<\/figure>\n\n\n\n“I NEED HELP!!” was scrawled at the top of my page. It was tired, weary, frustrated with managing the household chores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I slid into Psalm 68. And here is what I wrote in my journal about that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens.\"\n--Psalm 68:19<\/pre>\n\n\n\nThis prayer flowed:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thank you, Father. I need help with my burdens. It is encouraging to read and remember that you ARE right here with me– holding them, ready to guide when I am ready to listen and follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please, oh PLEASE, Father, guide me, show me what to prioritize and how to do it. Help me to align my work with YOUR will and to do as YOU direct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All that needs to get done can and will get done. Show me how, please. Please help me to drop the ancillary and focus just on what honors you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I continued reading and found the following:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Summon your power, O God,\nShow us your strength, O God, as you have done before.\"\n--Psalm 68:28<\/pre>\n\n\n\nand then:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"You are awesome, O God, in your sanctuary;\nthe God of Israel gives power and strength to his people.\nPraise be to God.\"\n-Psalm 68:35<\/pre>\n\n\n\nI need Him. He’s got me. He always has had me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And he can have you, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He IS awesome in his sanctuary and gives power and strength to his people. We must ask, believe Him and follow his guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I pray that I do just this today (and always) and I pray the same for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Love,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good morning, sweet friends. I was thrilled with the intent of writing to you regularly once again and then, well, life got in the way once again. Tasks mounted. Time slipped. Pressure and frustration grew. I kept reading the Psalms daily, except yesterday. Somehow I missed yesterday.
