<p>Isn&#8217;t this how we view our problems many times?  We become so focused on the long climb that we forget to enjoy and live each day to the fullest. When you have problems, it is easy to look at them as a worst-case scenario instead of giving God control and letting Him work everything out.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t ever let Satan tell you that your problems are too big for God to handle. You just have to make the choice to give them to Him and let Him work everything out the way He sees fit.</p>

<p>Life definitely does seem like we are negotiating a maze much of the time, and it is easy to get off track, out of focus, and sometimes even lost.</p>
<p>The great thing with God, though, is you can decide to make a change and He will meet you right where you are at this moment. You don&#8217;t have to become better, or more in control, or even have an answer. God knows right where you are, and wants to start now to begin to lead you in the right direction.</p>
<p>The only choice you have to make is whether you will let Him change your life for the better. You truly can begin again where you are right now and in whatever situation you are faced with. There is no problem that is too big for God to handle.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We all need to take this advice and give all our problems to God. Nothing is too big for him to handle.</p>
<p>______________________________________________________<br />
<em>To My Child,</em></p>
<p><em>Good morning, this is GOD.</em></p>
<p><em>Today I will be handling all of your problems. Please remember that I do not need your help. If you encounter a situation you cannot handle, do not attempt to resolve it. Kindly put it in the SFGTD (Something For God To Do) box. It will be addressed in MY TIME, not yours.</em></p>
<p><em>Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it nor remove it. Holding on or removal will delay the resolution of your problem. If it is a situation you think you are capable of handling, please consult me in prayer to be sure that it is the proper resolution. Because I do not sleep, nor do I slumber, there is no need for you to lose any sleep. Please rest my child.</em></p>
<p><em>If you need to contact me, I am only a prayer away. My prayer line is open 24 hours of your day. I love you and will always be with you wherever you may go. As with all good things, pass my message on.</em></p>
<p><em>Love, GOD</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are things everyday that we take for granted that show us the majesty of God. These are pictures of snowflakes. The first four photos are ones that have been taken through a microscope; the next four were taken with the Macro Mode on a digital camera.</p>
<p>Both sets are fascinating. If God cares enough to put that much detail in a snowflake, how much more does He care for you in even the smallest detail of your life. Give Him every problem and let Him show you how He can miraculously meet your need.</p>
<p>Matthew 6: 25 &#8211; 34 has the cure for anxiety.</p>
<p><span style="color:#800000;">Therefore I say unto you Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800000;">Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800000;">Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800000;">And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800000;">And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800000;">Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800000;">Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800000;">(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800000;">But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800000;">Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.</span> (Words of Jesus)</p>
<p>God knows your every need before you have it. No matter the circumstances you see around you, He is still in control. Let God show you what He can do!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We all have times where circumstances are less than ideal, and sometimes they are downright lousy. During these times, we must make an extra effort to stay in the Word, pray, and trust God. That is the only way you can stay strong and not be changed for the worse.</p>
<p>It is during the hard times that you have the greatest potential to grow as a Christian, but it is also the time when you must be on guard not to fall into the trap of defeat and want to give up. Always remember that God can see the future and He is in control. In your moment of greatest despair, He is working on your behalf to give you victory.</p>
<p>Learn to trust Him with everything in your life. As the story below says, you be the instrument of change instead of letting circumstances change you.</p>

</span><strong><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:&quot;">A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life   and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to   make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It   seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose. </span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:&quot;">Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with   water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to boil. In the first   she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed   ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil without saying a word.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:&quot;">In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished   the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed   them in a bowl. </span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:&quot;">Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl.   Turning to her daughter, she asked, &#8216;Tell me what you see.&#8217; &#8216;Carrots, eggs,   and coffee,&#8217; she replied. </span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:&quot;">Her mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the   carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. The mother then asked the   daughter to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she   observed the hard boiled egg. </span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:&quot;">Finally, the mother asked the daughter to sip the coffee. The   daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma the daughter then asked, &#8216;What   does it mean, mother?&#8217;</span></strong><strong><span style="font-size:13.5pt;color:#444444;"> </span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:&quot;">Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the   same adversity: boiling water. Each reacted differently. The carrot went in   strong, hard, and unrelenting. However, after being subjected to the boiling   water, it softened and became weak. The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer   shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting through the   boiling water, its inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were   unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the   water. </span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:&quot;">&#8216;Which are you?&#8217; she asked her daughter. &#8216;When adversity   knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee   bean? </span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:&quot;">Think of this: Which am I? Am I the carrot that seems strong,   but with pain and adversity do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength? </span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:&quot;">Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes   with the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, a   financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff?   Does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a   stiff spirit and hardened heart? </span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:&quot;">Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the   hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets   hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor. If you are like the bean, when   things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around   you. </span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:&quot;">When the hour is the darkest and trials are their greatest, do   you elevate yourself to another level? How do you handle adversity? Are you a   carrot, an egg or a coffee bean? </span></strong><span style="color:black;"><br />
</span><strong></strong><strong></strong><span style="color:black;"><br />
</span><strong><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:&quot;">May we all be coffee!! </span></strong><span style="font-family:&quot;"> </span>
