I just love the verses on fear not. Here I have looked many of them and want to share them with you. Very comforting and encouraging verses these are.
What great faith and trust it takes in the Lord to truly be in the face of danger and not to fear though. It can be easy enough when all is well, our country is at peace, and we have all our needs met, ect....
But how about in a time of war and turmoil, or in a time of famine, or earth quakes and great destruction? I believe in tough situations like that one would really have to work on that almost daily. Soak your self in His Word and in prayer. And quoting some of these verses out loud would be very helpful as well.
Please read and enjoy!

Remember God is with you, He is for you, He loves you, and will never ever leave you nor forsake you.

Prayer Journaling
Journaling prayers is a new one for me. I just wish I had been doing much sooner.
I had heard of prayer journaling several years ago when I was just a young mom with our first couple of children; yet I never thought much of it or the benefits of journaling. And certainly never considered it for my self.
Since I never heard of doing that when I was growing up, it seemed rather odd to me to write down prayers. My first thoughts were, "Why would a person want do that for, and how would that help?" So I just passed it off. What I had heard though from those doing it is that they found it very helpful, and really recommended it.
After reading a couple really good books on prayer this past year with both of the books talking about prayer journaling, I decided to give it a try for my self.
I bought a simple note book, labeled the front Mom's Prayer Journal, and began the new journey!!
I started with the month I was in and started writing all my prayer request I had for that month. I also put down a certain date at other times what I was praying for that day. Besides writing prayer request I also write down my thankfulness to God for answered prayers.
That is what is really nice about prayer journaling is being able to look back at payers made and see the wondrous way God answered them and worked everything out! Journaling helps so that you don't forget what prayers requests you made, and so that you can clearly see God at work in your life through your payers and give God the credit for the answers. Also to be able to continue praying for certain things or issues, ect..., until there is an answer to your payers.
If prayer journaling is something new for you too, I encourage you to give it a try! I am sure you will love it, and be blessed by it as I am.
In Him, Mae
Below is a few books on prayer that I have read over last year that I have really enjoyed.

On Speech and Conversation
In reading the Bible I constantly come across verses on speech and conversation, and I have been wanting to do a study on this subject for a long time now. So I just recently done a search on verses on speech and conversation and this is what I found. There was many more than I even was aware of.
Being a mother I am constantly making sure my children are speaking kind things to each other. We have lots of instruction in God's Word concerning how our speech and conversation should be. So it is high time we heed it for our selves, and impart that to our children as well. But how easy is it sometimes to say unkind and rude things to each other in our homes. It is time though we heed these verses and not just read over them and comment , "Oh, great verses!"
Colossians 4:6
Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.
Proverbs 8:13 To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech.
Proverbs 12:6 The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood, but the speech of the upright rescues them.
Proverbs26:25 Though their speech is charming, do not believe them, for seven abominations fill their hearts.
1 Timothy 4:12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
Titus 2: 7 In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
8 Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
1 Peter 3:10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:
2 Corinthians 6:7 By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
Colossians 3:8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
9 Lie not one to another*, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
Colossians 4: 6 Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
Ephesians 4:22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. 30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. 31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: 32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
Ephesians 5:4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) 10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. 11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. 12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; 20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
1 Thessalonians 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
James 4:11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
1 Petrer 1:15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
1 Peter 3:1-2 Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;
2 While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.
1 Pteter 3:16 Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.
1 Peter 2: 1 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
1 Peter 2: 12 Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
Phillippians 1:27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
Phillippians 3:20 For our conversation; is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
2 Peter 3:11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
2 Peter 2:7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
Psalm 141:3 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
Matthew 5:34-37 34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:
35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool*: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
Matthew 12: 36-37
36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that* men shall speak, they shall give account thereof* in the day of judgment.
37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Hope you have enjoyed these verses on how we should speak to one another as believers in the Lord.
May our conversation always impart grace, and edify one another.

PS. I plan to include this post in volume 2 of As For Me and MY House. I hope to add to it, and make it more of an in depth study on this. This really is such an important subject.
