DonnY Mac, you have inspired me since I saw your podcast with Graham Wardle. To come from a place where you made fun of Christians and was such an unbeliever, to a place now where you publicly praise Jesus and talk to other people about him. Keep doing what you doingAnd God bless you and keep you safe.
And Donnie I’ve been praying for Graham for 3 years now and even more since your podcast with him. I just pray that he comes to a place where he understands how much Jesus loves him.
I am a person full of defects, desires and I make mistakes almost every day, but thanks to God's mercy, the Holy Spirit makes me aware, convinces me of sin and leads me to ask for forgiveness. Furthermore, I believe that despite all of this, God will not take His love and kindness away from me (Romans 8:38-39). Last week my therapist told me a phrase that has stuck with me these past few days “you are not what circumstances or people say you are. You are who God says you are!”
I know I'm fallible, yet God loves and cares for me.
We are so blessed that we are made aware of our faults. Imagine what it would be like to go through life without a clue. May God continue to have mercy!
This prayer walk brings up a topic that I have struggled with all my life. Early in my life I was convicted of loose talk that resulted in harm to another person. To be honest, I had forgotten about what I had said and didn’t think it was a big deal. But years later I found out what harm my loose talk had caused. When I found out, I was surprised and felt terrible. I was pointed to the Psalm “Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.” Psalm 141:3. I will never forget this incident (or this Bible verse) and to this day I struggle. I have to work hard all the time to remind myself to keep my mouth shut or craft my words in a way that is not in any way gossipy. As you put it, I force myself to think before I speak. I appreciate your “THINK” advice. To be sure, I don’t always succeed, but I am aware and try hard to avoid malicious speech. I suspect this will be a challenge all my life.
I just now sat down in the silence and listened to your prayer walk. Beautiful walk thank you Donny for listening to your heart, and being obedient to God, about your honesty and care to Him, and to us. I try not to listen to gossip, but it isn’t always possible. I usually try to walk away from it, but sometimes I don’t get away quick enough. It was a good message, I know that I will be thinking about it later....Blessings to you!!
I loved your prayer walk as always I know that I do gossip but I don't do it to better my self it comes from when people hurt me and especially the one's that are closer to me 🙏🙏 I'm praying about and praying that God will help me 🙏🙏 please pray for me and please let me know what you think 🙏🙏
I enjoyed your Prayer Walk. We all need to T H I N K. I will use this daily. Stop and think. Are you doing this in your life. I hope and pray that I am. Please continue to pray for me. My life is stressful. I need something to be resolved so I can breathe easier. It has been a long 5 months and still no answers.
I’m literally in tears listening to this, as you said Donny we have all fell into the trap at some point in time. When you used the reference of our kids it completely hit home. I know God is above all and his love is unconditional. Even though at times our quilt can make us feel unworthy HIS love and forgiveness is what heals our broken hearts little by little. Thank you so much for today’s topic. I love this community as well🙏 I’m forever grateful and thankful for you all. Happy Thanksgiving ❤️🙏
A great topic and one in which we can probably all say we have participated. Ugh. Our human nature wants to rear its ugly head. Even Paul laid it out: "For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature." (Romans 7). It's a battle we will fight until we are with Jesus. As usual, you made me think and want to do better. Loved the acronym that Francis Chan presented. Will keep it in front of me. Thanks for another great prayer walk - I truly appreciate these more than you know.
This was so honest, I remember working with some other people who were in a vey bad habit of talking about other people. Most of the time they had no facts at all. I explained to them that Proverbs described gossip as like a poison. Their response was “everyone does it su we will continue.” I’ve seen people lose jobs and confidence from someone carrying tales. My own child just went through this. The person who did it I must admit I called her a one eyed one horse flying purple people eater. I had to repent but. When you see your child hurt you want to hurt back. I pray we who listen to this remember your lesson here. Thank you friend.
Donny, this one is packed with a lot of great advice, but that advice or direction, I can clearly see comes straight from God. I agree with the other comments below. This is SPOT ON! I love the T.H.I.N.K. and what each letter stands for. I pray for myself, to think before I act or say or share something, but to make sure, am I acting or saying within the will of God. God has worked through you and this entire community to bless me each and every week and personally helped me grow in my faith. I'm going to take what you have shared with us this week as always and continue to apply it to my walk in Faith. Thank you so much for this prayer walk. Continued prayers, and Donny, may God bless you my friend and this entire community!
Spot on. With the holidays approaching, it good advice. Sometime family time can be difficult, everyone has an opinion, secret and the drama begins. I love T.H.I.N.K. Thank you.
Hello Donny I’m very behind in listening to your prayers walks. I’m hoping to get caught up today. You always put me in check with your prayer walks. Thank you. I’m trying to pray for those that I get irritated by instead of talking bad about them. ❤️🙏
Hi Donny, thank you for these prayer walks they are so inspiring. I have to admit I fall at times into the gossip pit. That doesn’t make it right it just hurts the other person weather we know it or not. God asks us to be kind and love one another regardless of our faults. He asks us like you said to lift them up not tear them down. Thank you for such a reminder to do Gods work as he asks us to. God is a forgiving God and we should obey him as he asks us to. Gods blessings to you I’ll be praying for you on your continued journey. Gods not done yet Donny he getting you ready for something much greater.
