I was about to cancel this weeks episode because of my personal crisis but the Lord gave me something to share with you today.
I am stressed but highly favored.
My wife came home and it is kicking my butt. I am the lone caregiver. It is a blessing and not so much. I am overwhelmed. I feel inadequate.
Prayer.
The restoration of Peter.
Stress: experiencing mental or emotional strain or tension.
Becoming easily agitated, frustrated, and moody. Feeling overwhelmed, as if you are losing control or need to take control. Having a hard time relaxing and quieting your mind. Feeling bad about yourself (low self-esteem), and feeling lonely, worthless, and depressed.
PETER
In Mark 14:26-31, Peter talks about how he would never deny Jesus. ("Even if all fall away, I will not" and "Even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you.")
And yet, we all know the story of what happens — it occurs just as Jesus said it would. Peter denies him three times at his trial, and after he had denied Jesus the third time, "he broke down and wept" (Mark 14:72).
After this, the Bible tells us that Peter thinks he is unworthy and returns to his old life as a fisherman. All of the disciples go with him.
The good news in all of this is that Peter was restored by Jesus, who is merciful, as John 21:15-25 reads.
Thank you Lord.
