It's Maintenance Mode Week

Building my faith and trust in God

Happy Friday… I hope you’re staying warm if you’re in a chilly location. I’m definitely dressing in layers… since it does tend to warm up a bit in the afternoon.

This week I’m in what I call, “maintenance” mode. (By that — I mean I just maintain the absolute important stuff and don’t worry about accomplishing other projects that can wait.)

My 80-year-old dad ended up needing to go to the ER on Saturday evening. It was determined he has influenza A. And just let me say, it’s really set him back and he’s been so miserable. He’s really sick. It took him to the local clinic yesterday and so now we have some more meds.

Unfortunately, I’ve lost much sleep due to worrying. Yes, I should be trusting God, no matter the circumstances… but having lost my mom just recently, it’s been hard not to fret.

I’m working on my faith and trust in God… and begging for His wisdom so that I can help my dad to the best of my ability.

I opened my Bible in Psalms one morning this week after much fretting… and immediately came across a simple Bible verse that urged me back to trusting God during this fearful time…

“What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.” ~ Psalm 56:3 KJV

Notice David doesn’t dismiss “fear” but says during fear… he will trust God.

You and I may have fears… but in those times… we just need to choose and commit our trust to God.

I also came across Philippians 4:4 this week…

“Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.” ~ Philippians 4:4 KJV

I think this sets my perspective and attitude and mindset back to the best perspective.

((Love, hugs and prayers)) to you all, my friends!
