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
