Be a servant...

This is my prayer for today....

Lord, this has been a hard week for many little reasons. Physical pain and health issues have a way of bringing me down and putting me out of sorts. The days have been too long and the nights have been way too short. But you know?

I know YOU are good!

Lord, there has been a little gossiping going on at work. Whispers behind the back, hurt feelings, wrong assumptions made, careless attitudes...DRAMA. There are days that I want to throw in the towel and say "it isn't worth it!" But then I look in the eyes of a child, the toothless grin smiling back at me, and that precious giggle that escapes...

I know YOU are good!

Lord, my children are growing up. There are some growing pains along the way. Words said in anger, doors slammed, tears shed. I feel helpless as a parent. But,

I know YOU are good!

Lord, money can be tight at times. Wrong decisions made at times. The painful process of paying bills...

I know YOU are good!

Today, as I live life for one more day, each day truly being a blessing from you, help me remember this prayer. May your peace walk with me today, as I strive to have a servant's heart and find my joy in each moment. Thank you, Lord...

For YOU are GOOD!

Amen.
