 3.7-

There are days we feel like life is squishing us like a bug. We feel small and weak compared to our circumstances.

In those moments we must control what we can control and refuse to worry about what is out of our control.

We can set our minds on good thoughts, noble acts of courage. We can rejoice in the things that are beautiful.

We can cry out for wisdom and as a child of God he promises it to us. This comes in the form of family and friends support. It comes in comfort and guidance and memories of others whom we have seen overcome. I had such a supportive day yesterday.

P.S. Five minutes after I wrote this a friend came to my 6am men's group and handed me this "paperweight".

Philippans 4

4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! 5 Let your gentle spirit be known to all people. The Lord is [d]near. 6 Do not [e]be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and pleading with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all [f]comprehension, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is [g]lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, think about these things. 9 As for the things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
