With You!

Psalms chapter 143 verse 10.
"Help me to do Your will, for You are my God. Lead me in good paths, for Your Spirit is good."

How are you going to start your day off today? Are you just going to play out the day as the challenges and temptations come at you? Or are you going to start your day by asking God to walk with you.
   Enough mistakes get made that we don't need to add more. How much can you take before you get frustrated? Are you tired and run down? Did you enjoy your holidays and now dread getting back to work? What person is going to be the bossy one? Do you even see that you are the one who is on edge and not everyone else?
   It is hard to maintain stature when surrounded by people who have opinions. All people have things that they are dealing with and that can affect the way people talk and behave. So don't you be the one who adds stress to a situation that may be already on the verge of failing.
   You maybe asking what it is I am talking about? I'm talking about your life and how to maintain peace, sensibility and joy. We all have things we have to face each day and how we feel affects the way we will handle situations as they arise. It is the way that we act that others see and themselves have to work with also.
   You see? We affect others and others affect us! So are you still going to face each day head on taking each situation as it comes and hope for a good outcome? Or are you going to awake in the morning and ask God to walk with you. He can see the outcome of situations before they happen so why not ask Him to guide your paths? Ask Him to give you the right thoughts so that the right words are spoken that will bring praise and honor to Him.
   Each day can be challenging. Words hurt the most and they can quickly turn any situation into a mess. Extra work added to you can add, unneeded stress. Were you ready to shovel the overnight snowfall? or deal with the unruly driver who cut you off?
   Jesus says bring your burdens to Me and I will share in your work load. Helping you to have the needed direction, giving you the right paths to walk upon. Peace brings joy and contentment. Wisdom helps us have the understanding and common sense needed to be successful. God can give you all you need to face each day. Lean upon Him. He wants you too, so that you will praise Him for the love He freely gives that affects all that you do.
   Thank-you Father for being there. For the restful sleep and the refreshing way to start the day. Thank-you for walking with us, pointing us in the right directions keeping us safe and filled with the confidence that you are there.
