Pesky Botherances

Like a pebble in a shoe or a fly buzzing around, there are pesky botherances in life that can sometimes intrude upon our balance of well-being.  Responsibilities, Demands, Issues, and To-Do Lists can all just creep up and keep tapping on our shoulders until they get addressed.  Even when we have other areas we need to focus on, these just continue to hover in the back of our minds; and create a disturbance in any peace or contentment we may have.  May the LORD guide me in all areas and grant me the wisdom to address these effectively.

A friend shared a verse with me yesterday that was applicable to our COA service; and is actually a good reminder to just focus on Christ and do our best in living for Him, trusting everything will just work out:
"For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus, who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds."  (Titus 2:11-14)
