It Seems Like Everything Is One Big Mess!

Happy Monday! I hope that your weekend was great! Gosh it’s been so hot here. It makes me want to stay inside. Friends, how are you doing? It seems like everything is one big mess!

It’s been a bit rough at our house. First, our refrigerator went out. Second we had an ant outbreak. Lastly, we have had some issues with our air conditioner.

These and more are the things in life that try to steal our joy. When all of life seems to be falling apart and you think it just can’t get any worse, it does.

Talk about trouble, Jonah in the Bible sure had his share. God told Jonah to go to Nineveh to preach but he didn’t want to go. He headed in the opposite direction toward Tarshish. But oh my he never quite make it. You may know the story but Jonah ended up in the belly of the whale. Jonah was having more than a bad day. He was in a big mess. To read the story read Jonah 1.

Talk about a joy stealer. Jonah was probably as low as anyone can get.

It seemed like everything was one big mess!

Jonah started to pray. Jonah 2: 1-2, “From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the Lord his God. He said: in my distress I called to the Lord, and he answered me. From deep in the realm of the dead I called for help, and you listened to my cry. Sometime we forget to pray. In fact we try everything else besides going to God to ask for help when we should be doing that first.”

Sometimes we forget to pray. In fact, we try everything else besides going to God to ask for help when we should be doing that first.

Try including God in all of your decisions. He cares about what we care about. He just wants us to include Him in our lives.

Therefore, pray more and stress less!
