this quote packs a punch

worry such a waste

Turn your worry into peace

Key # 1 ot JOY: Break Up with all that's negative

When you are in a bad relationship you break up. You end it. If you have a relationship with fear and worry, it’s time to break up.  Stop it. Dismiss it. End it. Let go of fear. Fear kills faith. Worry takes up too much space and effort in your life. You may be thinking, “Well, you must not worry or fear anything.”  My response is “Au contraire.” My entire life has been full of both. I learned from the masters, my mother and aunts. They have perfected it. I have seen them invent things to worry about. If you are just beginning to fear and worry, then break the habit NOW. If, like me, it’s been a lifelong pursuit, then start breaking up NOW. Realize how much of it never happens. Give it to God. He can handle it and then let it go. If you don’t believe me, just give it a week. See if you don’t feel better and have more peace and rest.

 

 

give it all to GOD

do your worry? DON'T

worry? you've heard all the clichés. simply don't! it cures nothing, solves nothing and only sets you back!

struggling with release

first light

day's worries begin as I rise

full light

the day's worries mount graddually at my spirit

fading light

the day's worries accumulate in familiar numbers

at my soul's door

last light

the day's worries lay down with me

i don't sleep

Day 68 random thoughts....

and sleep will not come AGAIN!

Why is sleep so evasive?

Can you be too tired to sleep?

My body begs for rest.

My mind screams for silence.

My soul pleads for hope.

My spirit hurts for expression.

My heart searches for meaning.

Psalm 19:14

"May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to your sight

O Lord."

(but are they?)

"Rock of ages, cleft for me,

Let me hide myself in thee."

(my quest)

the indwelling presence of God

from which no one and no thing

can separate me

I will stay on His path

following closely, hoping

in the dark He guides me still

though life is still littered

with debris from a storm long gone

I know the calm presence

of God and His angels

when and how much?

even when doubtful

I know He has not left me alone

all fears and worries melt

despite their nagging presence

God is still God and

all is right in His kingdom

staying within the righteous fold

I will survive

another day's battle will be fought and won

AND

life will proceed
