I'll Fly Away!

Lord, You've tucked in my heart a longing for that day when "hallelujah, by and by, I'll fly away."  Help me to be ready to soar!

Worry

Dear God, You know how easily I fall into worrying.  Teach me to catch my worries before they run away with me, and then give them to you.  If my life is in your hands, then I have nothing to fear. Amen

Joy

Remind me God, to open myself to Your happiness each day, each moment.  Help me not to let life's pressures and frustrations cloud my vision of Your unending joy.  Amen

Obedience

Lord, give me the strength to be Your obedient child.  May I say yes to whatever You send me.  And remind me, Jesus, to be just as obedient with the small and trivial areas of my life as I am with the big and significant.  Amen

Pages in Progress

Today I've been preping two more page layouts.  I'm reading about obedience right now and then will finish the page.  The contents for the other page is unknown right now.

Anger

Genesis is on hold for now.  I felt the Lord wanted me to study about anger.

Recently someone made me angry,  It was a complete stranger but the details don't really matter, what does matter is I responded to the situation much better than I actually wanted to.  Yea for me but, I still had the anger in me, it was time to let it go!

Dear God, I get angry so easily.  Things go wrong, people don't act the way I want them to, someone's words rub me the wrong way.  Help me, Father, to control my anger, to keep it from spilling out, hurting those around me.  Give me the strength to accept whatever You send into my life.  Amen
