hi my name is Shena i am a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ but sometimes i find my self repeating for God to bless me why do i do that

Hello Shenalean:

One pair of Hands formed the mountains

One pair of Hands formed the sea

One pair of Hands made the sun and the moon

Every bird, every flower, every tree

One pair of hands formed the valleys

The oceans, the rivers and the sand

Those Hands are so strong so when life goes wrong

put your faith into one pair of Hands

One pair of Hands, healed the sick

One pair of hands raised the dead

One pair of Hands calmed the raging storm

and thousands of people were fed

One Pair of Hands said I love you

And those Hands were nailed to a tree.

Those Hands are so strong, so when life goes wrong put your

Put your faith into one pair of Hands.

This song, music and lyrics, written by Carroll Roberson.. Thank you Richard for giving me the idea to do this. God Bless :)

There is a lot I'd like to say; not sure how edifying my usual longwinded comment will be in your case....

I would tend to think that the security and comfort of knowing that the Lord is working to bring good and pleasant things in your life is something as humans we all desire. Fear of course can result; especially when situations SEEM not to have any possible outcome in that regard. The Lord will require of His saints suffering as His Word clearly states; along with persecution. It is ONLY in His strength that we are able to overcome fear and cowardice (I'm talking to myself here as well). So often we think that kindness of other humans is the best indicator of our own godliness but in truth we are supposed to bless those who despitefully USE us (I'll let you find the verse). We are blessed because we are worthy of suffering for His Name's sake.

The Lord promises more of the Holy Spirit for those who ask Him in regard to good gifts ( Luke 11:13). Blessing brings POWER and the fear of the Lord falls on others; as John 16:8 demonstrates in the operation of the Holy Spirit. You are dangerous to the kingdom of darkness when truly full of the Spirit and will have impact in reaching the lost fulfilling the Great Commission drawing men to the Lord.

Charles Wesley Naylor wrote on the winning side:

Here are the lyrics

Once I drifted out in sin, had no hope nor joy within,

And my soul was brurdened down with pride;

Then my Savior came along and he showed me I was wrong and

Now I know I'm on the winning side

From the straight and narrow wayi was drifting every day,

Out upon the waters deep and wide;

But it all is over now, glory light is on my brow,

And my soul is on the winning side

I will never have a fear, for my Lord is ever near,

And in him so often I confide;

He's the keeper of my soul since I gave him full control,

And he placed me on the winning side

Chorus-

I'm on the winning side,yes

(may have been cut short-hope this helps!!)
