Abba, Today I begin with thanksgiving for your goodness and
grace to me. Thank you for caring for and about me, everything that happens in
and around my life is of importance to you, even the smallest detail, THANK
YOU!
I don’t often understand why you allow events and circumstances
to occur, but I thank you for being present, in my struggles, pain and yes, confusion.
Thank you for the good days, days when things go well. Help me to trust you
during good times and well as those that aren't as well.
As I minister those around me as I work alongside them, my I
remember they too have difficulties and struggles as I do as well. May I
remember that their days are filled with as many questions and challenges as I
have. Allow me to be filled with your
Spirit of grace and understanding, as walk this road of daily living together
with others.
Thank you for the mixture of elements which make up my day
and week. Thank you for opportunities, and yes, even challenges I don’t
understand. I pray for the selfish and self-serving; those who seems to brush the ‘poor and less-important’
aside as if they don’t matter.
Help me to remember I’m you’re and You are at work in and
through me as well as anyone else. Thank You for the value you've given me and
my life. The purpose You called me to and for. May I learn and understand the value of
patience and have the willingness to continue in the work and struggle of life
and ministry for you glory.
Thank you for a new week with all of you wonderful
opportunities, even those that are disguised as challenges or painful
experiences. Trusting you for your goodness and mercy, I walk into this new day
and week believing, that “ . . . all things work together for good, to them who
love the Lord, who are the called according to His purpose.”
Thank you for the ‘left-overs,’ and what some to think of ‘throwaway’s’
of these you can and often do create something new, different ; may they and we
learn together how to create something new. Thank you for being at work in and
around my life, for that which isn't easy. Thank you for being present. For
this and these I bless you, AMEN!!!
