What is your energy source?...  
What is your energy source?...  

Every day, about mid-afternoon, I get that rundown and tired feeling.



It’s usually during the middle of whatever I am working at or trying to focus on.



I generally stop my work and grab a legal source of liquid amphetamines like coffee or the healthiest version of energy drink I can find.



This refreshes me and gets me through the rest of my day as my alertness returns.



What about those times when our soul is weary?



Do you experience times when it seems like you are all alone and feel like you are facing a Goliath of a challenge?



I have found the solution that works for me and it is not in a can.



I remember that I am not alone and that I have the Holy Spirit of our almighty God living inside of me!



I remind myself that HE will never give me anything that He does not think I can handle and with that assurance, I face the challenge and keep walking through it…



Check your experience…



“Our ideas did not work. But the God idea did” Big Book pg. 52



Lord, remind our hearts during those trying times when doubt tries to enter our minds that you are in us and with us and that we can overcome whatever obstacle seems to be in our path, AMEN.  



“but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not be faint.” Isaiah 40:31  



Have a blessed day y’all!

Worry makes things seem bigger than they are.


I am curious to learn if anyone ever gained from worrying?



I don't have any record of this.



Why do we allow our fears and expectations to grow inside of us and gain strength over our minds and hearts?



Human nature is prone to this and free will allows this to happen, robbing us of our peace and stealing our energy and focus.



Did you know that you can trade those worries, fears, and expectations for grace?



Try this for the next few days...



Every time you catch yourself building a case for a good worry, write it down on a piece of paper and put it in a drawer that can serve as your God box.



Tell God the worry is now His and move on with your day!



You can do this.


It works!



Try it and as always then….



Check your experience…  



“There you will find release from care, boredom and worry.” Big Book pg. 152



Lord let us fill our God box with our fears, worries, and troubles and leave them with You, allowing us to move forward and see how we can turn our focus to helping others, AMEN.  



“Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.” 1 Peter 5:7



Have a blessed day Y’all!

Join me in looking at the things we face daily with passages from both the Big Book and Bible!

When the going gets rough…


Have you ever been at that point where your mind leads you to wonder about what you are doing?



Have you ever held thoughts of why you should keep giving the effort if nothing seems to be coming from it?  



Have you?  



Good, then, I am not crazy and you are not alone!



Part of our walk while we are here is to build up our faith muscles and strengthen our spiritual endurance.



Maybe it’s God testing us or perhaps it’s the worldly clamors the Enemy uses to distract us, but these trying times do occur.



The great news is that we have an out!  



When we became born again as believers and followers of Christ, the Holy Spirit entered each of us and now covers and protects us even when we cannot seem to see or feel it.



Keep on Keeping on!



It will get better...



Check your experience…



“This we did because we honestly wanted to, and were willing to make the effort.” Big Book pg 26



Lord, please remind our hearts in those lonely times where we want to question our efforts that You are here with us and will see us through the challenges, AMEN.  



“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10



Have a blessed day Y’all!
