So many thoughts churning in my head this morning.  It's Monday, the beginning of a new week.  Lots of things to do; classes to teach, laundry, cleaning, planning for activities when "Generations" is released, family activities, its all there in my mind.

I don't feel organized, in fact I seem to be stagnant, unable to focus on any one task, (although I do have a load of laundry ready for the dryer).  Sleeping late didn't help my frame of mind--it never does.  Where's my motivation?  I'm usually on overload with that--at least--even if there's not much productivity.

So, what to do...take a deep breath, spend some time communicating with Christ--my strength, comfort, supplier of all I need--and opening His Word.  And guess what, He never fails me.  Oh, I still have a lot of busy stuff in my mind, and I'm not sure how much I'll accomplish today--but whatever I do--it will be with the knowledge that God is with me, for me, and working for my good!

I realize that I was feeling dry in my spirit.  I've had so many wonderful blessings recently.  Then yesterday was a bit discouraging.  Guess I'm just one of God's spoiled brats.  I think every moment of every day I should be showered with an abundance of God's attention.  Because yesterday didn't work perfectly for me--I was feeling down. 

But when I went to God's Word I found the antidote for my problem:  "I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground; I will pour my Spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring."  Isaiah 44:3 

What promises, powerful!  Reminded me of King David in Psalm 73 when he was disheartened because of the wicked prospering and increasing in wealth while he suffered.  He wrote that his

 thoughts regarding this were too painful:  "Until I went into the sanctuary of God..."  Psalm 73:17. 

Drawing close to God, communicating with Him through prayer and reading His Word, brings peace, comfort and strength.  It's the only cure for discouragement. 

So I'll see what I can accomplish today, with His help, and wait for the refreshing "rain" of Heaven as I rest in His promises.
