Knowledge is power
Remember tha man at the Pool of Bethesda. Sometimes I think I feel that way.
" I have no one to help me"
Let me encourage you with THE TRUTH today. You have Jesus Christ pleading for you at the right hand of the Father 24/7. God will not refuse his son.

Keep on keeping on.
Plant a thought, reap an act.
Plant an act reap a habit.
Plant a habit reap a character.
Plant a character reap a destiny.
God tells us to pray and to pray unceasingly. Ok, sometimes we just feel we need to take a break or feel we’re all prayed out. When this happens take this exhaustion to God. It won’ t be long until you feel his warm, loving embrace and reassuring words that he will help you and have his son Jesus intercede and pray on your behalf.
But when we are back to our old selves we need to press forward again in our prayer life. Prayer is the key to change. We may stumble and fall from time to time for we won’t be perfect until we our united with our Father who art in Heaven. So don’t be discouraged. Repent ask God for forgiveness and get going again. ASAP.
God tells us to keep praying for a reason. He made us. He knows what we need to do. It is the only way to bear fruit.

A letter from Jesus.
My dear sweet child, be still and know that I am real. I love you. Right now, I am helping you. I know how much you are hurting but I am with you now, more than ever. At times you doubt this help and feel overwhelmed by your problems. I want you to know today, that they are not your problems, they are mine. Be still and know that I will solve them for you. I love you my precious one and will never abandon you. I am with you now by your side as you read these words and will remain there forever. I am with you tonight as you lay down your sweet head. I am with you in the night whenever you doubt and I will be with you as you arise in the morning. Today, choose to rejoice! Not because you have adversity, not because of your difficulties, but because I am so much bigger and stronger than anything that could come against you!

Do your best and God will do the rest
Life as you know isn't always easy. For some it can be an incredible battle of hardships at times. Maybe you feel you are not going anywhere in your health, finances or spiritual growth. Everyone has doubts at times and everyone makes mistakes. Perhaps you are failing your goal of being stoic in times of suffering. Even the esteemed JFK when warned his back operation may kill him, replied that he rather be dead than suffer the pain anymore. Perhaps it is something smaller like taking up smoking again or having that drink you promised you wouldn't. Maybe you are down on yourself for praying not to do something only to find yourself do it a few minutes later. Spiritual and personal growth can often take time. Everyone has doubts and frustration. The important thing is not to get too down on yourself. Even Jesus cried out to our Heavenly Father: "why have you deserted me?" So relax a little if you lose heart because you are certainly in good company. All you have to do, is your best, even if this means failing at times. Doing your best means that their is nothing else you can do. When you do your best, God says OK now its my turn to fix this problem. So relax a little today knowing that God sees every effort you make and not the failings.

Christmas comes early.
Its advent tommorrow and with that comes a time of peace and reflection. Peace I hear someone groan....what about the office party, street party, family reunion and the guy in acccounts going away drinks next week?
This Christmas season, give yourself a gift. Learn to say No.
Give Christmas back to Christ as much as you can and remember it is about the birth of our Savior who came to bring us peace.
Say no to the little things so you can have so much more of the bigger thing.
