God grant me the Serenity To accept the things I cannot change Courage to change the things I can And the wisdom to know the difference.   


Very few of us are in a position to change what's going on in the stock market. We cannot change what's going on in the mortgage industry. We cannot change what's happening with loans.   But here is what we can change: Our personal economy. We can change what we choose to focus on. We can ensure that we strengthen our physical, emotional, and spiritual resources during this crisis.     When times are darkest, this is our time to shine the brightest. We are anointed for such a time as this.   So take care of your physical health during this time. Eat well and exercise to help you manage stress. Take time during the day to breathe deeply and focus on the present moment, not on what may or may not happen in the future.   Don't allow yourself to become a dumping ground for bad news.   If there are things you can do to cut down on your expenses, then do that. If you need to call your creditors to see if you can work out solutions on bills you are having trouble paying, then do that.    Focus your energy on the things you can change. And the things you cannot change...ask God in prayer to help you accept them and to restore peace to your mind and heart.   Here are some words to encourage you during this economic crisis. This encouragement comes straight from the word of God. However, the words in italics are mine, which were impressed upon me during my prayer time. I hope they bring you some comfort.   Take time today to meditate on this word and let God's spirit refresh and restore you so that you may be a source of light and comfort to a hurting world.  



Psalm 23 The LORD is my shepherd; - The Lord takes care of me I shall not want. - He supplies all my needs according to His riches and glory He makes me to lie down in green pastures; - He grants me abundant prosperity He leads me beside the still waters. - He gives me peace that surpasses all understanding He restores my soul; - He calms and refreshes me He leads me in the paths of righteousness - He teaches me to live rightly according to the Law of Love because I represent Him in the world For His name's sake.   Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, - Though I go through trials I will fear no evil; - I will not allow fear, worry, doubt, depression, and discouragement to rule my mind For You are with me; - For God has promised to never to leave me nor forsake me. Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. - He protects and strengthens me.   You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; - His goodness towards me shall be displayed to the world You anoint my head with oil; - I shall rejoice in the Holy Spirit My cup runs over. - He has opened his good treasure for me Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me - Goodness and mercy follows me all the days of my life because the Lord is good and merciful All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the LORD - And I will abide in His love and have everlasting life. Forever. Be blessed in health, wealth, and wisdom,

"It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread
alone, but by every word that proceeds
from the mouth of God."
