Do you have a lot on your plate? I know I do, and my responsibilities can seem extremely overwhelming when I take my eyes off of Jesus.
Sometimes you're on top of the world; other times the world is on top of you, but Jesus is not to be doubted. We cannot give up when our circumstances are weighing us down. We must look to the Rock that is higher than our most difficult situation (Psalm 61:2).
Peter got out of the boat. He was able to do the impossible as long as he stayed focused on Jesus, but once he took his eyes off of the solution, fear began to pull him down.
Challenge:
- Read God's word daily starting with 5 to 10 minutes.
- Pray without ceasing. If you don't know what to pray, begin praying the Psalms.
- Keep a journal by your night table and record your dreams.
- Memorize scripture. It helps fight against intruding thoughts as well as give you an understanding of God's power and grace.
- Fast if possible. Fasting coupled with prayer is a dynamic duo. Powerful manifestations of God's glory appear when one is fasting and praying simultaneously.

ReplyDeleteAt number 47...I have shared a link to our meme "Lovin' My Husband" for this Domestically Divine Tuesday. In a world where women are often found complaining about their spouses, and being a "conscience" rather than a "cheerleader", we started this meme to turn the tides and CELEBRATE our men...to build them up, to share the JOYS of marriage, and to focus on the positive side of life! Come, join us and share 3 things you are LOVIN' about your husband today!
Judy, thank you for sharing.
