I strongly encourage everyone to get this book. It is THE best book I have ever read on The Lord’s Prayer and Fasting. It delivers a deep understanding of how God has planned us to use The Lord’s Prayer along with fasting and what blessings we receive when we do this…
There is GREAT power in the words we speak. Most people do not realize how powerful the words are we speak from our mouth. They can bring a happy smile to a sad and lonely face or they can bring fear and hurt to someone…
In our fast paced world we have lost the ability to treat ourselves with kindness and respect much less others. We want things now which makes us impatient, we walk around with short fuses and are just waiting for someone to hand us the lighter to ignite the fuse.
The Webster dictionary defines love as “a feeling of strong or constant affection for a person…unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another…a person’s adoration of God…warm attachment, enthusiasm, or devotion…

Ouch, this one hurts. In my younger years I think someone forgot to explain to me what self-control was. I had a temper without a fuse, it was quick to ignite and slow to put out.
Webster defines “gentleness” as “the quality or state of being gentle…mildness of manners or disposition”. When we are “gentle” we exhibit a nature that is kind and gentle.
Webster dictionary defines “peace” as “a state in which there is no war or fighting…an agreement to end a war…a period of time when there is no war or fighting…a state of tranquility or quiet”. Wow, just think no more war or fighting.
We will never find “joy” in our daily circumstances, we can only find “joy” in our relationship with God our Father! No matter what happens in our lives our joy rests solely on the fact that we are sons and daughters of God…
Webster defines “goodness” as “the quality or state of being good…the nutritious, flavorful, or beneficial part of something”. Children learn at an early age if they are “good” there is a reward in it for them. In the way society looks at being “good”, it’s more or less admirable motives and deeds.
