During the past few weeks, it seems everything I'm involved in, be it family, work or otherwise is requiring more... more of me, my time, and my efforts. Don't get me wrong, busy is good, right? I just seem to have a more difficult time handling-juggling than others right now. It surprises me every time I feel overwhelmed because I juggle and handle about 300 things/people/surprises/jobs a day at my work-and I've always considered myself a "pro" at it!

I've been studying about finding and receiving more of His Spirit. This study was a good reminder for me at this very moment of craziness! It's not me who's the "pro" at all, ever! It's Him, our God who handles it all. As believers, He comes into our lives infinitly and personally. But as believers, it is also our duty to continually ask for His help. We are nothing on our own. I find myself often praying specifically for a problem or issue. And, of course, He wants to invade that part of our lives and take over-He wants the control and for us to hand it over! But, He is also telling us to ask for His Holy Spirit to flood our lives. He is how we understand God's will for our lives. So, if He is not just there in times of trouble or need, His impact elsewhere and everywhere else in our lives is immeasurable! All we have to do is ask. He is in the business of "handling". Thank you Lord! What a relief!

John 14:26 says: "The counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send you in my name, will teach you all things and remind you of everything I have said to you."

Dear Lord Jesus, help me during my juggling acts, and let me remember: I need Your specific help! And, I ask you to fill me with more of Your Holy Spirit, that it may manifest itself in every part of my life!

Psalm 29:11 "The LORD gives strength to his people; the LORD blesses his people with peace."
