When Life is Overwelming

Have you ever had one of those days, weeks, or months that you feel like no matter what you do life keeps beating you down? People around you say "You to look on the bright side..." or "Well at least it can't get much worse". You think to yourself, "If you know how bad things are right and you saw were things are going for me you would say that.". I've Been there before. Just yesterday I was driving to the store when the transmission on my car went out without warning. I was at a stop sign press on the ground and it sounded like my transmission had just fallen out of the car. I had to walk home about a mile in the hot humid evening in Florida. As I was walking home I could have been saying "Why God did you let this happen to me?" but I didn't. I was thanking him that it didn't happen when we were on a trip to one of our parents houses. I know your thinking the this is no where close to what you are going through. Well Ill tell you I was at the point where I was ready to end my life because I though there was nothing left to live for. It was at that time that I got done on my knees and prayed. and I truly gave up control of my life to God. this was the hardest thing I had ever done in my life.

In the words of David if you surrender your will to God you will be blessed

Psalms 23:1-6 KJV  A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.  (2)  He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.  (3)  He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.  (4)  Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.  (5)  Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.  (6)  Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

This is the hard part knowing when your listening to Gods voice and not doing what you think God would want you to do.

In John 10:24-30 ERV  Jesus is taliking "The Jewish leaders gathered around him. They said, "How long will you make us wonder about you? If you are the Messiah, then tell us clearly."  (25)  Jesus answered, "I told you already, but you did not believe. I do miracles in my Father's name. These miracles show who I am.  (26)  But you do not believe, because you are not my sheep.  (27)  My sheep listen to my voice. I know them, and they follow me.  (28)  I give my sheep eternal life. They will never die, and no one can take them out of my hand.  (29)  My Father is the one who gave them to me, and he is greater than all. No one can steal my sheep out of his hand.  (30)  The Father and I are one."

You notice in Verse 27 Jesus says "My sheep know my voice" . God talks to all of us everyday, we just have to learn to listen to him.
