A Mom's Prayer

Treasure Boxes

Sometimes (more often than I care to admit) I feel very alone and out of sorts in my life. Sometimes it is because I am hanging on to some hurt or worse, some sin. It usually takes me a while. Pity parties and self-beating with the guilt rod do take some time. Until finally, I turn my heart and eyes back toward God and His unfathomable love for me despite my feelings. I go to my Heavenly Daddy because He alone can always provide the comfort, love and hope I need to move ahead. With God I am not alone or forgotten. He cares about my hurts. He is the only One who can really speak to me in a way that I can feel and understand.

When I finally turn to my Heavenly Daddy, I pull out a Treasure Box I created with little "treasures" to pull out and meditate on. The Treasure Box would also be a great gift of love to someone that you know who is hurting or going through some difficult times.
As you read the following verses, you will notice that they are not exact quotes from God's Word, but have been written in a conversational way that explains the promise found in the scriptural verse.
You can do your verse slips this way, or type the verse word for word from the Bible-whichever way you feel will help you feel closest to your Heavenly Daddy. Each time you see a (xxx), that is where you should insert your name, or the name of the person for whom you are making a treasure box.
