Stop everything…

It may be bright and early in the morning, half-way through your day or in the evening, but whenever it is just stop everything. Stop.

Just quiet the racing thoughts. Breathe.

Father – I just have to stop a second and say that I’m so glad that I can call you Father, a Father who loves me, protects me, corrects me, guides me, shelters and provides for me. Thank you Father!  Lord here we are another day that you have made, may we say that we are glad and that we will rejoice in this day. Draw each one of us closer to you, closer to your word, closer to the truth. Open our understanding to grasp all that you would have us to know. Your word tells us that we have the mind of Christ – let it rise up in us Lord, overtake our own way so that we will be strong in You, able to have a word ready to anyone who asks the reason for the hope we have.

We lay at your feet today, all that concerns us, all of our different situations and circumstances, our loved ones and the needs that they have…. (pause to name those that come to mind)…. thanking you Lord that you hear us, that You are at work answering our prayers according to Your purposes and in Your wisdom – I wouldn’t want it any other way Lord than according to what You know is best.

When I think of you Lord, I smile. I smile because you are so AWESOME and WONDERFUL and AMAZING !!!! You are my peace, my joy and my everlasting hope. Thank you that I can stop at any time in my busy day and breathe and look to You - You are always there, never too busy for me.

(Another long weekend for me so I'll be back next Tuesday)
