     Good morning! How are we faithing? The news is full of talking heads lately. Blame and finger pointing without the facts. Emotions allowed to rule thought. I understand anguish. I understand why some lash out. I understand pain. So does our savior. Our savior went through more than any of us and although it is hard right now for you, focus on Jesus. Get into the Word and seek truth. If you have to throw a tantrum to relieve stress, do it where no one is punished for your pain. I do have the luxury of a field so I can find ways to relieve that stress and to talk to my Lord without people thinking I'm crazy for talking to myself or for people getting hurt in collateral damage. Look at these verses today and pray for wisdom and healing.

James 1:19-20
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
KJV

Proverbs 8:32
"Now therefore, O sons, listen to me,
For blessed are they who keep my ways.
NAS

Proverbs 21:23
He who guards his mouth and his tongue,
Guards his soul from troubles.
NAS

Proverbs 19:11
A man's discretion makes him slow to anger,
And it is his glory to overlook a transgression.
NAS

Proverbs 14:29
He who is slow to anger has great understanding,
But he who is quick-tempered exalts folly.
NAS

Job 6:24
"Teach me, and I will be silent;
And show me how I have erred.
NAS

Heavenly Father,
   Thank you for your wisdom found in your Word. Lord we ask for that wisdom to be evident and visible as we deal with the stress of life. Lord we want to follow your ways but we stumble and sometimes fall flat on our face. Help us not inflict pain as we grow in your statures. Heal those who are sick and we ask all things in your holy name, amen
