Psalm 46:1
1 God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
an ever-present help in trouble.
Lately I have been falling into the trap of trying to do it all. My mom thinks I am too busy but I have been asking for help from God in learning to say no and goodbye. Yesterday I found out my aide wants to leave my room. Immediately I think that I did something wrong. Then I go to my coaching gig and the director puts me in an unfamiliar spot with autistic kids who thrive on structure. This also happens to me in school today. I am learning not to try to fix everything on my own but when things get crazy just say God help! I know that we need to pray about what is going wrong in life and be specific but when the impossible out of your control moment happens it is okay to just say HELP!
Because I am a teacher who is passionate about my students it seems like I am always getting the short end of the stick, taken advantage of, etc. I asked the Lord what I was doing wrong and He said nothing. As a doer it is hard to do nothing but I am learning to just say HELP! when I don't know what to do. I also ask for a teachable spirit.
I can't control a lot of what happens to me. My circumstances, my work associates, but I can control to pray for HELP!
