Okay, today was full of trying times. Multiple frustrating situations were vying for my attention simultaneously!

In addition to the normal Monday work stressors, there was also emergency dental appointment, and ridiculous insurance issues, just to name a few. While at the same time trying to cook a healthy dinner, and make time to exercise, I was beyond frustrated.

I wanted to get some space from my family to just decompress, rather than take my frustrations out on them.

As I was sitting on the sofa in my bedroom, I realized I did not want to feel this way. So I thought, what can I do? Then the song came to my mind, which is also a scripture… “and when my heart is overwhelmed lead me to the rock that is higher than I,” Psalms 61:2.

Then I realized it is impossible to be frustrated and praise God at the same time. When you let go and get in some serious praise and worship, your spirit is refreshed and your heart lifted.

So that is what I did, and I have a better attitude.

There is something awesome about being in the presence of God. To be able to pour out your heart in peace and in confidence that God can handle the good, the bad, and the ugly of your situations. Yes, he will correct you and show you your wrong. But you will also receive love, compassion, and forgiveness. It is just awesome indeed!

Not to mention, the physical exercise help to relieve my physical stress too!

So, now at the end of a day that was full of frustrations, I feel nothing but the joy of the Lord! I feel honored to have a relationship with God. Something that no one can take away.

So if you have had a similar day, I encourage you to go into you secret closet for some one on one time with God. I guarantee you will also come out changed.

Have a blessed night!
