LIFE AFFAIRS AND UNSPOKEN WORDS

Dream without fear. Love without limits. Make peace with your broken pieces.

[iammeriel]

“And let us run with endurance…” Keep moving forward. If you can’t run, walk. If you can’t walk, shuffle. If you can’t shuffle, crawl. But, don’t you dare STOP! Keep on going! Today is NOT the day to quit! “The race that GOD has set before us.” He’s put us on a particular path, in a particular place, with particular people. He set the race before us that He wants us to run. *How do we do this??? “We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith.” (Heb. 12:2)

DAY 46

[iammeriel]

Heavenly Father, help me to value my thoughts, words, and deeds. If at the close of the day, there may be one who has been wounded by my injustice, may I be willing to make quick atonement. May I avoid the ways and words that hurt; and not only wish rightly and work rightly, but speak to enrich others with tenderness. Amen.

Almighty God, help me to appreciate the sacredness of work while I have it to do. Grant that I may be spared the wretchedness that comes from working with fragments from idleness. May I do my part, even if it be in obscurity and the night overtakes me before it is done. Amen.

DAY 13

Creator of all, help me to see what there is for me to do; and help me to know that I cannot be productive if I am hovering in the choice of my work. May I learn from thy great works of heaven and earth the ways of selection and steadfastness. Give me the desire to work and the confidence that is needed to carry on my work. Amen.

DAY 12

Gracious Father, cause me to be critical of my life, that I may not be deceived in myself. Help me to look into my soul and see what thou dost find there; and with humility may I acknowledge what I am to thee, and seek thy wisdom and love. Amen.

Because today is a Wednesday!

[iammeriel]

DAY 11

Lord God, I come to thee for help that the small things may not force themselves into my life, and keep me from pursuing the larger things which are continually open to me. May I not be blind to what I may have and be, through inspiration and work. Grant that I may not be satisfied to remain in that in which I have triumphed, but climb to greater endeavors. Amen.

[iammeriel]

DAY 41

One team. One goal.

[iammeriel]

DAY 10

God of justice, may I pause to remember that while I may do a mean act and keep it hidden from others, I cannot keep it hidden from myself, nor from thee. Help me to have a nobler sense of the quality of life, and less anxiety for the quantity, that I may avoid harshness and selfishness, and be given to tenderness and justice. Amen.

DAY 9

Gracious Father, if I am sorrowing over disappointment and am forgetful, grant that I may see the things thou hast made, for which I should be thankful. Help me to so live that I may have a right to claim a cheerful heart. Amen.
