I got thiking about stress, and how we all approach it. Problems come when we try to fix it with the worlds eye rather than with our prespective as believers in Jesus Christ. Even through we all will have disturbing things to deal with, we can have Jesus' peace because He has overcome the world" and deprived the world of its power to harm us. I like what Paul says AMP Rom 12:16...and adapt..readlily adjust yourself to people,things.
Luke 2:8-20 (NIV) And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. (9) An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. (10) But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. (11) Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. (12) This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." (13) Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, (14) "Glory to God in the highest,and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests." (15) When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about." (16) So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. (17) When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, (18) and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. (19) But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. (20) The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.
The will of God will never take you where the grace of God cannot keep you
Friendship Prayer... You have blessed us, O God, with the gift of friendship, the bonding of persons in a circle of love. We thank you for such a blessing:for friends who love us,who share our sorrows, who laugh with us in celebration, who bear our pain, who need us as we need them, who weep as we weep, who hold us when words fail, and who give us the freedom to be ourselves.

Dear brothers and sisters, I need some serious prayer. My brother just showed up to tell me that my other brother got assaulted by some gang members and is hurt really bad. He might even lose his eye. The worse part about this is that it happened because of my daughter. She is involved in drugs and owes these people over 12,000.00 dollars. The beating was a warning to her. They said they will catch up with her and the children. They know where we live. Please pray for us and get as many prayer warriors to stand in agreement with us. I have already reported this to the police. Thank you and God Bless. Love, Licha
