Today's Prayer: Part of YOUR Will

Dear Lord, please help me to remember that just because others don't acknowledge me, YOU know the integrity and origin of my heart. And, though others may not like how I handle situations because it's not what they would do, YOU are One I should seek my validation from. Help me resist being "part of the crowd" and empower me to be a part of Your Will.

In Jesus' Holy Name I pray,
Amen

Today's Prayer: What have I accomplished?

Dear Lord, please help me to understand that my dependence on you is a blessing, and that my success and accomplishments in life are the by-product of that dependence. I am nothing without You, Lord. I know this from the deepest fibers of my being, (which YOU created).

Help me to be content with what I have, and what I am, so that every thing added to me is a bigger blessing that I will not with-hold from my service to YOU.

In Jesus' Holy Name, I pray, Amen.

With-holding nothing...

You should never take ANYTHING for granted, because God will take it from you when you do! There is NOTHING He can't with-hold from you if He feels it is in your best interest, or that it will bring you closer to HIM.

And, there is nothing I will with-hold from Him because of it!

Kinks and Swirls

I love it when people want to put their two cents worth in about my life and say, "If you'd do this, or if you wouldn't do that..."

It amuses me. I look at them as if they are aliens, because what they suggest for me is so out of my world. I can't help but smile when they tell me, "You can't get there from here..." because I am already closer to "there" than they are, or they think I am.

"Maybe you shouldn't (do this or that)" when what I am doing is working just fine for me. A few little "kinks" and "swirls" now and then, but even that seems to be working for me.

When they tell me "You can't" I just say,

"Watch me."
