A Morning Prayer
Almighty God, I am thankful for this breath You have given me today. Guide my steps, because I can't do this on my own. Open my eyes today so I can see You and the hurting who need Your hand. Open my ears so I can hear You in the cries of the lonely and broken. Place me in Your service today, God. Give me the wisdom to say the right things. Fill me with courage to act. Don't let me stall. Remind me to follow through. Prod me to be Your hands and Your words to each life You present to me today. Through Christ's sacrifice I pray to You, Father God.
I prayed this prayer every morning that I woke under the African sun and I will continue to pray it every morning I wake under the Iowa snow! It simply sums up what this blog is all about...we serve Him. We must be willing to act for Him. We get our courage from Him. He presents people to us every day, no matter where we are, or what our circumstances might be and it is in our power to choose to follow Him.
STEP UP SISTER! Fill the shoes and walk with Him!
