Day 29: More Help

Okay, so yesterday, I mentioned that I've been submerged in several intense projects all at once, and they are indeed intense to say the least. Well, Lord, I am definitely going to need Your help--not that I don't always need Your help and guidance, but I'm going to need extra help on this one. A large chunk of a project is due for submission on Wednesday, and I have about half of it done. It's not that I haven't been working on it (because I have), it's just very difficult and time-consuming. I feel bad because I've been so intent on achieving this set of tasks that I haven't done much of anything else. I want to finish these projects but not at the expense of more important things. That's why I'm giving this to God.

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
~Philippians 4:6-7 (KJV)

Christ has gone through so much more than I could ever imagine for me and everyone else on earth EVER, so I have no right to complain about my workload, which is nothing in comparison. And Lord, I appreciate that more than anyone except You could imagine, and I can never thank You enough for what You have done. You are guiding me, Lord, I know it... which is why I don't want to fall behind on or fail at the tasks that have been set before me. I want to do this. I want to succeed at this. I could help so many people... and that's my goal. Lord, thank You for putting this in my heart. Thank You for making me able to do this, both physically and mentally. Thank You for my support system--my family, my friends, and anyone else who has influenced me in some way. Thank You for being my ultimate support system and giving me the strength to keep going. Thank You for helping me tackle obstacles that stand in my path. Thank You for shining Your light and guiding me through every moment of life. Thank You for my talents. Thank You for my weaknesses, for they help me realize my own human frailty and therefore cling to You. Thank You for my work, for there are many who do not have the opportunity or ability to do work. Thank You for putting me right where I am, which is right where I'm supposed to be.

Lord, thank You for this day. It was indeed a good, productive, and beautiful one. Thank You for my family and friends. Lord, I ask that you please watch over them and bless them; keep them safe and strong, happy and healthy. Lord, please guide me. Please give me words to write and ideas to build on... and please let the days seem slow so that I have enough time to do what I am supposed to do. Lord, please bless me with patience and serenity, particularly over the next month. Please help me to get over these hurdles so that I may help others over their own hurdles. I know that things will turn out how You plan them, so I place this in Your glorious hands and trust that You will guide me through it all no matter what. Please cleanse me of my sins, and help me to learn from my mistakes. I will follow you forever and ever, Lord, NO MATTER WHAT because I LOVE YOU with ALL of my heart and soul. In Jesus' name, Amen.


Love and God Bless,
