With being sick for the past week, I am reminded how grateful I am to know that God always brings something good out of something so yucky. The Lord uses our bodies to remind us to slow down our daily grind. So sometimes getting sick is a reminder that God tells us to take care of ourselves  

Qualities to live for

We prove ourselves by our purity, our understanding, our patience, our kindness, by the Holy Spirit within us, and by our sincere love. (2 Corinthians 6:6 NLT)

Lord I want to strive each day for these qualities in my life. Let me prove to myself that there are far better things in life that can be demonstrated in service to others 

When you need help

Commit everything you do to the LORD. Trust him, and he will help you. (Psalms 37:5 NLT)

Lord I often find myself crying out for help and become impatient when the help does not come in my timing.

Lord I want to commit all my worries and fears to you so the help you desire to give me is not overlooked by me 

When moments are not calm

Grace promise

Because of his grace he declared us righteous and gave us confidence that we will inherit eternal life. (Titus 3:7 NLT)

Grace promise!! Grace is the most valuable asset we possess but we often forget that we have this very important commodity. With grace, lives can be changed, hurts can be forgiven and peace can be found. The only reason that we are allowed to possess such an important gem is because God gave grace first-free of charge with no strings attached when his son Jesus spread his arms across a cross to take every sin away!

Lord we don't like to stand in judgement because we often see all of our wrongs put on display but help us see that the only judgment we should seek is yours.

How easy it would be to be handed everything and always expect that all our prayers are answered....the truth is that you know that would never build a lasting relationship with you, if everything was given so easily.
