“You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.” Galatians 5:13
Of this verse, A.T. Pierson says: “True freedom is found only in obedience to proper restraint. A river finds liberty to flow, only between banks: without these it would only spread out into a slimy, stagnant pool. Planets, uncontrolled by law, would only bring wreck to themselves and to the universe. The same law which fences us in, fences others out; the restraints which regulate our liberty also insure and protect it. It is not control, but the right kind of control, and a cheerful obedience which make the free man.”
I often refer to these boundaries as God’s umbrella of protection. So I pray God’s Word for that protection for me and my loved ones here.
Replace the pronouns with the appropriate ones for the person (or yourself) that you are praying for.

I appreciate you sharing A.T. Pierson’s quote, Lauren.

Thanks for visiting, Lisa!
Yes! Boundaries are good things! It just takes maturity to realize it.
Amen.
I love the quote you shared, Lauren. I think today this is the 3rd mention of fences or boundaries that I have read. May I willingly stay under God’s umbrella of protection and enjoy all He provides there.
I love it when God does that, Joanne!
Such a GREAT post, Lauren! Praying your prayer as we speak!
I’m so glad, Tai. Thank you.
That quote from A. T. Pierson…wow. It brought such a great visual for what living in freedom should look like. As usual, I’m praying this for my family. Thanks, Lauren!
I’m so glad! Thank you, Jeanne.

Thanks for praying with me, Jennifer.
Amen, sweet friend. I am grateful for these personalized prayers to make me more conscious of my very needs.
Thank you for sharing this with me, Linda. Such an encouragement to keep going.
Amen. Praying with you Lauren. I enjoy Praying God’s Word Wednesday. The prayers are like a little prayer prompt for me. Thank you. Blessings.
I’m so glad, Paula. Just my intent.
Amen! Freedom in God only comes with surrendering to Him and His ways! You wouldn’t think there would be freedom in surrender – but in God there is!
So much freedom. And peace if we allow it into our lives.
