JANUARY 6, 2020

Lord, this morning You challenged me,

to become all You created me to be

In your Presence and fellowship,

jettisoning and all earthly substitutes

You reminded me not to be a “doubting Thomas”

To know you are ever present and forever with me

That you have heard my silent prayers,

For me to cast my burdens on Thee

For You are the Power alive within me

You promise my dark clouds will disperse by morning

To be patient and content and reach out for your grace

To be satisfied with the Giver and free from craving gifts

Not to be motivated by my desires, needs or feelings

Not to keep score of who has the “most”

Not to look to creation for life, hope and peace

Just to be aware of your presence and blessings

I am your child and a member of your royal family

To have faith and hope in your mercy

Although my heart and body will fail

To trust my soul to thee

To be free and satisfied with the Creator

With His purpose and His identity within me

May I be a joyful, constant and fearless servant

Sharing your love, grace and mercy to others

Through the saving power of my Lord, Jesus
