Weak

"I can do all this through him who gives me strength." --Phillippians 4:13

This week I've been thinking about my weaknesses. Anxious thoughts, lack of control of my thoughts. Time wasted at the computer. I feel like I'm not efficient with my time. I am split between my daily professional responsibility (my unfulfilling writing work) and caring for my children. Because of this, I feel like I do neither as well as my high standards demand.

I remember that God uses the weak. He chooses them, prefers them. The weak say, "I know I can't do anything without You." They ask God for help, listen for His guidance. And then at His bidding, they do AMAZING things.

Lord, please show me what You have for me to do today, this week, this month. I'm just going to try to focus on You. When I'm anxious, I will put one foot in front of the other and just move ahead. I will look for You today.


I pray that Sara will have an experience with Jesus by February 5. I pray that You will show me an opportunity to write a book that glorifies You by September 2011. I pray that You will show me a way to put time aside for teaching the children about You.


In Your son's name I pray, 
Amen
