Praying for peace for our families and health and safety also.

Do you ever feel like you are on the “Same Merry-go-Round but a Different Horse!”

Do you ever get tired of the stress in your life? Do you ever feel that the prayer reservation you made with the Lord has been canceled and the hopes and dreams you have had for years will never happen? Sometime I think I’m on the same merry-go-round but a different horse. Have you ever felt that way?
But who am I to think that God should be on my timetable?

If it costs you nothing, it's worth nothing! Endurance is the
price tag of achievement. Listen, "We pray that you'll have the strength...not the grim strength of gritting your teeth but the strength God gives...that endures the unendurable and spills over into joy" (Col 1:11 The Message)

The Lord, the Lord God almighty will be our comfort, strength and hope when all of those things seem far away. When the hurt seems unbearable, when the days seem endless and fruitless, He and He alone will be our strong Help. Oh the pain in a mother’s heart when she sees the turmoil of addiction overtake that precious child. Oh, the love she feels, but also knows she is helpless, powerless and cannot wave the magic wand and make it all okay.

Surround all who read this today with Your peace, love and Hope. We see the picture from below, the flawed strings; the messed-up threads, but You see the beautiful tapestry from heaven that is the complete, full and beautiful work of art. We yield to You dear Lord and still we pray. Help, us Lord this day and please be with that one who is hurting the most; you know who it is. This prayer was inspired by the many sisters among us, who are mighty blessings and forces to be contended with in the fight against addictions. May their burdens be lifted. We are praying over at Somebody's Mother; please feel free to join us:

A good word to start the day: "Yet, the LORD longs to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion.
For the LORD is a God of justice.
Blessed are all who wait for him!" (Isaiah 30:18). Don't give up when you are waiting:)
