I really need my Father in Heaven Today!

If there was ever a time in my life that I needed God, its now.  We are struggling with our finances (isn't everyone though).  My middle son has to have a growth removed on his neck (might be Cancer but hopefully not).  My youngest son is starting his first year of college and my 13 year old daughter thinks she's 18.  My self-employed husband is working a little but not enough to completely pay the bills and no one wants to hire a 51 year old woman who chose to stay home with her two youngest children the past eight years.  What's up with that!? My brain didn't rot while I was at home.  Okay maybe I'm a little rusty in some areas but I can still learn can't I.  My working hours might be slightly limited (somebody has to at least check on the wannabe 18 year old), however I'm flexible for the most part. 
Luckily for me, my Heavenly Father is available 24/7.  And I don't have to use texting or even touch my cell phone to talk with Him.  But sadly, he's usually my last resort.  I run around like a chicken with it's head cut off trying to figure out how to make everything in my life perfect.  When I finally run out of steam, I think, oh wait, I can ask my Lord for help.  And there He is!  Waiting for me to bring everything to Him.  Reminding me how blessed I am with a wonderful church, a great family that loves me, a place to live, food on my table and my quilting.  He's pretty great!  He puts up with my nonsense and listens to me no matter what I have to say.  I feel better now and I might actually get something accomplished today.
