Today, in reading for my bible study, there was a challenge. Read the following paragraph every day for seven days. In case you haven't noticed, I use this as my journaling with what God is sharing with me. So, here it is. I will be reading this every day and trying to implement it into my life. Won't you join me!
Just for today I will live this way...just for today, I am making the choice to not settle, Lord. Just for today, I will not let the subtle influences of pride and thinking I know what is best for me overshadow my desire for more of You in my life. Today, I will believe with absolute certainty. Today, I will obey You with complete surrender. Today, I will see You with complete abandon. For doing this is fulfilling the purpose for which I was created...not to bring myself glory by some great accomplishment, but to bring You glory by making You my greatest heart's desire. O God, let me make that choice today. Even if it is just for a day - how I long for it to be more - but even if it is just for today, may it be completely so. For one day completely with You is truly, truly better than a thousand elsewhere. In Jesus'name, Amen.

Hi Tamera,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful prayer. Sometimes when I get this deep into talking to him, I get overly emotional and would not be able construct words like these. Think that's why I could never really pray with others listening.
Anyway, it's nice to visit your blog. Hope you can make it over to ours and say hello to some of our members. They're really great and very personable. You will have a different kind of blogging experience with them.
Hope to see you there!
Take care,
Lexie Lane
