I get so frustrated, aggravated, irritated, explosive!

Ever feel like freaking out!
Too much stress?
Can't even seem to get your prayer time?

"The eternal God is My refuge.   Deuteronomy 33:27

A place to flee.
A sanctuary,
and an escape from misunderstanding,
from even yourself!
God is your refuge.
In His greatness,
you forget your smallness, meanness and limitations.
Until the relief of safety merges into the joy of appreciation of your refuge.
and you absorb Him,
and absorbing Him you gain strength to conquer.

On my own I get so frustrated, aggravated, irritated, explosive.
Help us to walk with You.
Without you Lord, we are only concerned with self preservation
and control of our surroundings.
With You we can think about others,
care for them
Because of You, we feel whole.
We don't have to hoard our splintered pieces together to stay whole,
because You are our wholeness.
You glue all our pieces where they need to be,
You are the boundary around us to keep us whole.
Without you we are splintered and torn by our thoughts, desires and actions.
With You everything gets its meaning and purpose.

The prayer "thy will be done".....
I can only pray that wholeheartedly as I grow to know You more.
I give You my fear and mistrust of You.
You hold us close, and we know You are remaking us, healing us.
Help us not to have fear.

"There is a spot on earth, a sphere of influence that belongs only to you.
It has been given to you by God.
It is possible for you to bring about God's complete will in your sphere of influence here on earth.
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
What if everyone really brought God's will to the little sphere that is his."
