Dealing with stress in my life.




Philippians 4: 7 

And the peace of God,
Which surpasses all understanding,
Will guard your hearts and your minds
In
Christ Jesus.

It is true we all deal with stress in our lives each and every day.  In the past I felt that God was stretching me just too much, I used to refer to the stretching as being stretched out like an elastic band.  The pressure and tension in my life would accumulate and I felt tired and constantly on edge.

I think of my sister going through the stretching and tension in her own life, my heart goes out to her. She is under tremendous pressure right now.  I know it isn’t my place to tell her what to do but I think she needs to take a little break and start looking after herself.

I want to encourage her and you to embrace the peace of God in our lives.  We need to learn how to guard our hearts and minds and come into the covering of the Lord Jesus Christ.  I see God working in each of our lives.  We just need to submit to the Lord Jesus.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, Abba Father, humbly I bring my life and the life of my sister into Your presence and I pray for a peace of mind.  Lord I cover myself as well as my sister with the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth.  Lord this covering I call out and ask that You will give us the necessary peace of mind.  Lord I call out asking for protection and covering of the blood of Jesus.  Holy Spirit action this for us we need You.  In the holy name of the Lord Jesus Christ.  Amen

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other.    Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’.   Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her.    One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it.   As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’.    Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl.   I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today.   I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

Help Me Stay True in Giving God His Tithe

Can I be real with you for a minute? Tithing is something I wrestle with. I try my best to be faithful, giving to the best of my ability. But let's be honest, sometimes I look around and see others who seem to be blessed in ways I'm not. They have this financial ease, this "caliber" of blessing, that can feel a world away from my own reality. And in those moments of doubt, a quiet, gentle voice reminds me: I am blessed. God does provide. He has come through for me more times than I can count, often in ways I didn't even see until later. He's always there, picking me up when I've lost it and guiding me when I'm blind to the path. My heart is so grateful for that. But my thinking still needs work. My human nature kicks in and whispers, "I earned this. I worked for this salary." It’s a constant battle to get my heart aligned with the truth. And the truth is found in verses like this: “A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the ...
