Dear Lord; It\u2019s often said that we\u2019re our own worst critics.\u00a0 I know in my case, that\u2019s usually true.\u00a0 With the times we live in it seems we\u2019re constantly deluged with negative information from all sides, which can make even the strongest of us start to feel overwhelmed and beaten.\u00a0 Once that happens, our day-to-day tasks take on a whole new perspective, and self-doubt can creep in.\u00a0 Please help us focus on the positives in our lives, and to see our daily trials for what they truly are.\u00a0 Raise Your Blessings in our hearts and minds, and give us the strength to go forward in Your Grace.\u00a0 Amen.\u00a0 ~Phather Phil<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
