Lord, help me deal with this stress.

1 Peter 5:7 (AMP)

⁷“casting all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with the deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully].”

The past couple of weeks I have been struck down with a backache to the extent that on a couple of Sundays I was bedridden. I actually couldn’t get out of bed. I know that I am stressed about a situation and I have been doing everything in my control to alleviate this matter but to no avail. My friend told me I cannot change the mountain, I have to change. This stressed me even more.

I now have decided to pray these verse over my life, I am so stressed I need a word to lift me up: Psalm 57 verse 1 says “I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until the disaster has passed.” Isaiah 25 verse 4 “You have been a refuge for the poor for the needy in his distress, a shelter from the storm.” Genesis 28 verse 15 “I am with you and watch over you wherever you go I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” Deuteronomy 33 verse 27 “The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.”

Prayer

Humbly, Lord, I surrender my life back into Your hands. I believe in You Lord. Today I want to cast all my anxiety on YOU. Please give me the necessary wisdom and insight to stand against this storm. Please Lord think Your thoughts through me, Lord gives me Your peace today, I need Your power and Please help me think Your thoughts today. Help me in the name of Jesus Christ Amen

2nd Wedding Anniversary!

Hey, hey it is my 2 nd anniversary! This has been an interesting time in my life and I must be honest I am starting to see the changes in my own life. Firstly remember I am a city girl with this bad ass attitude, my way or the highway. Ah, now let me tell you that doesn’t work like this. My husband has a firm hand over me and keeps me in toe. I am still my own person and have many new interests. How was my day today? Well the normal, got out of bed at 04h30 and then left the house by 06h00 arriving at work at 07h00. Then to top it off in an early morning meeting at 07h30 to 08h30, then back in the office. I worked on three projects; getting information from people isn’t that easy. I firstly completed my own scope of work, followed up with the suppliers and then going back to the next person. As I work according to my time keeping schedule I then finally got to lunch time. I...

Wisdom in Trusting God

Proverbs 3: 5-6 NIV “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.” My journey has been really interesting and there are days when I find it really difficult to trust in God. On those days I go and make all kinds of plans and I think and worry about the matter at hand and at the end of that day I am tired, frustrated and I feel sick to my stomach. Are you able to relate? It sounds so easy when you read these words “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;” Many times I take my problems to the LORD and I leave them with the LORD and after some serious thinking and worrying I go back to the LORD and take the problems back. This has been something I did for a number of years and lately, I have realized it has to change, I have to trust in the LORD. After all, God is the creator and knows the plans for...
