 Good morning! How are we faithing? It seems that whenever I run into a brick wall so to speak or I start to wonder, "what's it all for?" Things happen that make it quite apparent what God is up to. Do I see it at the time? Typically nay. Maybe I'm dense, wrapped up in my own deal or maybe when we get to that point where we feel like we're walking in a soup like thick fog, God is working. For me a lot of times it's later before I pick up on it hence I say "duh" alot. Sound familiar? So if this takes place, what are we to do? This is where the Word study and following the principles of God regardless of the circumstances is pertinent. We know that God's ways are always right so when we can't seem to get it together so to speak, remember the principles we have learned in our studies and trust them to lead us out of the fog. Picture driving in thick fog and all you have is a set of lights and that yellow stripe on the road to follow. God lights the way and that word is the line we follow. Slow down when you get lost in the fog and concentrate on God and his principles.

Ephesians 6:10-112
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
NIV

Zechariah 10:12
I will strengthen them in the LORD and in his name they will walk," declares the LORD.
NIV

Isaiah 41:10
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
NIV

Isaiah 40:29
He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.
NIV

Hebrews 13:20-21
May the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
NIV

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for always being there for us. Help us see the work you have for us and help us understand our roles. Lord we lift those who flounder and struggle with life. Protect their minds from the junk that would ruin them. Forgive our selfishness and our neglect of your Word. We wish to honor and serve you but the world gets in the way. Help us focus where we need to focus. Help us see needs and act accordingly. Lord be with our neighbors and help us help them find you, in Jesus name, Amen
