Do I fear the gathering clouds of sorrow? Tell it to Jesus. Tell it to Jesus. Am I anxious about tomorrow? Tell it to Jesus alone. An honest talk with God is the first step in finding peace of mind. What shall I say to those things that trouble me? God is for me! Who or what can be against me? (Romans 8:31, Psalm 88) These scriptures have been the expression of my emotional state at the start of this date. As the night surrendered to this day, the atmosphere surrounding me collapsed. I didn't want to go to bed upset. So I prayed. God please pave my way with light. Lighten my burdens with love. Let your way for me be revealed with clarity and exactness. Although I know my present circumstances shall pass, I find letting go and turning it all over to God is so difficult. Yet, God knows my pains, my fears, my misguided notions which push me further away from who I am and what I am here to do. What's going to happen is going to happen. Am I where I'm supposed to be? Be the softness in my voice; the gentleness in my spirit, and the clarity of mind. Amidst the obstacles and challenges I see, show me the way around or through them. Let me no longer be hindered or obstructed. Lord make me so uncomfortable that I will do the very thing I fear. I'm tense, restless and finding hell is breaking loose because I need to grow. Yet I find myself still staying where I don't belong. How long will I continue in this pain? I guess until I want to move. The old remedies aren't working. I'm cutting myself down to fit into a situation I know I don't belong and it is the very source of my pain. I've got to move forward and get outta here.
