesome 
experience.  This is when God has the absolute opportunity to move in our 
lives the way He should.  

Here are some scriptures for you to read and ponder on:

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; (KJV)

Romans 10:9-10 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (KJV)

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  (KJV)

John 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.  (KJV)


You see it doesn't matter how good you are unless you ask for forgiveness  and 
confess Christ as Lord,   you are not saved.  
This prayer is what you need:

Father, I ask that you cleanse me from all sin and unrighteousness
I believe that Jesus was born of the virgen Mary and was crucified for us
That he rose from the dead and ascended into the heavens to be at your right hand
I confess this before you God and Man
Thank you Father God
In the Name of Christ Jesus
Amen

I hope you pray this prayer and I pray that God will bless you abundantly today!

Prayer 6


Does prayer really work?  If this question in on your mind because you don't
see the answer please read this.  Yes I believe that it does.  In my life I have seen 
many prayers answered.  Some have been almost instantaneous and some 
have been purely in God's timing.  Keep this scripture in mind when you pray:

2 Peter 3:8
8. But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a 
thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

Let me share with you a personal experience of a very innocent prayer.  As my
children were growing up, I would sit beside their beds each night and read to 
them.  At the end of our reading sessions we would kneel beside the bed to pray.
We would pray this prayer:

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake
I pray the Lord
My soul to take!
In the name of Jesus, Amen

There was not a night that went by that we did not do this.  When my youngest 
son was 27 years old, he went to bed and died of a massive heart attack in his
sleep.  Do I believe that prayer was still there for him.  Yes I do.  That earnest
and innocent prayer of a child was not forgotten.  God used His time to answer 
that prayer.  He knew the minute it was spoken the first time when my son would
need the answer for that prayer. Just as He knows what you need when you ask.

So be patient when you pray.  Lay your prayer at the alter of God and trust that
He will answer when the time is right.  I believe that there is no prayer that goes 
unheard or unanswered.  We serve an awesome God!

Prayer 5



Does God hear our prayers?  I believe the answer in yes.  Why would he not 
answer the prayers of His children.  We may not always get the answer we 
seek, but He does answer.  I also believe that "Praise and Prayer"  are of the 
utmost importance.  Letting God know that we worship Him and adore Him.  
That He is the driving force in our live.

How would you define a righteous man or woman?   Well the Synonyms  for 
"Righteous" are...    all right, decent, ethical, honest, honorable, just, moral, nice,
right, good, right minded, straight, true, upright and virtuous.  Though God knows 
we are not perfect.  This is why He sacrificed His only Son, so that we might
have an intercessor.  In His word it is written:
  
2 Corinthians 5:21 (NIV)
21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 

So then we can find joy and peace in knowing that, Christ is our righteousness 
and God does hear our prayers.   Jesus in essence is our attorney who stands 
before God, our judge and pleads our case.   Because Jesus took all our sin 
upon Him our time has already been served...   He took our punishment.  If we 
believe.  

I am not a perfect person,  I do my best,  but I am always aware that I am 
made of flesh and blood and I do make mistakes.  So I ask for God's forgiveness 
daily.  Yes He hears our prayers!  Because when we believe when we pray,  God
will see the righteousness of Christ who takes away the sin of the world.

I Pray That God Will Bless You Abundantly Today And Always!
