I need a transfusion of power.

Today's demands are great.

And yesterday's troubles linger.

I feel the burden and weight.

You may leave me here for a season.

If so, help me yield to this call.

I'll give You my mind and my moments.

Then stand, and win, through it all.

Here is my interview this evening with Messiah Community Life Radio Talk Show. We discussed Uncharted Waters and my previous novel, Conquering Anxiety. Uncharted may be ordered at: www.amazon.com/author/www.saradubose.com and the anxiety book at: 1-800-283-1357.

Not my problems, but His power.
Not my stress, but His strength.
Not my worries, but His wisdom.
Not my failures, but His faithfulness.
Not my loss, but His love.
Not my pressures, but His peace.
Not me, but Him--in everything!

Today, while thinking about a recent article regarding stress, I remembered an interview I had with A Christian Writer’s World. Here is a question I was asked regarding my last novel, A Promise for Tomorrow. How do you keep your sanity in our run, run, run world?

My response: When I first wake up I thank God for His protection during the night and then I commit the new day to Him. My best intention is to then have a quiet time but, I confess, the “to do” list often jumps in and, before I know it, stress take its toll. When this happens it’s like my car. If I don’t give my Honda proper maitenance it needs repair. The same is true for this ole believer’s soul.

Yesterday I heard another interview on a Christian call-in show. The caller said, “When I wake up I say, ‘God, here is my head, my heart and my hand. Use me today for your glory.’”

I like this woman’s prayer and hope to remember it when I wake up tomorrow.
