Knowing...

Knowing that you are on the path that God intended for you doesn't mean that everything is all sunshine and roses all of the time. It means that you have to take the bad with the good. It means trusting in God and knowing that He's got you covered.

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."  Jeremiah 29:11

I'm not going to lie, yesterday was a tough day for me - really tough.  If it wasn't one thing, it was another - including but not limited to, the toilet overflowing and causing a major flood in the basement.

But then, there were the moments like these...that were pure perfection and that brought a smile to my face and my heart.

 

I think the key for me is keeping the smile on my face even during the bad - because my good is oh so good and it has God's blessing all over it.

...AND even though I overslept this morning...I decided I wasn't going to let it get me down - and the Big Man started speaking to me right away.

"Wave away my yesterday, 'cause I'm leaving it behind me"

My Prayer Today

I came across a website today in my search for a "Prayer to Let Go" and combined a few of them to make a prayer of my own...

God,

there are things happening around me right now that I do not understand.

Some of these things make me feel weak, helpless and afraid.

 Even in the midst of this, I know that you are the Lord.

I know that the situation is in Your hand, and I trust You.

I beseech you for strength and for wisdom,

 that I would be able to endure this situation

 and be able to handle it in a way that would bring glory to Your name.

Please hear me Lord.

Please guide me to your way of understanding.

 Please show me the way and help me think clearly.

In Jesus name. Amen.
