As pressure and stress bear down on me, I find joy in your commands. Your laws are always right; help me to understand them so I may live.
Psalm 119:143:144
Good Morning Jesus!
I thank You for giving me a reason to get up this morning. I thank You for giving me this life to live for You. Even when I’m tired and worn out, I know that I will move and live and exist in Your presence today!
Jesus, things are so extremely busy right now. You know how this culture pushes us to do so much at Christmas. I know that is not the way You would have me live, but I still have to work and pay bills and get ready for all the activities of the month. There are times I feel like an old time pressure cooker and I’ll explode with on more need placed on me.
I thank You so much, Jesus, for being my relief valve right now. Your Word this morning tells me I can find joy in Your scriptures. Please guide me to one I can memorize and meditate on today. Help me to focus on You through the day.
Please help me also, to be careful when I commit to something, remind me to come to You first. I don’t want to be so stressed, I want to be a light for You. Show me what needs to be done and what I can let go of.
Thank You for being my LORD and Savior!
Amen
