"Guide
us, teach us, and strengthen us, O Lord, we beseech Thee, until we
become such as Thou wouldst have us be: pure, gentle, truthful,
high-minded, courteous, generous, able, dutiful; for Thy honor and
glory."

He Knows How Much We Can Bear Roberta Martin
"We are our heavenly Father's children
And we all know that He loves us over all.
Yet there are times when we find that we
answer to another's voice and call.
But if we are willing I know the Lord will teach us
His voice only to obey, no matter where
For He knows how much we can bear.
Just think of a time when we've asked
the question deep, deep down in our hearts,
We just say, 'Lord, what shall I do?
And then we confide in our friends and loved
ones, but oh they have troubles, too.
But there is a God and He rules earth and heaven,
And in Him you find relief from every pain and care.
You know the heavenly Father always answers
prayers and He knows how much we can bear."

Be Strong and Courageous
Yesterday i needed these words of encouragement so much....in spiralling down and pulling down circumstances these words of life brought so much hope and strenghth and a purpose to live.
Taken from Max Lucado's "Facing the giants"
Be Strong and Courageous
Have I not commanded you; Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. — Joshua 1:9
Forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. — Philippians 3:13–14
In 1952, Florence Chadwick attempted to swim the chilly ocean waters between Catalina Island and the California shore. She swam through foggy weather and choppy seas for fifteen hours. Her muscles began to cramp, and her resolve weakened. She begged to be taken out of the water, but her mother, riding in a boat alongside, urged her not to give up. She kept trying but grew exhausted and stopped swimming. Aides lifted her out of the water and into the boat. They paddled a few more minutes, the mist broke, and she discovered that the shore was less than a half mile away.
“All I could see was the fog,” she explained at a news conference. “I think if I could have seen the shore, I would have made it.”
Take a long look at the shore that awaits you. Don’t be fooled by the fog of the slump. The finish may be only strokes away. God may be, at this moment, lifting his hand to signal Gabriel to grab the trumpet. Angels may be assembling, saints gathering, demons trembling. Stay at it! Stay in the water. Stay in the race. Stay in the fight.
Give grace, one more time. Be generous, one more time. Teach one more class, encourage one more soul, swim one more stroke.
—Max Lucado, Facing Your Giants
A prayer for today:
Father, you created us and you know everything there is to know about us. You know how discouraged we get at times and how we want to give up the struggles we face. Sometimes it seems as if we have more struggles than strength. We are tempted to quit. When that happens, Lord, remind us to endure for one more day, to be patient one more time, to serve without reward for one more season, amen.
Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. — Joshua 1:9
I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you. — Isaiah 46:4
He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him. — Proverbs 30:5

Family time
Ask me, what is a rare happening in recent times , answer is" family time".
Family time in recent years has seen a negative trend. As we spend more and more time surfing the net, on phone or on office trips or bringing home office work, we are losing on quality time with our dear and near ones.
Even conversations within the home is limited to hello and bye, couples sit speechless hooked on TV, making minimal conversations with each other.
Howsoever appealing the internet , facebook , TV or mobile may seem , we should not compromise on family time.
