We all experience some kind of stress in life and it's up to us to figure out how to deal with our stress and still balance life.  Stress is related to responsibilities and how we jungle things and keep our faith alive. We wear so many hats in life but it's all about taking one day at a time and trusting
God along the way. We need to stop worrying about what we need to do and deal with what we are doing.  That's very important and the best way to handle stress is to prioritize our lives and get organized.  We can't do everything but we can do what we can when we can.  2 Corinthians 4:16 Therefore, we are not discouraged; rather, although our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. Amen

It's very important to keep our faith each day.  With everything happening in the world today, it's so easy to get distracted but we still have to stand still and Let God continue to follow his plan.  God doesn't make mistakes and He's still in control of it all.  We are living in Gods house and we are blessed to be under His roof each day.  Let's continue to keep the faith and know that God is carrying us the way

Footprints in the Sand
 
 
        One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
             Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
                  In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
                       Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,
                           other times there were one set of footprints.
 
                                  This bothered me because I noticed
                                that during the low periods of my life,
                             when I was suffering from
                         anguish, sorrow or defeat,
                     I could see only one set of footprints.
 
          So I said to the Lord,
      "You promised me Lord,
         that if I followed you,
             you would walk with me always.
                   But I have noticed that during
                          the most trying periods of my life
                                 there have only been one
                                       set of footprints in the sand.
                                           Why, when I needed you most,
                                          you have not been there for me?"
 
                                 The Lord replied,
                          "The times when you have
                  seen only one set of footprints,
          is when I carried you."

The world needs more people who want to make a difference and bring hope to the world.  God has given all of us a second chance and He's always giving us more chances each day. When we don't do right to bring peace, we're disrespecting God, ourselves and others.  Let's want to do right and want to bring hope and want to have peace in our lives.  There are so many crazy things going on in life, why add to the madness but instead let's do what God ask and love. Amen

The world needs people who are willing to be a light for Jesus. There are so many who are  having a hard time doing the right thing when they encounter various situations.  It wise to always stand up for God when we know something is not right and especially when it's up to us  to make a decision.  We all know what we do and everything that we do affects someone in a positive or a negative way.  Let's pray and ask God to help us to become stronger so we can be that light so that we can become better people.

God works in our lives all the time and throughout the day we see a lot of acts of kindness through people.  When we take one day at a time and focus on what's in front of us, we will begin to see the wonderful deeds through others and how God is working in our lives.  It's crazy out here but I know that God is still in control. Let's stay focused on our faith and know without a doubt that God is still with us.  Let's continue to have dignity, show kindness to one another so our world would not to divided but will be One Body of Christ.  Remember It starts with us so let's continue to make a difference. Amen 

We are all so blessed and each day God blesses us with miracles and wonderful things that happen in our lives.  Each day is truly a gift and we really should make sure we keep our faith and trust God.  It's very important to know that God does wonders all the time and if we look in front of us and around us each day, we will begin to see the goodness of our Lord.  Let's learn to take one day at a time and really focus on God's Love, God's Mercy and God's gift to all of us.  Amen

Dear Lord,
As we awaken to another day, Thank You all the time for blessing us.  Lord the love that You give to us is so wonderful and we need You so much in our lives.  Lord You tell us all the time to love our neighbor, forgive them and try and be an example for all.  Lord, we  need You to give us the strength and the courage to do that.  We need to learn to focus more on the main things in life first, like being humble, not thinking of ourselves first but listening to Your word and to be the light to give hope to the world.  We need to make sure our actions are more like Jesus so as we live and pray, please help us to prioritize what's important by fixing ourselves first because if we don't know how to handle situations or how to deal with people with love, we are wasting our time and not getting closer to You.  Lord help us and please guide us to do what you want us to do one day at a time.  Thank You Lord and Amen

Through all of the chaos, we still have to be positive and continue to practice our faith. It doesn't matter what we see or hear, what we're dealing with or how we feel, God is still in control and He still has His eye on the sparrow.  God is all about love and the day we stop loving is the day that we're putting a pause on moving forward and following the right path.  The answer to all things is love and when we love others, love ourselves, love people and of course Love God first, we always win.  In doing this, we'll have peace, happiness and the ability to live with wisdom, understanding and know that our relationship with God is the key.  Thank you Lord. Amen

Through all of the things that are going on in life, we still have been blessed with another day and it's up to us to do what we think is best.  I don't know about you but God is the answer to gaining peace, having joy and even having the ability to get up another day positive.  It's grace and we really have to make it a priority to listen to God, want to hear His words and thank Him for His Mercy.  Let's be grateful people for all that He has done.  Thank You Lord. Amen 

God gives all of us wisdom and it's so important to maintain our relationship with Him so we can understand how to deal with situations and still know how to love one another even in difficult times.  Wisdom only comes from God and if we don't have wisdom life will be hard.  God tells us is Proverbs 2:2 turning your heart to wisdom inclines your heart to understanding. Let's be open to wisdom so we can learn to handle ourselves well and at the same time still serve the mission set by God. Amen
