Mental Health Moments

When I get stressed and things run together I just need to remember His promises.

O afflicted one, storm tossed, and not comforted. Behold, I will set your stones in antimony, And your foundations I will lay in saphires. Moreover I will make your battlements of rubies, And your gates of Crystal, And your entire wall of precious stones. And all your sons will be taught of the Lord, And the well-being of your sons will be great. Isaiah 54:11-13

Sometimes I forget what God has promised me. He has promised to answer my prayers beyond my wildest dreams and in a way I never thought possible. That reminds me that God has not forgotten me even though I have a tendency to try to get ahead of things. You would think I would learn that lesson soon!

But yah, I may have done it again! I am on such an overload right now that things have a tendency to get ahead of me, forgotten or out of context. No matter how much I try to manage things I have to keep reminding myself that God has a far better plan. That plan is better because it is God's plan. That is all it needs to be a better plan. My plans don't mean much until I let God be God! So I take a deep breath, inhale...exhale!

Step back, look around and slowly start moving forward again. When God says to turn to the right I turn to the right, when God says to turn to the left I turn to the left. When God says to back up and slow down. I need to back up and slow down. God's plan is the best. No matter how good I think my plans are, unless I let God lead they are nothing! Pray! Inhale. Exhale.

Put one foot in front of the other and what God has promised will come to pass!
