Drawing Nigh To God Is Up To Us

On this Saturday morning, May 17, 2014. I’m thinking about my life and the things I need God to do for me, I think about regardless of what my life looks like I’m blessed. I know that God loves me more than anything and I know that I have failed him many times. And I know today, it’s by the grace of God that I am who I am. It’s because of what Jesus Christ did on the cross is able to go forward. Some of the things that I believe in my life our concerns that I need to address.

Well, I think about my spiritual life and how I need to improve on that and that I knew that God is waiting for me and he’s wanting me to draw close to him and I know that this is something that I must do on my own. I need to make one step closer to God, I know he’ll draw near to me. I realize the word of God says we draw nigh to God that God will draw close to us. I realize it’s a process and also I realize that the things in our lives that need changing is an individual choice. How close to God, I want to get is totally up to me.

Sometimes people you work with are hard to please

Today was not too bad at work. Sometimes people you work with are hard to please. There are days that are unbearable, but I get through each day the best I can. I know that God has a plan for all our lives and we need to look to him for all the answers we are seeking. 

• Your boss or spouse takes forever, if ever, to answer your emails. Tactfully raising the issue may yield improvement without getting yourself viewed as high-maintenance. For example, you might try something like, "We all have our pet peeves. I must admit that mine is getting frustrated when I don't get a reasonably prompt response to important emails. I know you're under a lot of pressure but I'd consider it a favor if, where possible, you got back to me say within 24 hours if only to say, "I'm swamped but will get back to you in a week on this."
• You're taken for granted by someone you've worked hard to please. Again, a tactful request for what you want may help. For example, "As I think you know, I've been trying pretty hard to please you but it seems I haven't done a good enough job. I'm feeling a little neglected. For example, I'm always really interested in how your day went but you seem to not pay much attention when I tell you about mine. Am I misunderstanding something?
• You walk down the street and people look right past you. Do you want to try establishing eye contact and smiling at people? Experiment with clothes, hair, or makeup that might attract more attention? Even venture a nice comment such as, "I love that pin you're wearing," or "Is this not the most beautiful weather?" Stranger things have happened than small talk spawning a nice conversation and even a relationship.
• You race to meet someone on-time and they no-show. Don't jump to conclusions. Perhaps really something unavoidable happened. So start with something like," Are you okay? When you didn't show, I worried you might have been in a car accident or something." Assuming they just screwed up, they'll probably apologize at that point. If they don't, instead of wussing out with something like, "No big deal," you might try, "It happens." and then deliberately sigh. That gets the point across without making the person unnecessarily defensive and, if only unconsciously, more likely to treat you badly in the future.

I can only help that tomorrow is a better day and I pray for those who I feel come against me and I pray I can be the better person. I want to get along with others.

Good morning. On this May 13, 2014

Good morning. On this May 13, 2014 I greet you in a wonderful and powerful name of Jesus Christ. I pray today that you are blessed and everything you set out to do today that God would richly bless you. Sometimes in life it might seem overwhelming however God is making a way where there seems to be no way. Some of you today may be hurting, out of a job, health issue and just life in general. One thing I will also discovered is sometimes closer you get to God sometimes life even seems like it's getting worse. However, this is simply attack of the enemy and we need to stand firm on God's word. I challenge you today to get into the word of God and see what God will do for you, because there's nothing that's impossible for God to do.

Today I want to share with you a Scripture in Hebrews Chapter 11 in verse 6.

Hebrews 11:6-8 -- On Faith To Take the Next Step. "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him Credits: Scriptural Commentary: Hebrews 11:6-8 -- On Faith To Take the ...

Hebrews 10:22-23 ... let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. Credits: Today's verses: SEEK Hebrews 11:6.

So we can see clearly that without faith that's impossible to please God. Pleasing God when it comes to faith is knowing that no matter what your natural circumstances look like that God's word is true and God will fulfill every word that he has promised you. Get into the word of God today and see what God reveals to you my friend.

I am somewhat overwhelmed emotionally

Good morning. On this May 11, 2014 I am somewhat overwhelmed emotionally. As a child of God I do not like feeling like I do inside. I can't really say with the issue really is that's going on inside me. I think it's a combination of what's happening at work and just financially and where my life is going and sometimes I don't think I measure up. As I look back in my life even as a child didn't really have much friends I was always bullied and this has had a significant impact in my life. The past is the past yes and there's nothing I can do about it.

I have recently found God and have felt overwhelmed & reborn. However over the last few weeks I have struggled to get to church and I can feel my feelings of euphoria subsiding. I am also concerned that when I go to church my church elders only go on a bout giving money and not much else. I need to learn more about the bible & Jesus, not just made to feel guilty for not giving enough. I am on the verge of either following Jesus completely or falling away.

Sometimes I wonder why things happen the way they did. In fact that I also have parents that loved me without a doubt. However, there was always a lot of alcohol in my family. I had the best father anybody can really ask. There were times he drank so much that it had a deep effect on me. It really never ever affected his job, but most days he had to have a drink. I don't want to suffer in silence, but usually nobody I can talk to, accept my heavenly father.

Today Lord I ask you to help me with this pain in my heart I ask you God to mend the emptiness, heart ache, depression and the overwhelming feeling that I'm experiencing. There's nothing that's impossible with you God and I know it. Let me be what you want me to be today God and let me be the person I can be. I pray that no fear of rejection or a past experience of maybe failure would hinder me from becoming a man of God that you would have me to be. I know it's in the shared see that you love me like nobody else has or is capable of giving me what I need. What I need today can only come from you and a personal relationship with you, like I never ever have ever experience.

Depression has been called the “common cold” of mental disorders, and one source estimates that it disrupts the lives of 30 to 40 million Americans. [4]

Depression is too complicated to solve with a single pat answer. Gary Collins, inChristian Counseling: A Comprehensive Guide(Dallas: Word, 1988), lists seven major categories of causes for depression,[1] and six major approaches to treating it. Each one has multiple options within each category. In addition, people use the word “depression” to cover everything from disappointment over losing a baseball game to the terrifying gloom that drives people to suicide

Suzanne begins to tell me about a recent conflict she experienced at work with a male co-worker. As she describes the situation, she cries easily but not comfortably, trying to hold back the tears. When she does begin to cry, she holds her breath and squints her eyes tightly, as if trying to squeeze the tears back into her eyes. She swallows repeatedly and her shoulders tighten even more. She’s working hard to keep the emotions in check. At one point in her description, she chastises herself for being so reactive. “I should be able to handle these types of situations,” she says. “Instead, when there’s conflict, I get totally emotional. Even though my mind is racing with thoughts, I can’t do or say anything. I feel paralyzed. I don’t act like a competent professional. I just sit there and cry like a little girl.”

She looks down, rounds her shoulders, and holds her breath. I listen to her words and make a note of how she describes her experience, but I am especially paying attention to what her body is telling me
As I listen to her, I’m receiving a lot of information about her by paying attention to my own bodily experience. I feel a little breathless and pulled upward in my own body—I need to keep reminding myself to breathe, soften my belly, and feel my feet and pelvis.

 

Lord today again the past is the past there's nothing I can do about. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired and truly want deliverance. The enemy has no power over me and I choose this day to speak your word over my life and my future only comes from her personal relationship with you in your son Jesus Christ. Your word says you sent your word and healed them and today I claim my mind, body and entire being is delivered and healed by the stripes to Jesus Christ I am healed.

 

Why are some people so hard to deal with?

Why are some people so hard to deal with? Some people no matter what you do will not be pleased. There are so many different people that we have to deal with on a daily basis that you have to be on guard in every step you take. Some people I work with are like this. Unless things go there way there is no way that things are going to go well.

How do you deal with difficult, irrational, or abusive people, especially those in positions of authority who have some degree of control over your life?
I’ve never met a totally rational human being. Our ability to store and process information is far too imperfect for that. But our emotions are a shortcut. The book Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman describes people diagnosed with alexathemia, the condition whereby people either don’t feel emotions or are completely out of touch with their emotions. You’d think such people would be hyper-rational, but they aren’t. They can’t even function in society. They have no emotional context for deciding what’s important to them, so earning a dime is just as important as earning a million dollars. They’ll spend hours on tasks others would consider trivialities, like deciding what time to schedule a dentist appointment. Our emotions are a logical shortcut — we “feel” the difference between the relevant and the irrelevant.

Surviving the ups, downs, and lightning storms of other people’s moodiness can be quite a challenge. It’s important, though, to remember that some moody, negative people may be going through a difficult stage in their lives. They may be ill, chronically worried, or lacking what they need in terms of love and emotional support. Such people need to be listened to, supported, and cared for (although whatever the cause of their moodiness and negativity, you may still need to protect yourself from their behavior at times).
