Reading: Romans 1, Exodus 10-11,
and Psalm 31
Scripture: Psalm 31:9, Be gracious
to me, O Lord, for I am in distress; my eye is wasted from grief; my soul and
my body also.
Observation: As I struggle though
the fact that I’m not working and not supporting my family in the normal way I
develop depression and distress. I get to the point where I don’t want to get
out of bed and take care of my daughter and look for work.
Application: Coming across this
passage reminds me that I can call out upon the lord and ask for the help and
for the blessings that he has for us. We need to remember that he has a plan
and some times his plans may be less then ideal in our eyes. But we also need
to talk to God even though he knows everything he wants us to ask for his help.
Prayer: Lord, help I am struggling
with not measuring up to the standards that are around me even if they are self
imposed. Help me to overcome the fear in side myself and charge after your
plan.
