How You Feeling My Friend?

Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD.Psalm 31:24

Mood and feelings come and go. Some days you may feel lazy and have trouble getting started. Others you just sort of want to be at peace and maybe get a cup of tea or coffee and sit and read scripture and talk to God.

As I am writing this we are having a rare occurrence in the high dessert of Idaho…rain! It sounds good, it smells good and it is long overdue and needed after a severe drought curtailed irrigation ditches from running. Soon the colder temperatures will turn it to the fluffy white stuff, a winter sportsmen delight! But it is time to sit, listen, stop striving , and give thanks. 

Let go of burdens, guilt, troubles, wrong thinking, hurts from people in your past and focus on the goodness of the Lord and how he has got the whole world in his hands. You have prayed things burdening your heart and God heard you now he wants you to trust him and rest. Enjoy this day and don’t let fabricated worries and the prodding of Satan steer you off course. You have got this. Keep going! 

PRAYER: Lord I long for peaceful days with no schedules or agendas. I can sit and think of blessings and let go of complaining, harmful thoughts, fears, and just enjoy relaxing in your presence. Use me today once again to shine your light into someone’s heart. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
