A Source of Comfort - Psalm 89:1-10
David's heart-felt cries for help fill the Psalms. His prayers are a blend of requests and worship that recall the Lord's greatness, power, and protection. Praying with a recognition of God's amazing attributes reminds us that He has the wisdom, strength, and compassion to meet all of our needs.
"Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence?" (Psalm 139 ). God is everywhere. He is not limited by time or space, which means that we have never been away from His awareness for so much as a single moment. Even when we feel isolated or friendless, we are not alone, because God's presence covers the world.
"Great is our Lord and abundant in strength; His understanding is infinite" (Psalm 147:5). God knows everything. When we bend our knees to pray, He is already aware of the feelings and needs we are about to mention. So we can be certain that when we ask for direction, He will provide clear guidance if we are submitted to His will.
"With [God] there is no variation or shifting shadow" (James 1:17). God's character is constant. Since we can always trust that He will be faithful, reliable, and merciful, we're able to place confidence in Him in any situation.
When a believer recalls an attribute of God that meets his need, he places the focus of his prayer on the Lord rather than on the request. By mixing praise into our prayers, we end up asking for less, worshipping better, and receiving more.

The Coffee or The Cup!
This really is profound, I am going to try and keep this in mind the next time I feel "stressed".....
A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor.
Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. Offering his guests coffee,
the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups -
porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite -
telling them to help themselves to the coffee. When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand,
the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up,
leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves,
that is the source of your problems and stress. Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee.
In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you
really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups... And then you began
eyeing each other's cups. Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society
are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not define,
nor change the quality of life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy
the coffee God has provided us." God brews the coffee, not the cups.......... Enjoy your coffee!
"The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything."
Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God

Psalm 71: 19-21
Also Your righteousness, O God, is very high,
You who have done great things;
O God, who is like You?
You, who have shown me great and severe troubles,
Shall revive me again,
And bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
You shall increase my greatness,
And comfort me on every side.

1. The Bible will still have all the answers.
2. Prayer will still work.
3. The Holy Spirit will still move.
4. God will still inhabit the praises of His people.
5. There will still be God-anointed preaching.
6. There will still be singing of praise to God.
7. God will still pour out blessings upon His people.
8. There will still be room at the Cross.
9. Jesus will still love you.
10. Jesus will still save the lost.
God whispers in your soul and speaks to your mind. Sometimes when you
don't have time to listen, He has to throw a brick at you. It's your
choice: Listen to the whisper, or wait for the brick.

Today I will look for the positive side in everyone I meet. I will look beyond their limitations. I will forgive anyone who might offend me. I will display a cheerful, positive disposition.
