Great morning!  How are we faithing? As we deal with this life we become aware of things that blow us away, some sooner than others and some that baffle us so much we stand looking in unbelief. This season is wrought with political wrangling and opinion and I don't know about you but gee whiz, I'm tired of it.  At the same time that is going on I am encountering real personal issues that have people really struggling just to keep their heads above water. We all have been at that place one time or another. Some financial, some relationship stuff,  some job related and some physical. The one state we can be in that will affect the previous mentioned things is your spiritual life. Your relationship with Messiah Jesus has a direct impact on all you are and do. I have found this statement to be completely true in all circumstances,  "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." If I wear this world and allow this worlds woes to govern and control me I will inevitably look like the world and die right along with it.   If I put on the armor of God as described in the Word I will be able to endure and conquer the things that would whoop me if I do not. I am not a pack mule. I do not need to carry all these worldly things.  I have an advocate to the Father and he promised to lighten that load.  Do I still struggle with things? Sure I do because I am a man and men stuff as well as world stuff comes at me daily.  The fantastic thing that has come is the Savior Jesus the Christ and knowing my destiny is set, it allows a perspective on things and encouragement with a mindset of "what can I glean from this?" Are you struggling?  Are you trying to find your way in a sea of crap?  Turn to the only source that is above every other precept or thought process this orb can dish out.  Come to Messiah today and accept the gift of grace and salvation

Mat 11:28-30
  Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.   For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Heavenly Father,
   Thank you for your son.  Thank you for the gift of salvation.  Forgive my sins.  I accept that gift and ask you come in my heart and life to rule and to lead.  Bear my burdens. Grant me wisdom to be as you designed me to be.  Take my life and mold it into the wonderful life you designed.  Help us all see truth and to live upright and honorably .  Lord we lift those suffering in all ways today.  Comfort and heal them.  We lift our leaders and this country up to you.  Heal this nation and cause such a great awakening like has never been seen before.  Open the eyes of all in this nation to your holiness. In Jesus name we pray, amen
