We are like Teabags whose true strength comes out when put in hot water.
When problems upset you, just think you must be God's favorite cup of tea!
God bless you!
Making Great Decisions…
Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed. (Proverbs 16:3)
If you are presently at any cross-road, here are a few thoughts on decision-making:
(1) Trust the "still, small voice."
Even after you've prayed, done your homework and made your best call,
if your spiritual gut says "no," ... pay attention!
The Bible says: "We should make plans, counting on God to direct us" (Proverbs 16:9).
Henry Ward Beecher wrote: "Wisdom means finding the way in which God is going, and going that way too."
During the American Civil War somebody asked Abraham Lincoln if he was sure that God was on his side.
"I haven't thought much about it" he replied, "I just want to know I'm on God's side!"
Isaiah says: "He that believeth shall not make haste" (Isaiah 28:16).
God sees your whole life, not just your tomorrow.
So listen for His voice,
adopt His pace and don't rush things.
Remember, He's directing your steps - and your stops! (See Psalm 37:23).
(2) Let it go!
Once you've made your final decision, fear and faith will both sail into your harbour.
Allow only faith to drop anchor!
Paul said: "Forgetting what is behind... I press on" (Philippians 3:13-14).
Once the die is cast, let it go!
It's normal to speculate about how you'd like things to turn out,
but you can't control the future,
and unfulfilled expectations only create misery.
Plus, when you're overly focused on how things should be,
you miss out on how they are -
which is usually much better than you imagined!
Listen to His “still small voice”:
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you a hope and future.”

Daily Prayers
The Apostle's Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried, He descended into hell; the third day He arose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty, from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
