Some days I am just not myself...

Some days I found myself putting on an act.  I would prepare a face, costume, and routine that threw off friends and family.  Or so I thought.

In reality, those who love us can usually tell when we are in a difficult place.  Friends who know us will be able to detect that false front and help us in the struggle of the moment.  Instead of going to all the trouble of trying to disguise your pain, share it with a Pastor, friend, family member who will show empathy and love.

God loves us and even if no one else can tell, He can.  His love will wrap us in peace and guide us to the answer we need.  I love the 23rd Psalm because David spoke of the valleys we find ourselves walking through.  He spoke of God's provision for us.  He wrote of the place of safety beside still waters.  That is in direct contrast to the overwhelming floods we often experience.

Today I pray that you will be able to lie down in peace and sleep.  I pray that you will find exactly what you need to make this day good for yourself and the loved one you are caring for!
