My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread  Author -  Kenneth Peterson … AT THIS LINK   tells a true story of a man filing a legal restraining order against God after dealing with frustrations he just couldn’t handle.  The judge, of course, dismissed the case as ridiculous and ordered the man to be treated by mental health professionals.     

But I think many - if not all of my readers here - can identify with what is depicted in the attached photo, can’t we?  Sometimes we just want to take our frustrations to God and ask for His guidance and help.  Job certainly did, … as we read in the highlight passage.  And God’s word tells us, in the Scriptures above, to bring any/all challenges to Him as we seek His peace and direction.  That’s why i’m here into God’s truth every day, praying for His guidance and help.   How about you?    

                                                                    

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, …I’m so grateful for Your word, Lord, which keeps me on Your track in life.  

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray. again today, that all reading here will join me today, … to continue to seek Your direction and guidance, Lord, thru Your word.     … Amen
