Lamentations 3:39: And What It Means to All People!!
By: Anthony Joseph Hopkins August 18, 2020
39. Why Should a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins? Allow me to expand on this Bible verse. Lamentations 3:39 has a whole lot to do with the sins that we commit against God. When it comes to a man, woman, and child that sins, why shall we complain when we sin against God?
Why should a living man complain about the punishment of his sins. Frankly, a man should repent of his sins rather than complain about it. I mean his sins.
Micah 7:9 says I will bear the indignation of the Lord, because I have sinned against Him, until He pleads my case and executes justice for me. He will bring me forth to the light; I will see His righteousness. The reason why I wrote this Bible verse is simply because it coincides with Lamentations 3:39. These two Bible verses are alike when it comes to man’s sins. The Bible verse Micah 7:9 talks about God’s wrath against mankind. God will execute justice for all of us. In the previous Bible verse, man complains about his sins.
I guess whenever man complains to God about his sins, man is trying to question God’s wrath against him. Man is also questioning his punishment from God to begin with. Why should a living man complain? Man is expressing his dissatisfaction about his sins to God. I understand why Jeremiah wrote it!! Jeremiah wrote it as a complaint against God. When it comes to our sins, we do not have any business complaining to God or anyone else!! I understand what a lament means. The word lament means to complain or express sorrow.
I sincerely understand that God is giving all of us a second chance at life. I know that man is not supposed to quarrel or argue with God in the first place. Man is very sinful. Man, questions everything that he does wrong because he is afraid and terrified of God’s wrath. When it comes to Micah 7:9, it specifically talks about God’s wrath on the wicked.
In my case, I know that I am a sinful man, who needs God’s grace and mercy upon me. When it comes to my sins, and iniquities, I have to be transparent and accountable for all of my sins.
Finally, I have realized that I cannot fight God either way. I know that God created me for a reason. I might not know my reason for existing to all of my questions.
I know that if I see God for myself, I might have to pay the price!! This means that I might perish in the process. When it comes to my sins, God has the right to judge me according to all of my sins. Man can only make an opinion about me. Even though, I have to adhere to Man’s laws and God’s Laws as well.
The Human Tongue is a fire by itself. It cannot be tamed. By Anthony Joseph Hopkins August 25, 2021
The Human tongue is a little member; and boast great things. Behold how great a matter a little fire is kindled!! The tongue is a fire a world of iniquity: so is the tongue. The tongue defiles the body. The tongue is capable of doing a lot of damage to anyone who is present. Everything that the tongue says, it is very dangerous.
The tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the entire course of life, and set on fire by hell. For every kind of beast and bird, reptiles, and sea creatures can be tamed and has been tamed by mankind, but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of poison. The human tongue is so lethal that it cuts like a sword. However, man can control his or her actions before acting out violently.
Therefore, the tongue is a fire that is very difficult to extinguish. Let us examine our feelings and emotions before the actual eruption of a very dangerous fire.
The tongue cannot become extinguished by any means. Blessings and cursing that comes out of the same mouth. This is not supposed to take place inside of the earth itself. However. I understand that living inside of Planet Earth is dangerous. In most cases, we are in peril right now as we speak.

Is it true that our steps are ordered by God? This is a very good question. The reason why I am asking this question is simply because I am curious. The following Bible verses will be discussed: Jeremiah 10:23, Proverbs 20:24, Job 34:21, and Job 31:4. First, I would like to emphasize that God does order our steps. According to Jeremiah 10:23 says O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. This means that it is a Power that is greater than ourselves that is actually helping us.
Second, in the Book of Proverbs in the 20th Chapter and the 24th verse which states that man’s goings are of the Lord, how can a man understand his own way? This Bible verse is a little bit different. A man’s goings are the steps that are ordered by God. How can a man understand his own way? This is a very good question. God is solely responsible for telling us what to do. God is still doing for all of us more than we are doing for ourselves.
Next, I want to inform all of you that God is in charge of all of our decisions. I want to mention that God does give man a free will. With this free will, it is a choice that God gives us to do according to the Will of God, or else, we are going to perish. I want to do what God tells me to. I know that I have made some bad decisions in my personal life. I also want to say that God makes decisions for us, even though, we have failed as a human being at times.
Third, I would like to talk about the Book of Job. In Job 34:21 says; For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all of his goings. This means that God is watching all of us very carefully. He counts our steps each day of our lives. The word goings mean steps in the Bible. This means that there is someone who is giving us instructions while we are living on earth. God even knows exactly how long we are going to live on earth.
Fourth, God knows all of our ways and He also counts every step that we make in our lives. Job 31:4 says; Doth not He sees my ways, and count all of my steps? The answer to this question is yes. The word doth means Does in the Bible. I want to inform all of you that it is God who knows all things about mankind. To be honest with all of you, while we are sleeping inside of our beds at night, God opens the ears of man and sealeth their instruction. This is in Job 33:14-16.
Fifth and Finally, I want to inform all of you that God speaks to all of us while we are sleeping. He gives us our daily instructions. In Summary, God gives us life. The breath that we breathe each day does not belong to us anyway. God counts all of our steps in our lives. Everything that I have typed is the truth. The Bible backs up everything I have been sharing today. God Bless All of You!!! Please have a blessed day!
What is the definition of the word works? Works are activity involving mental or physical effort done in order to achieve a purpose or result. Works also are a task or tasks to be undertaken; something a person or thing has to do. For by grace are ye saved through faith: and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast: For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
What Does the Bible say about works? Therefore, when we work, we resemble Him. In addition, work is not God’s way of punishing us. In fact, He blesses us with the ability to work so that we can honor Him. Colossians 3:22 says, “You who are servants who are owned by someone, obey your owners.
Are we being judged by our works by God?
Next, “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.” If I am doing something that pleases God, then I am doing works. Works are physical and mental efforts that applies to our daily lives.
According to evangelical Baptist theology, good works are the consequence of salvation and not its justification. They are the sign of a sincere and grateful faith. They include actions for the Great Commission, that is, evangelism, service in the Church and charity.
Further, I want to inform all of you that God is watching us every single day of our lives. Do you know that every idle word that we say would either justify or condemn us?
This is according to Matthew 12:36. This is the reason why I try my very best to perform tasks that are pleasing to God. I know that I am not perfect, but I try my very best to do good things that would benefit mankind. For instance, I planted a garden for the Merry Oaks Community in Charlotte, NC. I planted watermelon and cantaloupe inside of my front yard.
God is watching all of us on a daily basis. Job 34:21 says: His eyes are on the ways of men; He sees their every step. This is very serious because we cannot get away with our sins. This is the reason why I am blessed every single day of the week. I know that I have done a whole lot for other people in my life. God is recording and monitoring our progress.
God is doing more for all of us more than we are doing for ourselves. This is the reason why I feel guilty because I know that God is watching me. God always want all of us to perform good deeds, while we are living inside of the planet. Are we being under surveillance by God? The answer is yes!! God watches us all of the time.
A GOOD DEED A WEEK:
Let your first check of the year be to charity.
Help a friend in need.
Volunteer for an hour at an organization of your choice.
Save electricity by unplugging your devices when not in use.
Buy a gift for your mother or grandmother – just because.
Allow a fellow driver to merge into your lane.
Finally, I want to say that each and every single day of the week, God wants all of us to perform for Him. I want to say that I did not know that even if we help other people, we are doing good deeds for God. This is the reason why I feel good about myself because I help other people with tasks that are very simple. I love everything that God has created. God wants all of us to perform the Great Commission on a daily basis.
This is an essay that consists of Bible verses from the Book of Deuteronomy. The first Bible verse that I would like to talk about is in Deuteronomy 6:5: It says you shall love the Lord your God with all of your heart, with all of your soul, and with all of your strength. I love the Lord God so much that I have dedicated my life to Him; by not listening to rap music. I have dedicated my life to Him by sharing with others about what the Lord has done for me.
Next, when you love the Lord your God; you are putting to an end the physical, mental, and social self by submitting to His will. Deuteronomy 8:6 says: Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the Lord your God, to walk in His ways and fear Him. Second, we do this by obeying His word, and placing our hearts, mind, and soul to Him.
We have to submit to God by hearing His voice through prayer and reading His word. We also have to submit to His will in our lives by giving up the things that we have done in our life. Deuteronomy 11:13 says: And it shall be that if you earnestly obey my commandments which I command you today, to love the Lord your God and serve Him with all of your heart, and with all of your soul.
Third, we do this by loving Him in the same way He loved us. We also demonstrate this same love for God to other people in our lives. According to Deuteronomy 11:22: For if you carefully keep all these commandments which I command you to do- to love the Lord your God, to walk in all of His ways, and to hold fast to Him. Fourth, we serve Him; is we love Him. We do this by walking after the Lord your God and fear Him, and keep His commandments, and obey His voice; you shall serve Him and hold fast to Him. Deuteronomy 13:4.
This means that we have to fear the Lord God, our Creator, and His son Jesus Christ. We are not supposed to fear mortal man because man was created from the dust of the ground according to Genesis 2:7. In order to live in the spirit, we have to be born again.
1st Timothy 5:24 and what does it means to all people?
This is an essay that has a whole lot to do with 1st Timothy 5:24: and what does it means to all people? 1st Timothy 5:24 says: Some men’s sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow later. This means that for some men, their sins are clearly apparent, and in another case, there are men who sins will be revealed to them later. To be honest, God watches all things from heaven. I will admit that I still have a very long way to go in my Christian walk.
Next, I will also admit that I have been clean and sober for a total of 29 years right now. It is God that is doing for me more than I am doing for myself. I have not been in trouble in a total of 7 years now. I remember being probated for a crime that I did not commit. I was remanded to the Dayton, Ohio Montgomery County Common Pleas Court for committing two counts of communications of threats. I did not commit these crimes whatsoever. I was requesting for prayer from Turner Road Baptist Church in my hometown of Dayton, Ohio. I was subsequently placed on probation for three years. The dates are as follows from February 28, 2012 to March 28, 2015. I had to report to court every year for three years.
Proverbs 17:9 says: He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separates very friends. I am willing to renounce all of my transgressions to the Lord. The Lord will always forgive me as long as I am faithful and just in all of my causes. We all have personal sins in our lives that only God can only forgive us. For instance, I have made a lot of mistakes in my personal life. I have not used vulgarity in over a month right now. I asked God to forgive me for using vulgarity; when I get angry.
Further, Galatians 6:1 says: Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such a one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. This means if a member of the church helps me resolve my transgressions in a peaceful manner; lest he himself be tempted. My brother and I had to resolve our problem, particularly when he called me out of my name without cause. I have forgiven my brother for calling me out of my name. We apologized to each other because God intervened between the two of us. A member of my church had to mediate between a friend of mine and me; whenever there was a disagreement about the Bible.
Psalms 32:1 Says: Blessed is he whose transgressions is forgiven, who sin is covered. Only God forgives transgressions and sins. I am capable of forgiving others; whenever they have wronged me personally. I have forgiven my brother recently for calling me out of my name. I also forgiven my own cousin for beating me with a bicycle pole back on May 5, 1981. I am the type of person who do not like to harbor resentments and aggression towards other people. During the past five years, my life has changed for the better.
For Example, I do not curse people out anymore. I do not use social media as a means to severely criticize others, as I did in the past. I have changed behaviorally as well. I have given my life over to the care of God. I feel a lot better because I have the Holy Spirit inside of me right now.
Psalms 32:5 Says: I acknowledge my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah. As long as I acknowledge all of my sins to God and His son Jesus Christ, He will forgive me of all of my sins. 1st Timothy 5:24 means to me that all of our sins are obvious to God. Even though man’s sins are hidden from other men, but with God.

“But the angel said to him: ‘Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call him John. He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice because of his birth, for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He is never to take wine or other fermented drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even before he is born. He will bring back many of the people of Israel to the Lord their God. And he will go on before the Lord, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the parents to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.’” (Luke 1:13-17)
Zechariah and his wife Elizabeth had been praying for a son for nearly seven decades. They had been waiting longer than most people would for an answer to a prayer, but their waiting proved to be worth it when God appeared to Zechariah and promised him that Elizabeth was going to have a son. But this wasn’t just any child. This child was going to grow up to be someone who would be forever remembered because of the influence he had on history.
God more than answered their prayer. He didn’t just give them what they asked for. He gave them something even better than what they had asked for. He said their son would be filled with the Holy Spirit in his mother’s womb. He would never know a day when he did not have the Spirit of God. He would lead many in Israel to turn back to the Lord.
God does not always do what we want Him to do, when we want Him to do it, but when He does what He wants to do, when He wants to do it, it is what we would have wanted all along. So whenever we’re praying for something, let’s not put God in a box. Instead, let’s pray that God would not just give us what we want, but that He would give us His best, which always seems to be above and beyond anything we could have asked for or imagined.
Dear God, how grateful I am that you hear my prayers and that you always answer. Even when the answer isn’t exactly what I want, I know that I can trust you to give me your best. Help me to want your will over my will, and give me the eyes to see the blessings you give me that are so far beyond what I could ever ask for. Amen.
But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.
And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth,
for he will be great before the Lord. And he must not drink wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb.
And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God,
and he will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared.”
Good Day Everyone!! I want to start things off by asking everyone a very serious question. What does Psalms 5:1-3 mean to all of you? The answer is God wants us to have daily devotions and meditate on His word. In verse 1, it says: Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my mediation. This is David, the King pleading with the Lord to hear his mediation. We are supposed to make our request known to God. This is the reason why daily devotions are important to me. I read a verse inside of the Book of Proverbs each day of the week. I also read the Gospels such as Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. I read and listen to worship music all of the time.
Next, I want to say that verse #2 states that God has heard my cry and pleas to Him. This means that I confess all of my sins to God, and I also complete the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous every single day. I complete the last 3 Steps; which are as follows: 10. Continue to take personal inventory and when we are wrong promptly admitted it. Step 11: Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out. Step 12: Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these Steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
Further, I want to say that I complete these last three steps in Alcoholics Anonymous because I feel that I have a lot of people to apologize to each day. I also have apologize to God for all of my sins that I commit each day. I pray and meditate every day because it causes me to get even closer to God. I am a whole lot happier with myself, more than I have ever been. I am more respectful, humble, and gentle with myself and with everyone else.
Moreover, I want to say to everyone that I am a brand new person. I am pleasant to be around other people. I do not use any vulgarity anymore. I am very polite and friendly to other people. I am a person who is intelligent. I am a person who have a lot of common sense. I am a person who enjoys studying the Word of God. I am a person who is very patient and very understanding. I have to be delivered from people if I am going to be helpful to people.
I believe that I am the righteousness of God. I do not want Satan to steal my joy from me. I have presented my body as a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is my reasonable service. I preach the Gospel of the Good News of Jesus Christ. I share the good news about the grace of God. I do not want to be ignorant of His grace. I have a revelation of Jesus Christ because my personal Savior Jesus Christ has been working inside of me. I have the Holy Spirit.
Finally, I realize that we all have the Holy Spirit inside of us. According to 1st Corinthians 6:19 says that Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? I do believe that we are the temple of the Holy Spirit. I have been born again since February 15, 2015. I have been born again for 4 years now. I was baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. My home church is called Fort McKinley United Methodist Church. I have been a member of the church for the past 10 years now.
In Conclusion, my name is Anthony Joseph Hopkins and I am from Dayton, Ohio. I have been writing for the past 10 years now. I love all of you very much.
This is an essay concerning the Sinful Nature vs the New Man. Who do you think will win? The sinful nature consists of the Old Man Nature.
The reason why I brought this up as a topic is simply because there are some things that I am struggling with as a Christian. For Instance, I do not use any vulgarity. I will admit that I am a lonely man right now. I am not involved in a relationship right now because I was doing things that did not make sense.
Next, I want to say that it is not easy for me to deal with this problem. I really need everyone to please keep me in your prayers. The New man is a man that is holy. The new man is very honest, truthful, considerate, respectful, and Christ-like. When it comes to the Old Man, it thrives on things that are not of God.
I know that this information does not pertain to the Old and New Man, but it is helpful when it comes to dealing with issues that I am dealing with right now. In Colossians 3:9-10 the apostle Paul mentions the “old self” and the “new self” as he writes “Do not lie to one another, since you laid aside the old self with its evil practices, and have put on the new self who is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created him.” He says that the old self has been put aside. Why would one want to put aside the old self, or old man? We are taught to put aside our old self because it is being corrupted.
“if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught in Him, just as truth is in Jesus, that, in reference to your former manner of life, you lay aside the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit,” (Ephesians 4:21-22). We can see that once we have been taught about Jesus Christ that we should want to do away with our old self that is full of sin, corrupted with the lusts and deceit of this world. We can further see that we can put off this old self by having it crucified with Jesus Christ. As he was crucified on the cross so that we may have forgiveness of sins, in like manner, our old self is nailed to that cross so that we will not walk in an unrighteous manner afterward. Paul says “knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, that our body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin” (Rom 6:6). We also put off this old self by regeneration in accordance with Galatians 3:26 and Ephesians 4:23-24.
We have learned that the old man is one that is full of sin and worldliness. But what is the new man? The new man is the one that is full of the righteousness and holiness of God! “And put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth” (Ephesians 4:24). Also if you go back to the beginning of this article and read the text you’ll notice that this new man is one that is renewed according to the image of God (Colossians 3:10).
Once one has decided to put on the new man (and this can only be done through baptism (Gal 3:27), and put off the old, then there are things that must follow after doing so. One cannot expect to go to heaven by accepting Jesus Christ and then quit trying to live the Christian life. There are several things that the new Christian must strive to do every day to live a life for Jesus. It starts by speaking the truth about Jesus. We should feel so good about Him, that we would WANT to tell others about the wonderful happiness that we have found in Jesus. We should want to tell our neighbors about Him. “Therefore, laying aside falsehood, speak truth, each one of you, with his neighbor, for we are members of one another” (Ephesians 4:25).
In the past we might have gotten angry and sinned, but now the new man understands the righteousness of God and when one gets angry they will “sin not” as it states in Ephesians 4:26. We would be moved to do good works accompanied with good speech, while at the same time striving daily to resist the devil and all his temptations (Ephesians 4:27-29). This will be a struggle for the new babe in Christ but it can be done. Remember, God will not allow you to be tempted greater than you can endure (1 Corinthians 10:13). A new man will be moved to practice kindness to others. “And be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you” (Ephesians 4:32).
Knowing that Christ died for us, forgiving us of all our sins, we should likewise be quick to forgive others in like-manner. When the old self has been put away, the new Christian will strive to have compassion on others (Colossians 3:12), and be long-suffering towards others (Colossians 3:13). The new man stands out because he has learned to put on love. “And beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity”. (Colossians 3:14).
There is a big difference between the old man of the world and the new man of God. Which are you? Have you put away that old man? If not, you need to get into Christ and enjoy the wonderful blessings of being a Christian! To me personally, the old and new man still exist because it is not I am not afraid of letting it go; it is that I am weak in this area. It is really hurting me; when it comes to my relationship with God. I would like for all of you to please pray for me because I am a very weak person, especially when it comes to dealing with this issues. This is my story of the Old Man vs The New Man.
This is an essay that concerns obedience. The definition of the word obedience is as follows: Obedience is compliance with an order, request, or law or submission to another’s authority. Obedience is absolutely essential to being a follower of Jesus Christ. You thank Him for the heartaches and trials in our life. Therefore, you are going to love Him. What do you think?
Love God not half with God. I am going to be careful to what I place in my mind. Loving Jesus will affect how I feel about Him. Share the Word. Go into all of the world and preach the gospel. We follow Jesus all of the time.
The first thing that I do each day I wake up is thank the Lord for allowing me to wake up to see another day. I also thank Him for the day before. By the way, I hope Resurrection Sunday was good for you as it was for me. I had a chance to pray for all of my family members. I prayed for everyone worldwide; especially those who were died yesterday in Sri Lanka. I also attended church yesterday as well as spend quality time praying for all of my neighbors where I live in Dayton, Ohio.
Serve Him
All of us have the capacity to serve the Lord. I serve Him by helping others each day of the week. I am responsible for helping others without asking for anything in return. I know that God will always bless me with anything that I need. I am a follower of my personal Savior Jesus Christ.
One thing that I can say about me is that I am a doer of the Word and not a hearer. I am responsible for doing everything that the Bible tells me to do. For instance, I ask God to remove the desire for me to drink alcohol and smoke marijuana 28 years ago. I have been clean and sober since May 2, 1990.
I had given up the high cost to low living on that day. I got sick and tired of being sick and tired. I also ask God to be with me throughout my journey as well as my everyday life.
Jesus accepted me in the same way that it is depicted in this picture. I am very happy that I am a child of the Most High God. I had to make changes in my personal life in order for Jesus Christ to accept me. Some might say that I am still a sinner. Some would say that I am a self- righteous man. Some would say that I have never changed. I have changed for the better because the things that I have done in the past, I no longer have a desire for right now.
God transforms our life, and we change our way of thinking.
God’s way of thinking is not like humans. His way of thinking is higher than ours. God’s way of thinking is so strong that it will cause an average person to change for the better. For me personally, I want to say that it is Him who is responsible for the things that I have in my life right now. I know that I am not a perfect person. I am a person who is sharing the gospel with others. If I can change for the better, then the next person can change. God gives us a choice. We have a free will. I have chosen to get my life right this time around. God is doing for me what I cannot do for myself. God is counting my steps. He is risen!!

Good Evening and God Bless All of You!! I would like to say that this Bible verse is one of my favorite verses. This is pertaining to Jesus Christ, who will come to the earth a second time, and He will judge the earth. Jesus Christ will judge the world with righteousness and the people with his truth. I really believe it!! It is time for all of us to get our lives in order right now.
For me personally, I have to repent of all of my sins, and get serious!! This is very serious for everyone to repent and be baptized in the name of the father, son, and the Holy Spirit. I want to say that this is a time for me to completely change for the better. I have changed a whole lot. For Instance, I want you to be my God!! God, I want you into my life. I want you Lord Jesus to dwell inside of me. I want you to care for me in the same way my mother cared for me as a child. I am only a Child of The Most High God!!
Further, I want to say that when it comes to this Bible verse, I also have to include Acts 2:38. I have to say that it is time for me to do some spiritual house cleaning right now. This means that I will have to stop watching the news at night. I have to really stop voting for men and women in politics. God is all that I need. I am very sorry for voting for president of the United States, Mayor of my hometown of Dayton, Ohio, and selecting other people to govern the nations.
Moreover, I want to mention that I have to include Romans 10:9-10 as well. I am literally ready to do my house cleaning, and I mean it this time around. I know that I still have a long way to go in my Spiritual Walk. I have to make sure that I am worthy in the eyes of Jesus Christ. My life has been filled with ups and downs during the past 10 years. I have to prepare in advance to humble myself, and change for the better. The Lord has been good to me for a very long time. I still have some growing up to do. I am ready for the Lord to give me a strategy to change forever.
In Addition, I want to inform all of you that I am including these Bible verses because I am ready for the Lord to use me as an instrument for truth!! I want the Lord Jesus Christ to please pay for my book to get published. I am praying really hard for the Lord to publish my book called My Grace is Sufficient for Me.
Dorrance Publishing Company out of Pittsburgh, PA has mailed me a contract that consists of 50 pages of information regarding my book. I have not signed the contract because I have to pay $5,600 dollars for them to publish my book. I do not have the money to pay for my own book to get published. Please pray for me because I am trying to publish my very first book. Lord Jesus, please pay for my book to get published. It is a Christian Book that talks about my life, and God’s Forgiveness.
Finally, I want to say that I am very sorry for going on a tangent. It is that, I have a book that everyone would love to read. It is that I do not have the finances to pay for additional copyrights as well. I need a whole lot of prayer for me, and for my book to get published with Dorrance Publishing Company. The Book of Psalms consists of many Bible verses coming from David, Moses, and other Writers that the Bible hardly talk about. Every verse inside of the Bible is very serious. Jesus Christ is going to come back and judge the earth, and everything inside of it. I am taking this seriously because I am praising the Lord all the time. Thank You Jesus for saving me. Thank You Lord Jesus for allowing me to write this essay. Thank You Lord Jesus for talking to me right now.
In Conclusion, I want to say to everyone who is reading this essay that I really need all of your prayers, love, and support. I love all of you very much!! Take care of yourselves!!
