RESET for Monday - I’ve been feeling sick and weak

I might have food poisoning and or this might be spiritual warfare related to leaving the homeless shelter after almost 3 years.

Last night I started to pass gas and that has continued until now more than 18 hours later.

If I had been with small children they would have laughed much due to the frequent toot sounds from my bottom.

This morning I needed to walk around downtown to collect documents like a print out of my bank statement that I normally get online.

My head was hanging down. I could only look about 6 feet in front of myself. I felt like the cartoon character with the storm cloud overhead.

I needed to stop and rest often due to weakness.

I called and told the apartment manager in Ennis about my lack of health and weakness. She reset our meeting for Monday.

Please pray for the ride and the funds to line up gracefully.

My top priority today is to prepare for my sermon tomorrow. The topic is standing on the promises of God as our base for improving our prayer life. All I need is to locate 7 to 12 related verses and arrange them in an orderly way.

I will make my visual aids that are 11 x 17 print outs with key words bolded and underlined.

All I need to preach is an introduction and a sense of the beginning, middle and end of the message using selected Bible verses.

After that I just pray and go with the flow.

Normally such preparations are easy but today it is like I am swimming upstream in a river just to get this far. I trust that God will guide and provide like He always has done. For God is faithful. Amen?

Thanks again for each of your prayers.

Shalom

John
