struggling with the world...

In struggling with what is going on in our world today - the lawlessness, the quest for power and control, the evil that seems to abound everywhere, the self-centered focus, the truth ignored and disregarded - it is easy to get caught up in it all and become stuck in a quagmire of anxiousness while slowly losing hope…

But as I ponder upon this I am reminded of Jesus' words "My yoke is easy and my burden is light" and as we walk in this world and continue to struggle with what is happening around us may we set our path on the following:

Help me Father God to keep the focus where it should be - on You and not on this world and its ways.

Help me Lord Jesus to be a light to the lost and a discipler to other believers.

Help me Holy Spirit to be a faithful and loving husband to my wife and a devoted father to my children.

AND lead me to pray in faith at all times…

For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world--our faith. (1 John 5:4)

Matthew 11:28-30 Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.  "Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS.  "For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
