STOP TRYING TO PLEASE PEOPLE

Colossians 3:23  Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people

It is very stressful trying to please people or ourselves because normally we have no idea what really pleases us or anyone else.  So, wouldn' it be easier to please God when we deal with our Lord we are not juggling a million different things trying to please those around us, instead, we have one single purpose, to please God so we don't become overly involved in various causes religions and lose focus of our perspective.

Father, help us be aware of practicing righteousness before other people in order to receive their approval because there is no reward for people pleasing.  Father, let us not get caught up in all the different practices and beliefs of man that keeps us separated. Because no matter who we follow they all lead us to one God.  So, help us stay focused on pleasing You and do not be conformed to this world; but be transformed by the renewal of our minds, that by testing us may discern what is Your will, so we will receive what is good and acceptable.  Lord, we are servants of God and we count it all joy, and when we meet trials of various kinds, we know that the testing of our faith produces steadfastness, that makes us perfectly complete, lacking in nothing.  In Jesus name, Amen
