Worry or Prayer (Photo credit: Leonard John Matthews)Those who look to Him for help will be radiant with joy;
no shadow of shame will darken their faces.
Psalm 34:5
New Living Translation (NLT)
Many of us have reason to feel sad, afraid, or disappointed about the state of our lives--or at least we think we do. There is no reason to feel ashamed of struggling through difficult times. Perhaps the way things are for us now is the consequence of bad decision making in our past or just plain bad breaks that came our way. It's all a dark shadowy presence that is behind us. Now is the time to let what has happened yesterday fall behind us.
When we are moving ahead we are in the natural order of things. For us time is a linear progression. Time does not stand still and what has happened in the past is finished and can't be changed. We can shape a positive future if we stay focused on the right things.
So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:10
New International Version (NIV)
