daily prayer

Good morning! How are we faithing? What has your week been like? We all wait for the weekend but does your week drag on because you live for the weekend? It is understandable, we all love leisure time but how do you use your time at work? Of course you work but is your life an example that others want to learn about? Is there a joy inside that shines to the outside? Look, I know there is stress and junk that ticks you off at work but how do you respond? There is a saying that comes with bracelets and stuff that makes me wince sometimes because of how it gets used but it does have some validity. That saying is "What would Jesus do" or WWJD. The idea is a pretty darn good one in so much as it reminds us of scripture and how Jesus handles controversy and adversity but it is not designed to decide what to drive to work. As we go through our weeks we ought to remember that our savior is with us and doing things with wisdom and anger management as it were is vital to our well being as well as a witness unto God. Now don't burden yourself with condemning ideas and frustration because you fail, just remember to quickly repent, quickly pray, quickly seek that still small voice of the Holy Ghost. Jesus has been where you are and does understand so take a breath and stop trying to please man instead of God. I've found if I concentrate on pleasing God instead of man, my well being improves dramatically...

John 12:26
If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.
KJV

Galatians 1:9-10
For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.
NAS

Ephesians 5:1-2
Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; 2 and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you, and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.
NAS

Malachi 3:17-18
"And they will be Mine," says the LORD of hosts, "on the day that I prepare My own possession, and I will spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him." So you will again distinguish between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him.
NAS

Remember Racheal Skipworth...remember Jeff Wright...

Heavenly Father,
Oh Lord we ask for forgiveness when our flesh gets in the way and we let it take over sometimes. Lord, we want to be your servants and please you but we struggle. Bring to mind your Word when we struggle. Keep us mind full of your love and grace that gives a joy that is beyond this world. Grant us wisdom and open the eyes of our hearts because we want to really see your love for us, in Jesus name amen
