Spiritual Teflon

Greetings Everybody,
Let's start things off right...


This is the day which the LORD has made; 
Let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalms 118:24


Yesterday was a very busy day.  I had a school function BEFORE school,  a full day OF school, an AFTER school function, and dinner with some friends last night.


Lord Willing...Today I have a 9 am meeting, and a gap in the middle of the day...and then our grandson will be spending the night with us tonight.  He will go to church with us in the morning too.


And then we will come home, and his parents will meet us for lunch at our house, and THEN off we go to our daughters Baby Shower.


This weekend is NOT a time of rest.


But it is a time of JOY.


For teachers, this time of year tends to get a little bit chaotic.
And we have a tendency to take on a ton of stress.


But I am praying for Spiritual Teflon...so that when the stress hits it won't stick to me.
I am praying that the stress just rolls off of me like water on a ducks back.
So yeah I am claiming JOY.


I am claiming JOY and ENERGY and PEACE and CLARITY and FOCUS and BALANCE and PERSPECTIVE and INSIGHT and RECOLLECTION and DISCERNMENT too.


I am asking GOD for the DESIRE and DISCIPLINE to make healthy spiritual and physical choices.


I am asking GOD for the COURAGE to SEEK HIS WILL in my life.


I am asking GOD for the STRENGTH to STAND AGAINST THE EVIL ONE IN HIS NAME.


I am asking GOD to give me the HEART that CRAVES the THOUGHTS, WORD, and ACTIONS that will please HIM.


I am asking GOD to:
Protect me
Provide for me
Prepare me
Purpose me
Position me


I am asking GOD to:
Send me kids who want to learn, parent & administrators who will support me and to help me be the Teacher that HE wants me to be.


I am asking for the FULL ARMOR OF GOD:
The Belt of Truth
The Breastplate of Righteousness
Feet Fitted with Readiness
The Shield of Faith
The Helmet of Salvation
The Sword of The Spirit



¹⁰ Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.^( 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 


¹² For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities,against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 


¹³ Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 


¹⁴ Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, ¹⁵ and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 


¹⁶ In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith,with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 


¹⁷ Take the helmet of salvationand the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.


¹⁸ And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. Ephesians 6:10-18


Father please equip me for all that I will need today and for all of my tomorrows.
Help me to remember that in YOU I have my strength and my salvation.


Yes today is the day that the Lord has made...and no matter how busy I get,...no matter how many details I am called upon to attend to at once...I am able...MORE than able...for my Heavenly Father is at work in me.


In Him,
Grace
