Living in this world is a topsy turvy experience.
It is only through becoming smaller and weaker that we can grow.
It is the power of Christ that strengthens me, as Paul said, but there is always the temptation to do it myself, to find solutions, have the answers and make things happen.
No. It is only in seeking God and His will that I am OK.
I find myself floundering in confusion, without the structure of my regular spiritual supports. I get lazy, and I put things off.
Here I am trying to figure out how to make something happen, meanwhile I have let the wonderful opportunity to go deep into His word pass me by. These days are a tremendous blessing!
I have time to study and to pray. There can be a rhythm of prayer and study everyday.
I have been whining and complaining but I should be so grateful!
Today will be used well. Today I will commit to Him.
Dear Jesus, I want to use this day well. You have given me time! That precious gift that I am always saying that I don't have enough of. I want to give this day back to you. To take the time that you have given me to pray and learn more about you.
Help me to remember that YOU are in control of all of this and that you are giving me a chance to grow in Faith and Love.
Thank You Jesus!!
