Can't go wrong with a "Max Lucado". If this one isn't for you today, it might be for someone in your world:


Handling the Tough Times

"How do you handle your tough times? When you are tired of trying, tired of forgiving, tired of hard weeks or hard-headed people---how do you manage your dark days? With a bottle of pills? Alcohol? A day at the spa? Many opt for such treatments. So many, in fact, we assume they reenergize that said life. But do they? They may numb the pain, but do they remove it? We like sheep follow each other over the edge, falling headlong into bars, binges, and bed. Is there a solution? Indeed there is!

"Be quick to pray. Talk to Christ who invites, 'Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out? Come to Me. Get away with Me and you'll recover your life' (Matthew 11:28-30). Jesus says, 'I will show you how to take areal rest.' God who is never downcast, never tires of your down days! Just go to Him!"
