Our Daily Bread

Dear Lord, thank You for the things in this world that make us think of You, including Steve Jobs’ passing.  Lord, I pray that You have shown Him mercy, and that His soul’s in heaven.  Thank You for the things You allowed him to create and bring into this world.  Lord, I am extremely thankful for my job, and the overtime i’m getting is just incredible, so thank You so much for Your generosity.  I pray You would give me wisdom about my next job, and that You would help me to be content where i am if this is where You want me.  Lord, that Elevation job seems so tempting and ideal, but what I have here is like perfect for my family.  Lord, i just want to say that I’m yielded to Your will, and want to whatever it is You want me to do.  While the Elevation job looks extremely tempting, i’m going to leave it alone, unless You orchestrate it differently.  Lord, i love You so much, and want to be Your servant.  Wow, sadly that was hard to type.  Where did my servanthood go?  Lord, i really do want to be Your servant whatever that means.  Please help me to be what You made me to be and that i would bring You glory.  I pray that You would give me strength to do and say the things the i’m often afraid to say, if it’s right saying it.  Lord, i Love You and thank You.  Lord, please make Mia well, as she just got a pretty nasty cough, and please protect our family from the sickness that she has.  I Love You!.

 

Just read “Our Daily Bread,” and it was pretty poignant, the verses being Matthew 5:14-16 and talking about being a light on a hill and letting our light shine before men.  Lord, that’s my prayer, that whatever i do that i would shine.  Lord, I admit that i am weak in this area, and want to be stronger.  i pray that You’ll make me stronger.
