Good morning Lord, thanks for another day. Thanks for your ability to read hearts, and basing your grace not who I was, but who you knew I was capable of becoming. With great patience you have gradually and patiently molded me from a stubborn, difficult piece of clay to what I am now. I am still far from perfection, but I am taking form in your skillful and powerful hands. Lord I pray for the wisdom and strength to have the same patience and compassion, for others, that you have shown me.
I now understand that it takes great strength to let go and hand over the reins, of my being , to you the very source of my being. When one is on the roof of a ten story building ,that is on fire, and is told to jump into small a net hundreds of feet below. Will one have confidence that the net will save them, or are they so paralyzed with fear, that they allow the fire to consume them rather than jump? Unfortunately, this is how some of us see life when it comes to surrendering to your will.
I am now a Elder, and like Solomon, I can now look back at the follies of my youth. I spent so much of my life focused on things of this world. Lord many of us find it difficult to comprehend the concept of eternity while trying to survive the daily struggles of this life. Lord we become all focused on the ,"here and now"because we understand and feel its sting and consequences. The hereafter/eternity is a concept that we can't comprehend with our finite minds and our feelings of immortality. God I surrender all! Amen.
