Father, your will seems so hard to grasp. I search and pray, watch and listen, spend time with you and with others all in an effort to find your will, and yet it seems to elude me. Lord give me the eyes to see the world the way you do. Give me your grace to accept the parts of your will that seem to be too painful to look at. Give my counselors words to share and clarity of heart and mind. Lord you know the path laid before me. You have gone ahead and know what is waiting. I pray that you would give me a glimpse as to what it is that you have prepared. Make my heart peaceful and my mind still as I await the word of your will. Amen.
Psalm 100:5 For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations. I was prompted to read this verse and it was perfect for today, of course. All of Psalm 100 is praise to God. For me today, I am praising God because He was faithful in something He had revealed to me a while ago. Let me explain. Have you ever asked God for His strength? Not just strength, but His strength. This is something that I was prompted to do about a year ago, not to just ask for strength in general, but to specifically request His strength to be given to me. I know it sounds a little like a bit of rhetoric, but keep reading. In requesting God's own strength, I have noticed something tremendous has happened each time. When God bestows His strength within me, it is so much more than just endurance. His strength comes with clarity of mind, lightening of the spirit, and a depth of inner joy that cannot help but make me smile. I feel energized in a way
