I can’t. … HE can. … I think I will let Him….
The pressures of everyday life can become overwhelming. 
Especially when we fall under the worldly illusion that we must do it all alone, by ourselves and perfectly. 
Friends, please know that you are never, ever, alone! 

The Holy Spirit lives in our hearts and will see us through times of stress and uncertainty. 
Have you tried allowing God to carry those heavy burdens?..

Lord remind our hearts in times of stress and heaviness that You are with us and ready to shoulder the load, AMEN. 

Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28

Keep pressing on… 
Have you noticed how much more automated our lives have become? 
From the GPS systems in our devices and cars to the “smart” appliances that can alert us to when they need attention or restocking, we now have more things than ever that can do our thinking and work for us. 
While automation is a nice convenience that allows us to focus our time and attention on other matters, how do we keep our focus on our spiritual growth? 
I enjoy my daily Bible study along with the spiritual tools and devotions that are delivered to me daily via email, but I remain grateful that I still have to apply the humble willingness to study and learn daily. 
Applying what I learn in the Word to my life daily helps me to keep walking with Jesus and pressing on toward His will for me. 
Thank goodness I have not automated this part of my life! 

This would block me off from the sunlight of His Spirit and I could become lost in the illusions of this material world.  How about you? 

What parts of your life have become automated that perhaps are removing you from growing spiritually?..

Lord, let us not automate our daily time with You in the Word, AMEN.

Try a little kindness…
This is probably not seen too much these days and certainly not reported very often in the news media, but kindness covers a multitude of anger, hurtful, and just plain lonely feelings. 
Perhaps you have already been the receiver of an act of anonymous kindness. Just last week a friend shared how they were pleasantly surprised to learn as they picked up their daily Starbucks order at the drive through window that the unknown person in front of them had paid for their coffee. I dare you to give it a try! 
Do something anonymously for a random stranger or for a loved one. 
See how you feel afterwards. 
Remember, it’s not about being seen doing this, it’s about serving others with no expectation of a return. 

I promise you that the indirect return you get from this is better than you can imagine! 
 Go on…You can do this! Then…..
Check your experience. …. 

“Were we kind and loving toward all?” Big Book pg. 86. 

Lord, let us show our love today through kindness to those around us, AMEN. 

”Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you. Ephesians 4:32
