Teach Me, Lord
The way of your decrees that I may follow it to the end. Give me understanding so I may keep your law and obey it with all my heart. Direct me in the path of your commands, for there I find delight. Turn my heart toward your statutes and not toward selfish gain. Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according to your Word. Fulfill your promise to your servant so that you may be feared. Take away the disgrace I dread, for your laws are good. How I long for your precepts; In your righteousness, preserve my life.

Give God the Negatives
Faith is believing something you cannot see will happen. Fear is believing something you cannot see will happen. Confidence attracts the positive. Fear attracts the negative.
Give God the negatives. Don’t dwell on them. Take care of them privately. When you want to complain about someone, injustice, or trauma that apparently was caused by a person, take that up with the Lord out in the desert or on a mountaintop. Don’t take your murmurings to another person or live with them inside you. Confess sins, your own and those that others have committed against you, and ask to be cleansed from them. Admit what your conscience convicts you about; don’t cover it up.

Relax
When sleeplessness comes over you by whatever means, get out of bed! Don’t just lie there tossing and turning, wallowing in misery. Get up, put on a record or tape that is filled with faith and peaceful music, and let the Word and Spirit of God minister to your spirit, bring peace of mind, and create faith in your heart.

Knowledge Brings Responsibility
Your children also don’t need to know the anxiety, the tension, the anger. Don’t communicate to your children the poverty attitude or your brokenness. While for you it is a passing crisis, it can become a lifetime habit for them to overcome. Your children do not need to be responsible for the knowledge of what you are going through.

Share the LOVE, Not YOUR Miss
Outside of such confidential meetings, keep your conversation positive. No one needs to know the negatives of your situation. Though you may be going through emotional turmoil or suffering mental anguish, no one else needs to know the details. We deceive ourselves, and the enemy of our souls takes advantage when we think that we must share everything with everyone. That’s just not true.

God Is Your Blue Print
Come generous with your time, your prayers, the Gospel, your work, your grace, your mercy, your compassion, your money, and your talents. As God cleanses your motives and your mind is renewed, the evidence is in your generosity. Spend the time in prayer, then do the work that’s there.
God’s Word is your blueprint for success. Don’t be tossed to and fro by every whim, personality, feeling, or fleeting thought that comes along. Steady yourself in the Word of God.

For the Past, Reach out for Tomorrow
Those who cannot forget yesterday will never see tomorrow. Therefore, it is important that we forget the past, not look back and say, ” You know, maybe I keep one fool in the world; maybe I can still keep this going and still serve God. ” Nothing becomes dynamic in life until it becomes specific.

Plenty
You will have plenty to eat, and your hunger will be satiated; you will praise the name of the LORD your God, who has acted wondrously on your behalf. My people will never again be put to shame.
