Not My Will But the Lord's Will

 

Philippians 1:3-8

New International Version (NIV)

Thanksgiving and Prayer

³ I thank my God every time I remember you. ⁴ In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy ⁵ because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, ⁶ being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
⁷ It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart and, whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God’s grace with me. ⁸ God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.


Thank You for today Lord. It took all I had to make it today. I am so glad that I decided to fellowship. The question of can these dry bones live is answered with a loud and deafening YES! I'm so proud of you. You are bringing people together peacefully. God is good. My heart is so full of love for you. You have so much love in your heart.

 What is the problem with me? I know I don't want unnecessary drama for you. You have enough on your mind. You must be so tired of me. If this is how it is to be for us for now , so be it. It will get better. I am so challenged by so much right now. The new job. The family responsibilities. My finances. My relationship.  But its not just about me. The world doesn't revolve around my problems. I will not have tunnel vision on my problems. There's more to life than my stuff. My world gets much smaller when I focus on me. I am encouraged again. My future is brighter now that I have taken up the dream again. I love you and will try harder to prove it and make a difference for both you and me.
Speak up is what I must do. Let me just talk, Lord. Life is too short.  Now it the time. Prayers and more prayers are what I need. I love you.
