daily prayer

Good morning! How did we faith this week? Tough week in some respects and then again it was a joyous one. Even when junk happened it still was good to be alive. Granted there were times we'd rather be taking a nap but...
You know, the stuff we take in molds us. The stuff we see and hear during our week can set up inside and cause peace or turmoil. That same stuff can cause elation or despair. What we take in will influence our being even if it's slow, it will influence us. If all we took in was TV, we would be like we see. If all we took in was the newspaper, we would be depressed most of the time. Some good advice is to take in the Word of God every day. One minute or ten minutes worth, one verse or one chapter, it matters not. Make that habit of getting into the Word daily. You have to feed your spirit with Gods Word or it will get fed elsewhere. In my line of work I meet tons of people and it is easy for me to see influences. I'm not judging just observing. You're depressed and scared yet you wont go to the source of freedom and peace. You don't rest because the world events scare the snot out of you. You stay angry, sometimes not even knowing why, yet you keep reading about angry events and people. Balance man...balance. The Word will reveal peace, truth, knowledge, love and guidance. Just make yourself start today with your own personal time with God in his Word. Start with the scripture quoted here, believe me when I say it will progress and grow...

Ps 119:9-16
How can a young man keep his way pure?
By living according to your word.
I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands.
I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.
Praise be to you, O LORD; teach me your decrees. With my lips I recount all the laws that come from your mouth. 14 I rejoice in following your statutes as one rejoices in great riches.
I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways.
I delight in your decrees; I will not neglect your word.
NIV

Ps 119:37
Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according to your word.
NIV

Ps 119:130
The unfolding of your words gives light;it gives understanding to the simple. NIV
