“True rest is not getting away from life’s demands but allowing God to carry you through them.”

—Richard Foster

Lord, I lay my burdens at Your feet and ask for the renewal only You can provide. Fill me with peace and revitalize my spirit.  

Lord, help me to trust You with all that is ahead. Strengthen my faith and remind me that Your plans are good and full of hope.

All you have is today. Centering your life around meeting with God is all about the choices you make today. The way you choose to live right now will impact your days to come. Don’t worry about your track record. Don’t concern yourself with the idea of meeting with Jesus every day for the rest of your life. Simply choose to enjoy him today. “Sufficient for the day is its own trouble” (Matthew 6:34). (Craig Denison)

Sometimes I feel like I am far away from the God that I love and serve.  My own demands in my mind/psychic pull me away from Him.  Enjoy the moment I am in sweeps into the future with fears of death, and life.  I know that all I have is the moment I am in and yet I still allow myself to move forward with life, and that is what I do not want to do. Choices- right choices are imperative in life.  God grant me theserenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, and Wisdom to know the difference.  Help me know the way you want me to change my thoughts if they don’t align with yours.  Even though I feel like I am away from you, I know my feelings are not validated by your words in scripture, you never change – I am the one that vacillated from your promises.  Jesus is faithful to His Word.  I can draw a straight line from Genesis to Revelation, and I will find God does not change anything that is written in it
