Ok, so everyone at work knows that I am going to Adult Intensive Partial Hospitalization for my depression. Today, while I was working Ms. Negative, it's all about me says, and I quote "what will you be doing in your groups, plotting how to make bombs and make terroristic threats"? At first I was shocked, and I kept saying I don't understand what you are saying. All she could say was I was just teasing. I was upset about at first, but now I just laugh at it because I know how she is, clueless and pathetic. As a christian I have forgiven her, and it doesn't bother me to say the least. I just had to get this out to see what others response would be if any.
Hugs

God's guidance
"I will bless the Lord who guides me; even at night my heart instructs me.
I know the Lord is always with me, I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me."
Psalm 16:7-8 NLT The steps of the godly are directed by the Lord. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will not fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand. Psalm 37:23-24
Giving thanks that God is near
Sometimes we try to "ride out the storms" in our lives — doing this the best we can. We think, If I can just hang on and be strong, I can get through this. David knew he couldn't make it on his own. In the past, he had found help in the Lord God. And in this prayer, David again sought the Lord's protection: "Keep me safe, O God, for I have come to you for refuge" (v. 1). He rejoiced in the guidance and assistance the Lord had given him. Though his enemies were trying to shake and topple him, David stood firm because God was "right beside" him.
In prayer today, acknowledge that God is right beside you — upholding and guiding you. Thank him that he helps you and does not leave you to struggle on your own.
A prayer for today…
Dear Lord, I will not be shaken, for you are right beside me…
