I am so happy that that both my mom and dad were able to pray for me and over me throughout my growing up years and that God provided and provides so many blessing to me as only He can do. For someone to step in that role for you father had to of been nice for you.

When I was growing up, my father was not able to hold the priesthood. While I had to rely on the good brethern of the church for my blessings - and I most definitely still felt the love and healing from the Lord - I vowed to marry a man who not only could hold the priesthood in a worthy manner, but who would use it. Each year, our children receive blessings from their father at the start of the school year and of course, at other times when they are sick. But sometimes the most amazing thing is to watch a child, exercise the true and trusting faith to seek the healing nature of a priesthood blessing. What a wonderful glimpse into the heart of our Father in Heaven when we witness miracles being enacted in His name and through His authority.

I was always told I was too picky in my dating, but I’m sure glad I was because ended up with the right man for me. <br />It is always a comfort to pray to God and have others pray for us. I learned in my Bible study this week that even though God promised Isaac and child, Isaac still prayed for a child. It makes me think of the Christian author C. S. Lewis’ quote, “ I pray because I can’t help myself. I pray because I’m helpless. I pray because the need flows out of me all the time, waking and sleeping. It doesn’t change God, it changes me. “ <br /> I love reading in the Bible about priests in the Old Testament and their role as followers of God. The priests were responsible for making intercession to God for the people by offering the many sacrifices that the law required. Among the priests, one was selected as the High Priest, and he entered into the Most Holy Place once a year on the Day of Atonement to place the blood of the sacrifice on the Ark of the Covenant “but into the second only the high priest goes, and not without taking blood, which he offers for himself and for the unintentional sins of the people” Hebrew 9:7 By these daily and yearly sacrifices, the sins of the people were temporarily covered until the Messiah came to take away their sins.<br />Like the Levitical priests, Jesus offered a sacrifice to satisfy the Law of God when He offered Himself for our sins “He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, first for his own sins & then for those of the people, since he did this once for all people, when He offered up Himself (on the cross).” Hebrew 7:27-28. Unlike the Levitical priests, who had to continually offer sacrifices, Jesus only had to offer His sacrifice once, gaining eternal redemption for all who come to God through Him. Every priest is appointed from among men, but Jesus is appointed by God. Jesus, became a man in order to suffer death and serve as our High Priest “…that He by the grace of God should taste death for every man.” Hebrews 2:9. As a man, He was subject to all the weaknesses and temptations that we are, so that He could personally relate to us in our struggles “For we have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.” Hebrew 4:15. Jesus is greater than any other earthly priest, so He is called our “Great High Priest” in Hebrew 4:14. I’m so happy that He is my priest, my Great High Priest. It gives me the boldness to come “unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need” Hebrews 4:16.
