St. Patrick's Day--March 17, 2011

Dear God,
     For some reason, this has been a very dark day. I feel so unsettled within my spirit and discouragement these days has been sitting down to have coffee with me. I feel as though I cannot do anything right anymore; I can't cook right, I can't drive right (the close call on the way to taking Jordan to school this morning), I can't parent right, and so it goes. The atmosphere at work is to the point of being toxic and I find myself feeling literally sick at the thought of going in.So many things are leaving me feeling lost and overwhelmed to where I don't know what to do with myself. Mistakes I have made still plague me even though I have asked for and (I believe) received Your grace and forgiveness. I have just found myself feeling angry and irritable and otherwise miserable today.
     Dear God, I know within my heart that I can do anything and everything through You and nothing that is within myself; it is my mind that is warring with me. I cannot totally escape the thing called doubt but it doesn't have to come in and live with me. Please, dear God, when I begin to doubt speak to me and remind me that I am more than a conqueror. Remind me that I don't have to be perfect; I just have to be me .
