Choosing Praise When We Don't Understand
I came across this prayer of sorts and since I don’t think I could write it any better, I thought I’d just share it with you today;Lord, everything you do is righteous and holy. Though I don’t always understand the things that happen, my heart is set upon you. I will rest in the faithfulness of your ways. You know what’s best for me. You will make a way.When my mind overwhelms my heart and fights for the right to complain, I will bow before your throne of grace and yield my thoughts to you. Though tempted with confusion, I will choose to praise. I will commit myself to thankfulness and call to mind the many ways you’ve blessed me.These unanswered questions will be satisfied by your love. The hopes that felt defeated, you will bring back to life. My spirit is empowered as I lean into your strength. Darkness doesn’t stand a chance when my heart is filled with praise.“Light is sown for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart. Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous, and give thanks to his holy name!”Psalm 97:11-12 Be Nice. Grace Wins.

Not As the World Gives

Press On
After the inventory and the asking comes the pressing on. Forgetting what lies behind, straining toward what lies ahead. We have a new start. We choose to run.

Before Your Feet Hit the Floor
Before your feet hit the floor each morning, surrender the day to Him. Humility isn't thinking less of ourselves, it's thinking of ourselves less often. His will over our own.
