Psalm 38:4, 15, 18, 21-22
My guilt has overwhelmed me like a burden too heavy to bear. I wait for you, O Lord; you will answer, O Lord my God. I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin. O Lord, do not forsake me; be not far from me, O my God. Come quickly to help me, O Lord my Saviour.
--One may ask, 'Where is my life going?' Why are these things happening to me?' Wait on the Lord. He renews the soul. In the hardest and darkest times, God in Three is with me and every one. My help comes from the Lord, maker of all creation.

Daily Devo IV (Role Play)
I Corinthians 12:22-26
On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has combined the members of the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it, so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
--We each have a role to play for the purpose of this life in which we live for Christ's glory not our own. If we benefit, let us share with those who need our excesses. Bless those around you and do not store treasures here on earth where it will decay and rot. Your well-being is a risk from this decay and rot. Blessed be Christ Jesus. He gives and takes away. Blessed be His name.

Daily Devo I (Live for Christ and to Die is gain)
A new direction for living out the Purpose of This:
I Corinthians 10:23-26; 32-33
"Everything is permissible"—but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible"—but not everything is constructive. Nobody should seek his own good, but the good of others.
Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience, for, "The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it."
Do not cause anyone to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks or the church of God— even as I try to please everybody in every way. For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many, so that they may be saved.
Psalm 34:18-19
The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
A righteous man may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them all;
Proverb 21:16
A man who strays from the path of understanding comes to rest in the company of the dead
Live to die - To die is Gain

Don't always get what I want
When a person looks around and sees everyone else, they think they want what the other people have.
They ask God for the things they see and want thinking that they are needs.
Sometimes they get those wants and look around some more. Want more.
It is devastating to think how many people are crippled with this syndrome.
Covet things. ...(but it's the desire of my heart, God will most certainly give it to me)
Be grateful for one has and thank God for all that He has granted. If one receives more than one needs, give it to someone who needs it.
It is better to give than to receive.
Give thanks with a grateful heart. Give thanks to the Holy One. Give thanks.
