I will lie down and sleep in peace. O Lord, You alone keep me safe. Psalms 4: 8 The Holy Bible The New Life Version
No matter what the stressful situation every time I take it to Poppa, He blesses me with assurance, comfort and peace. That is the best medicine to take. You do not need to see a psychiatrist or start popping poison called pharmaceutical pills which only get you addicted and breaks down your body so you have to take more poison. Yeah the pharma shareholders like it but your body sure does not.
Now of course the second part of the equation is that we must have faith and obey what Poppa instructs us to do.
So we will say you have gallstones and Poppa instructs you to cut back on your coffee.
Your reply is up yours.
Then you cry because you have gallstone.
Duh?
This morning, I prayed because my cat ( my comforter which is needed because of the challenge of being a live in care giver which is the most stressful thing I have ever done ) due to concerns he was still having elliptic seizure even though he has started taking medication. Because I love him there was a concern of putting him down because I do not want him to suffer.
I left the choice in Poppas loving hands and trusted Him while having rivers of tears flowing down my cheeks.
When I got on the internet later in the day, He guided me to a site that explained the medication much more in depth and that it would take a while for the medication to take effect. I greatly praised Him as now my heart beats with joy again.
The reason worriers die sooner than non-worriers is because we have peace of mind that can only come from trusting Jehovah in every aspect of our lives. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Jireth (Genesis 22:14 The LORD Shall Provide ) for blessing me with the medicine to help my buddy and the knowledge that everything will be alright and it will just take a while. I praise You in the name of He who raised Lazarus when the time was right, Jesus Christ, Amen
Seleh- stop and think about it.

But the Lord said to her, “My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details! There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her.” Luke 10:42 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
Recently my sciatic nerve injury has gotten so bad I can barely walk.
We have an electric wheelchair for my mom and a electric scooter.
I have begun to use the wheelchair on outings and have learned that when I go full blast it will not go far but when it is slowed down to half speed it will travel twice the distance.
While travelling there is a big urge to go pedal to the metals and took discipline to slow down.
So too has it been in my life with being a live in care giver for a challenging mother, taking care of an epileptic cat ( my special bud ), doing gardening and writing a blog. I have too much on my plate and have to learn to slow down and pace myself.
The other thing is that it feels stressful to be going down the street at such a slow pace and being concerned about what drivers think of it ( as it is a vehicle it is to be driven on the street not the sidewalk ).
Drivers are very polite and understanding but it is more my thinking then their behaviour.
I have to learn to accept that I can only go at the speed of the wheelchair and it does not matter what others think of it or my temptation to go pedal to the metal.
So too it is with our walk with Christ.
We must follow Him and not be concerned about what others think about it. And, we must mature at His pace and not ours.
Go at Gods speed not yours. He knows your speed limit better than you do. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Please Jehovah Reliqua autem Deus (God of rest Matthew 11:28-30 ) bless me to always remind me to slow down and pace myself according to Your pace, not mine. And, not be concerned about how others view me. I humbly request this in the name of He who never allowed others to set His agenda, Jesus Christ. Amen

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Philippians 4:6 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
Prayer: Oh Jehovah Shalom (The Lord blesses with Peace Isaiah 9:6, Rom 8:31-35 ) I thank you so much that I can always come to you with whatever is upsetting me. Every time You calm me down with Your gentle loving Divine peace and then softly speak to me and help relieve the stress I am experiencing.
Then You wisely explain the answer to all my questions and stressful situations. I am grateful that You have taught me to always come to You before I take any action.
I praise You in the name of the Prince of Peace Jesus Christ. Amen

May the LORD, calm your anxious heart and the urgent demand for quick results. May He help you to wait on Him, trusting that His timing is perfect.” Joseph a son of Jehovah
In my distress I prayed to the Lord,and the Lord answered me and set me free. Psalms 118:5 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
There has been so many times in my dedicated service unto our Heavenly King where the stress was so bad it felt like I was going to literally explode. On my knees with rivers of tears rushing down my exhausted cheeks and shaking hands lifted to the Heavens I called out unto our Beloved Poppa in Heaven to release me from this pain, anguish, frustration, and exhaustion.
Most times He refused.
Instead He answered me with the same phrase that washes all the distress and exhaustion from my body and spirit and left me completely enveloped in His Divine peace and love. “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:9 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
Divine grace is described as : the free and unmerited favoror the recieving of goodness from God The Free Dictionary
Jehovah may not free you from your circumstance but He will walk with you through them and you will be blessed with loving and respecting Him ever more.
When Jehovah puts you in the furnace of affliction, He is right in there with you. Joseph a son of Jehovah.
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah-‘Immeku (The Lord Is With You Judges 6:12 ) for walking with me through all my trials and tribulations, sorrows and snares. We have walked this road so many times before that I have complete and total confidence in Your presence whenever that painful road must be travelled again. I exalt You in the name of He who has experianced all that I have and so much more when He walked amongst us, Jesus Christ.Amen.
“We are Christians and strangers on this earth. Let none of us be frightened; our native land is not this world.” —St. Augustine of Hippo

I thank You,Jehovah Rapha (God my healer Jeremiah 33:6 ) the Healer of all our diseases. My body is the temple of Your Spirit, so I pray for protection from that which could bring harm to me physically. Please guard me from and all stresses that steal my emotional strength and lower my immunity to fight infection. Please me of all past traumas that affect my present or future mental and physical health. Please teach me to discipline my mind and body so that I will grow stronger and increase my mental and physical stamina. When challenges arise, I am not afraid because You have blessed me with a spirit of power, of love, and a sound mind.
As the Great Physician, You know me so well. You have ordained every part of my body even before I was born. Please help me to treat my body with respect as Your beloved creation. I desire to serve You with excellence, so in my weakness, grant me strength and good health so that nothing will prevent Your plan for me live. Please protect me from all contagions and diseases that can riddle the body and bring dangerous results. Please protect me with wisdom to use well the rest You provide as I wait on You with You to spend quiet time with You every day.
My life and health are in Your secure hands, Lord, and my trust and faith are in You. In the name of the best physician Jesus Christs name I pray Amen.

Do you look down on people who are poorer than you, come from a different country and culture?
Do you believe you are better than anyone else?
Are you ready for what comes around?
Gentle: free from harshness, sternness, or violence
Do you speak cruel spiteful words to others to get your jollies watching them in their hurt feelings?
Be careful, if this behavior leads to some else to commit suicide in Gods eyes you are just as guilty of murder as if you put a bullet in their head.
Are you too stern with your wives, husbands, children or subordinates?
Are you a bully?
Read about those who speak cruel words, the same applies to you.
Patient: bearing pains or trials calmly or without complaint, not hasty or impetuous,steadfast despite opposition, difficulty, or adversity
Do you have patience waiting in the grocery line, or when dealing with anothers short comings or difficulty in understanding?
Do you stand beside a family member, friend, classmate or co-worker when dealing with difficult situations? Do you bear with another when they unintentionally do or say annoying things?
All of the above definitions come from Webster’s dictionary. The comments are my own.
Why not make a list of how you can improve yourselves with this helpful little guide. Then start working on improving yourselves one at a time.
As an added bonus you will find yourselves much less stressed and happier.
Oh and as another added bonus remember this: What goes around comes around. So how you behave towards others will be done back to you.
How do you want people to treat you?
“Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don’t see things the way you do. And don’t jump all over them every time they do or say something you don’t agree with—even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department. Remember, they have their own history to deal with. Treat them gently” (Romans 14:1 The Message Bible).
“In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:16 The Holy Bible, The Living Translation
Be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing.”1 Peter 3:8,9 The Holy Bible, The King James Version
“Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up” (James 4:10 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation).
We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Prayer: Jehovah Hosanna ( God our maker) make my every heart beat with a deep longing desire to always walk righteously in Your divine eyes and be open to expanding my ability to become more Christ like every day. In the name of our loving King Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.
May Gods sunshine always bless you with brightening your day with His love, joy and peace. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results. James 5:16 The Holy Bible, New Living Translation
How can praying for others heal you?
I believe that when we pray for others it heals our spirit of hatred,anger and fear ( I know it does me). In the process that causes less stress upon the mind and body. This can cause healing as the body repairs itself from the tension of the stress.
I have seen many angry, spiteful folks full of disease while also seeing many prayerful folks very healthful. especially, in their elder years.Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Rapha (God my healer) that in some mysterious way when I pray out of love and concern for others it brings healing to me. I praise You in the name of the greatest Healer Jesus Christ. Amen
May the light of Christs love shine brightly in your heart today and every day
