Roller Coasters Dieting Joy? ....... by DianaDee Osborne

MARCH 25
"Who feels like Life is a roller coaster?" asked the preacher.

A teen near the front row eagerly raised her hand and waved it back and forth energetically.  Most  of us looked a bit confused amid being amused. Then I figured it out:  She thought the preacher asked   "Who LIKES roller coasters?"

But she really had an excited attitude that      
we should all have for the actual question!     

It's often 

only when our lives are like roller coasters 

that we even notice
the hand of God moving, 
answering our prayers for help!  
And the noticing brings *SUCH* joy that God cares!


PRAYER

LORD GOD,  so often in my "roller coaster" life, I turn to food or shopping or
hour-long phone calls or hours in front of a screen  just to forget the valleys...
Please forgive me.  Help me to SEE all the many times when YOU ...
THE ONE TRUE GOD  of all this immeasurable universe... 
have helped me in the scary dashes toward an unknown bottom 
as well as the thrills of the upward climb.  I do Love You so much!

God's Supporting Word  - A PRAYER  of trust.

"Even when I walk through the darkest valley,

                 I will not be afraid, 

for You are close beside me. 
Your rod and your staff protect 
and comfort me."  -- Psalm 23:4 New Living Translation
