Rough Day?

think your day was bad? well, i was struggling today. i am tired, i am physically and mentally exhausted. i actually spent a few minutes today online searching or something that would encourage me...keep me going...make me realize just how fortunate i am. i came across some prayer requests today that put it all into perspective. check them out and then ask yourself just how bad do you have it? is what you're complaining about really all that important? try putting yourself in their shoes...


My Aunt Jan just got back her results from her mammogram and they are very concerned about something they saw in her right breast that they had been tracking for about a year and want her to come in immediately for further testing. She is extremely scared. They are also very concerned about her heart and high cholesterol and she has to go to a heart specialist for testing. She lost her husband to cancer and almost lost her son to cancer. Please pray with the Lord's healing light to ensure that she she is healthy and cured. Our financial situation is dire and we need help. We are also very scared of strange things happening in our house, scary noises and "dark looking things" please expell these "things" that are not of the Lord. This I ask in Jesus' name. Sincerely, Jason (Texas)— Jason

Rough day, huh?! Glad you put things into perspective by seeing what others might think about rough.

I've been speed reading the Bible with a friend. Feel free to join in if you like. Check it out at readtheword.wordpress.com. Now those guys had it bad. You ask, 'How bad was it?' Think about this.

You try to save the Ark of the Covenant from falling and you get killed.

You get disrespectful of Moses and your wife gets leprosy.

You look back at a burning city and you turn to salt.

You whine for meat instead of bread and you die.

You refuse to fight giants and you get to wander in the wilderness for 40 years until you and your entire generation die off.

You eat one stinking apple and all mankind has to go to work.

The list goes on. I just hope God's grace is sufficient to cover the stupid stuff I do that the old testament guys got zapped for? You get right down to it, God says He is a jealous God and I think He means it.
