Pray, aim high, stay focused

Pray. Aim high. Stay focused.
Do not look to man for your blessings but look to the Lord. He can open doors for you that only He is able to do. Doors that you will not slip through but doors that only He has prepared in advance for you in your favor. Wait, and be still, patient: keep God first and everything else will follow.

So hard to do.

So easy
to become entangled
and end up
carrying a heavy load
of fear
with you every day.

God
does not want you
to become, to be
fearful.

He wants us to
trust in Him.
TRUST
He will provide
all we need.
Only He knows.

We second guess.
We look at those around
and see what we
think we're missing. We
become dissatisfied,
dismal, very sad, remorseful,
depressed.

We do things ...
yesterday, at the
work place,
I took down
pictures,
cleaned files.

Must be ready
for what I'm hearing
is coming soon.

Still, God knows.
He has come through
before.

Why
does it seem
to be so hard
Every time
to trust
He will provide?

He said He would.
He told me to
Pursue.
He told me to
stay focused, to
abide with Him.
To
Trust.
