Forgive me Lord for my complacency

Being content and happy in my natural life 

Help me be more aware that You are with me and in Me

That you have made me in your image

Called to live a Spiritual life 

To live close to You

To commit my life and daily activities to you

To allow you to order my thoughts

It is your care and love that will protect and provide for me

Life is a steep climb and seasons go and come

It takes your wisdom and strength to reach the summit

Years I have walked with you 

I cannot stop the clock of time, but I can encourage others

You have asked me to “call back” to cheer them on

To help them climb the stony path of life

To encourage them to higher ground

Yesterday you brought a young man to me asking for advice

Listening to you this morning, you pit on my heart

It was not my experiences that I needed to share 

But your words that have guided my life

Galatians 2:20

" I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live,

but Christ lives in me"

Proverbs 16:3 

“Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed”

Proverbs 18:25

“The greedy stir up conflict, but those who trust in the Lord will prosper”

Ephesians 3:20

“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more that we ask 

or imagine, according to the power within us”

Let us be transformed from the natural world to the spiritual realm

Let us not risk our souls by putting money before God

Put our trust in only God

For greed and trust cannot dwell in the same heart and mind

May we know Him as our Savior and be reconciled

To let His Light shine on our lives

May the world see His Spirit within us

For true inner joy is only found in Him

Let nothing stand in His way for His will for our lives

“Give what we cannot keep, to gain what we cannot lose”
