Transformational Tip
How much time and energy do you spend fretting and worry about thing of tomorrow?, next week?…next year? What if you could lay the blueprint of your life right now? Figure you’d love this option and your life would be set, right? Why then is the divorce rate 40%…..the lemon law necessary…..so many returns after Christmas….so many transfer colleges….or switch majors….or change jobs. All these are where we select what we want. We have almost no control of the future, even less knowledge of what’s to come, and limited idea of what we really need to grow.
Try to live one day at a time, try to live in “day-tight” compartments. Take what God brings you today and be great with it because it is the perfect gift for you from the perfect gift giver. You don’t need to return it…you can’t!!! Don’t let tomorrow’s concerns seep into today. Today is all we can truly need, now.
Prayer
Dear Father,
I thank You for all your blessings. I pray that You help me learn to accept the limitations of living one day at a time, trusting You with all my heart. Teach me Lord to release all worry and problems into Your care. Doing this brings to my life such a beautiful simplicity. I release myself and all my loved ones into Your care my Lord. I pray You will bring Your healing grace to in my life and into the lives of those I love who suffer from sickness, fear and wariness.
I pray to You my God to help me live a life close to You. Contrary to how the world thinks of You, a life lived closed to You is not complicated or cluttered. When I focus on Your presence within me, all things that once troubled me lose their power over me…and life takes on a beautiful simplicity. The world around me is messy and very confusing, but I remember that You have already overcome this world. You have told me these things through Your Word so that I may have peace.
I pray in the name of Jesus – AMEN
