Sometimes I feel like I’m not enough. I speak to myself harshly with humiliating, critical commentary. Sometimes I feel I need to be more and end up creating a worse situation or simply making a fool of myself.
This can lead to a depressing place in my mind. I start to believe that I am a failure and have no hope of ever doing anything well. I may retreat and hide and give up for a while. There is no reason for this chain of events because God is with me.
The other day a member of my family misplaced something important. He was fuming around the house, filled with anxiety. I have felt this many times, along with anger at myself for letting it happen. This time I prayed. I asked God to help and then I just began meandering around, going where the Spirit led. In a matter of moments, I found the thing on a lawn chair in the yard. It feels wonderful to allow God to show me a peaceful way instead of relinquishing my grace and dignity.
God provides me breath and peace in my spirit. The Holy Spirit quietly guides me and is alive in me filling me with assurance. I can take steps slowly and calmly knowing that God is directing all that’s around me—even if it looks like sheer chaos. God gives me exactly the right attitude, exactly the sufficient grace.
Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 1 Corinthians 3:16-17
Meeting God at the Park 
I love this, it always turns out better if I remember to pause, pray and ask God for some guidance. Thanks for the reminder, I needed this!!!
