The people’s response was to simply to listen and obey. Such a simple task, yet, not easily done. Are you a doer of God’s word? Does others see God in your actions?

You are not alone in your struggle. It's funny you mentioned your 16 year old. My new book addresses child behavior. The chapter is entitled, "With Kids and Frustrated." I hear ya sister. All your life issues you are encountering won't last. They feel like they will last forever but they won't. It's Satan whispering lies in your ear. You will make it through this and so much more. As you walk from trouble to trouble know that God hears you and is working on your behalf this very hour. I am praying for you and many others that read this prayer post are praying for your comfort and peace. Keep the faith and hold on!Do what you can and leave the rest to God. You can't do no more than that. Read Matthew 6:30-33. Rest easy tonight (smiles), Love Kitt
