Read: Psalm 13
Waiting is hard at any time; but when days, weeks, or even months pass and our prayers seem to go unanswered, its easy to feel God has forgotten us. Perhaps we can struggle through the day with its distractions, but at night its doubly difficult to deal with our anxious thoughts. Worries loom large, and the dark hours seem endless. Utter weariness makes it look impossible to face the new day.
The psalmist grew weary as he waited (Ps. 13:1). He felt abandonedas if his enemies were gaining the upper hand (v.2). When were waiting for God to resolve a difficult situation or to answer often-repeated prayers, its easy to get discouraged.
Satan whispers that God has forgotten us, and that things will never change. We may be tempted to give in to despair. Why bother to read the Bible or to pray? Why make the effort to worship with fellow believers in Christ? But we need our spiritual lifelines most when were waiting. They help to hold us steady in the flow of Gods love and to become sensitive to His Spirit.
The psalmist had a remedy. He focused on all that he knew of Gods love, reminding himself of past blessings and deliberately praising God, who would not forget him. So can we.
I’ll be working on Labor Day. Meanwhile, ya’ll have a jolly good time. Have a cold one on me!
you have mail Ma!

Good morning, Everyone.
Good morning to our
AWESOME
Military, our Allies, and their families.
THANK YOU for all you do.
Thank you, Star, for preparing the Canteen
for todays activities.
Like many others across the country,
we are having hotter temps for the next week.
Let's hope the Farmer's Almanac is right
and we'll have cooler temps in the month of September.
And, of course many places are closing their pools this weekend.
Started my day with coffee on the porch,
listening to the rain.
Didn't want to come inside, but...
I won't be around for long. Today is writing day
and I have to keep from being distracted with all the other things
that are demanding my attention...
like cleaning and sorting and organizing stuff.
I've been trying to get rid of stuff
that keeps getting collected.
Now remember, the Canteen is ALWAYS
Come on in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS
REMEMBER THEM
DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM
