Acceptance is the answer to all my problems today. When I am disturbed, it is because I find some person, place,thing , or situation- some fact of my life- unacceptable to me, that I can find no serenity until I accept that person, place, thing, or situation as being exactly the way it is supposed to be at this moment. Nothing, absolutely nothing happens in God's world by mistake. Until I accepted my problem, I could not overcome it; unless I accept life completely on life terms, I cannot be happy. I need to concentrate not so much on what needs to be changed in the world as what needs to be changed in me and my attitudes.

Amen! Well said. I fall for the ole "you can do it yourself," trick every day it seems.

The more I'm in the word the quicker I remember God has a say in what happens in my day. I need to focus on Him and pray, with thanksgiving about the situation.
