Crisis
Good Morning! Another day has come so wake up, face it head on. Today we want to acknowledge crisis; or the things will feel are in that category. Do we seemingly divert or ignore problems? Do we dismiss pain? Do we inadvertently feel like just ignoring it will just make it go away? A crisis; what really is the meaning of a crisis? We usually assume it is a major problem, probably because the word ‘crisis’ looks and feels ominous, though it is a small word. How we handle any crisis is bringing it to our heavenly Father. God already knows, but just opening up and actually talking with Him first can accentuate the closeness He values as our God. We can always divert these crises just by admitting it out loud to the one who can bring us through. Find your life line by praying. Speak it out loud so you can get a better feel of God’s presence all around you. We become more relaxed, and open to all the answers as we release those feelings in prayer and supplication to God. In Christian terms, the word is usually burden, which means we have something on our hearts that we assume cannot be fixed or changed. Jesus told us to bring all our heavy burdens and lay them at His feet. The hardest part of any crisis/burden is allowing God to help in these situations. We as independent people, try to handle everything until we break emotionally; sometimes physically. When we get to that point, let’s stop and remember He already knew your decisions; your crisis; long before you tried to do it alone! So now, open up; call on Him; explain it all to Him; then truly let Him guide you through! Whether great or small we must rely on the only one who can prevent or change the crisis whatever the size. No crisis is too big for our BIG God!

Prayer:
Father, thank you for every day you are within me. Thank you for having your loving arms around me in every crisis I have and will endure as my journey in this life continues. Lord, please provide that strength needed to endure the small with the large burdens that I may at times forget to lay at your feet. I come humbly accepting your help. May your spirit lift me up so that others can see that it is a blessing to have you take on the crisis. I pray in earnest to feel your presence now and always. Amen.
