Do you ever feel like you are tied in a knot
and have no idea of how to get straightened out?
Sometimes my life is so difficult
Trust in the LORD with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight.
Proverbs 3:5-6

and have no idea of how to get straightened out?
Sometimes my life is so difficult
that it seems to be tied in a knot.
I get anxious.
I absolutely cannot manage things on my own
and tend to make them worse
when I try to proceed.
However, when I pray
and put everything in God's hands,
He untangles the threads one by one
that were tied so tightly.
He smooths out the bumps and loops.
It seems so simple when He gets done.
I can see clearly now,
when before it had been such a tangled mess.
He puts His hands on my shoulders
and I can feel His loving presence
calming my anxiety
and taking my worries away.
He shows me the way to proceed.
And it always works.
And do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Jesus has the incredible ability to straighten out our messes
when we surrender to Him and His love.

Prayer Request
5 people were shot and killed at a newspaper in Maryland yesterday. 2 more were injured. This makes my heart ache. There has been way too much violence. Please pray for everyone involved. Please pray that all people allow God into their hearts and allow Him to work. This world needs Jesus more than ever. He is the only solution to all our problems. He can work out solutions where none existed before. And He always will - if we just cooperate. Please pray that we all cooperate.
Both flowers are beautiful.
The one in the sun is more beautiful just because the sun shines on it.
We and our lives are so much more beautiful
when the Son (Jesus) shines on us.
May God bless you greatly,
my friend!
