Hello Renee,
I read your today lesson, I am going through the same thing! My Amazing Neighbor, Friend was on June 9,2015 in a terrible Motorcycle Accident! His body was ripped to piceses and he has only a 10% chance of walking I am going about some very busy days getting some things set up for a Michael Scorro Fund Raiser the 23 year young man had no medical insurance! His medical expeneses are climbing fast! A Huge Yard Sale is being given in his honor to help raise money and donations on a web page as well I decidated a Michael Socorro Prayer and Community Support page for him! Now I have asked others for donations for the yard sale! Sent and email to Channel 9 WSOC TV to appear and help get the word out for support, as well as Miss North Carolina to please make and appearance! I have called on many churches where the folks I know attend to help with this! The vendors at Food Lion where Michael is a Store Manger works are leading a hand with some food! Michael is and amazing bright happy 23 year young man always Smiles when you see him! Very respectable outgoing person! Then I have a BFF who had major back surgery in Oct. last year since that one she has had 3 more, and a broken Left ankle. Then she was rendered not able to walk! I go and stay with her and help them out! So I can identify With having lots to do but, that is what makes me the person I am today! I always want to lend a helping hand where I can! I am all about helping others! God has gifted me with so much talents that I am so grateful and thankful for in my life. I am so blessed to be able to help others! It’s not always about being rich or poor or no talents it’s what you feel with your heart that you can do for others! Thank you for taking the time to read my personal letter! Life is great and I am glad that you are on here! May God Bless you each and every day! Unexpected Sunshine come your way each and every day!
Thank you,

Those 3 steps took me to my knees in prayer. God than sent me to Romasn 15:13 after a small reflection he sent me to Psalms 116 94-132, I know I need to rest my heart more. Stop struggling. 39 years my way and tried God’s than left. Difference this time is I don’t want to leave. But going back to doing before was a long time such a habit. I fight daily with myself to stay. I WANT TO STAY ON MY PATH WITH GOD!!!!! I am so glad that I have found such blessed women that are willing to be so open and to help others.
Thank you
God has been speaking to me in reference to m my words being his Words. To stop complaining and speak his ppromises. Meditate on his promise and simply trust Him. I want to be successful. I needed a scripture to meditate on and I found it in this devotion.
New to your blog. Would love to be apart of the conversation.
Worry is a sin. In my mind I know that, but my heart says “I am not worried I am concerned.” So many times my concern steps over the boundaries straight into worry. I have to constantly remind myself who is really in charge (and it is not me). I have to take my burdens to the cross (and leave them there). Then I have to live my life in the peace, power and the promise of God. In order to persevere and prevail I must learn to rest in Him continually. Thank you for sharing this great reminder it was just what I needed. God Bless you and your ministry!
I read your devotion today on worry and peace. I too have a problem with over-booking my self and calendar. I sometimes struggle with the “no” word and as a result overload my self. Then comes the stress, worry and headaches which usually result in my attitude turning sour and negative and I become resentful and bitter. I too will have to learn to pray about everything. Everything. Thank you for sharing. God bless!
Thank so much to P31 and the devotions. They have helped me so much over the last year and are timely! I have been praying over multiple family issues and this message reminds that God is good all the time, just give it all to him!
Ohhhh I want to quit everyday – I feel overwhelmed and inadequate to be the best mom for my kids and juggle full time job too. Praying for peace and wisdom and trust to let go and let God. Thank you for your wisdom and insight . Blessings
Trying to trust God while feeling overwhelmed!
When my husband was living it was easier not to worry. He could fix just about anything. Since he died, I am responsible for so many things-house and auto repairs and maintenance, maintaining the lawn, keeping up with finances and taxes, finding and hiring someone reliable to do all those things I cannot do. I miss my husband so much and sometimes I just try to stay busy so that I will not think about all these things. I thank God each day for the 43 years my husband and I had together.
I have been a worrier for many years. I am sick of it! I’ve been reading “A Confident Heart” , and it has been very helpful to me. I know that things will get better because God is helping me.
I thought I was off to a good start this a.m. after getting lots of Bible study time in yesterday. I woke up with a good attitude and prayed. Then, wham, it took all of about five minutes for it all to come crashing down with one innocent comment from my husband. I just took it wrong and because of pride got defensive. Rrrr! Frustrated over all “my” efforts to have a good day not working, God gently led me to my room to pray and reminded me of my prayer pocket. I felt like I needed to write down all of my burdens and leave them, symbolically, in God”s hands. After writing them out, I felt the Spirit saying that I didn’t need to stop there but needed to meditate on God’s faithfulness to help me in the past and His “BIG-ness” to help me in the future. Then,my friend sent me this Devo and I stopped and read it. Wow! Timely! Your words about it being the worries and not the workload hit their mark. Thank you for sharing the wisdom God gave you with us. Be encouraged that God used your post to confirm to my Spirit that He is breaking into my life to speak the wisdom that I need. Thank you, God, for the gift of your Holy Spirit in us and for defeating the enemy!!!
Boy did I need to read this today. Thank you so much for letting God use you.
