Why worry?.. 

Schedules conflict, appointments run long, and our responsibilities never seem to end! 

Now maybe it’s different for you but when I find myself, as I often do, mentally leaving the present situation because my mind wants me to start focusing on where it thinks I should be according to the “plan”, I must remind myself that this is where I need to be and now is where my focus needs to be. 

Wringing my hands, pacing, checking my watch, calendar, or phone, won’t move the time any faster. 

I have learned that the root cause of all of this for me is my fear-based mind’s desire to worry. 

The solution I must force myself at times to grab and hold onto is that God has me right here right now for His own reasons and I need to be awake and present in this moment and not lost in thoughts and worry over my day not matching up with my calendar. 


Worry won’t change a thing, except to make your present situation more uncomfortable… 

Check your experience… 

“Nothing, absolutely nothing happens in God's world by mistake.” Big Book pg. 417 

Lord, let us trade in our worries for your grace and guidance, AMEN. 

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4: 6-7 

Have a blessed day Y’all!

We gotta supply the mustard...

There is a good story about prayer I learned long ago. 

It's a reflective question and goes something like this; 

If you sit in a dark closet all alone and pray for a hot dog, will God bring you one? 

Now unless you live under a rock you know the obvious answer is no. 

Hopefully your prayers give you the willingness to get up and provide your own action to go and get the hot dog. 

This concept is applicable to other things in our lives. 

Prayer opens our heart to provide the actions and efforts on our part needed to bring about the changes we are seeking. 

When my actions and efforts match what I am praying for, good things happen… 

Check your experience… . 

"Faith without works is dead." Big Book pg. 88 

Lord, please remind us that You can and will answer prayers, but we must supply the willingness in our efforts and actions, AMEN. 

“What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also, faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.” James 2: 14-17 

Have a blessed day Y'all!

He is risen, nothing to fear...

This Easter Sunday I am humbled with the newness that the Risen Christ brings to our lives. 

Being reminded of how His death conquered all that drags us down and truly brings me back to the roots of our faith and our freedom. 

The daily routines, issues, challenges, and habits of our lives can easily distract and pull us away from the life changing truth that is ours on a daily basis. 

Eternal life is ours for the asking. 

All we gotta do is ask and believe… 

Check your experience… 

 “…we had to stop doubting the power of God.” Big Book pg. 52 

Lord, Thank you that Christ is risen! Please help us today to walk in the power and grace of the risen Christ. Please let us always seek Your will and not be stifled by our own, Amen. 

“The angel spoke to the women: “There is nothing to fear here. I know you're looking for Jesus, the One they nailed to the cross. He is not here. He was raised, just as he said …." Matthew 28:5-6

Have a blessed day Y’all!
