Praying together on Monday - 5/21/2012


Abba, 

I thank you for the reminder that I am the "Beloved of God!" No doubt , no question I am Your beloved. On Monday, the beginning a new work week, with reports of the death of a friends loved one; questions about my future opportunities; learning to trust and re-engage with those who have wounded me (and others) in the recent past,; questions about next steps and where do I go from here; these and so many more questions as I in this moment learn to embrace You, my Lord and Savior. 

What's your pleasure Lord? What do you want to do now? I know what I'd want or like to do, but is that your pleasure. I'm called to lead, why is it so difficult? Many of the roles I'm called into, I didn't ask to be in and serving with others who seem to pull away, or at least, 'dig in their heels," I wonder, is it what I should be spending my time on. 

THANK YOU for being present! You are gently lovingly leading me, to your green pastures and still waters, restoring my soul. Thanks for knowing what's best for me and even it seems a 'long way to get there,' you assure me, You will create the circumstances that will bring me there, (even when I don't know where 'there' is.) You are God over every event of my life, thank you again for your love and care. 

Bless these that labor in your name and for your cause, they have long ago abandoned their own wishes and desires for Your purpose, giving you all they know how. Bless not only the work they do, but their very lives. For those places where you meet (and have met) them, when no one else in around or near. When anger and the tears flow, because of frustration, yes even when the challenges isn't resources or workers, but that annoying sense of being ill at ease, fear or whatever it is, You are there in the moment, often standing just waiting for me to turn away from the problem and find you just beyond my vision or hearing, "...You were there all the time."

Thank you, for loving me more then I can comprehend, or even 'feel.' Thanks for hope, your gift to the human family and Your abiding presence. Jesus I (we) love you. If you do no more, I love you and yet I know You won't stop now, because if You had, I would not be who I am today. THANK YOU!!! I BLESS YOU in Jesus Great and powerful name, AMEN!!!
