Patience

One of my fave verses Phillipians 4:4 weaves itself through my life. My roommate was talking about something that was bothering her and I asked her if she wanted to pray about it. I instantly felt better about my own troubles even though I was interceding for her! It was like a weight was lifted off my heart and literally off my shoulders. I relaxed a bit and was reminded that 1) don't worry about it 2) God will handle it. That applies to everything!

I know the economy is bad but this is ridiculous. Honor roll bright girl getting electricians jobs. I really should be in a better spot. But then I remember to not "should" on myself and rejoice the many blessings God has in my life instead of focusing on the negative which is so easy to do.

Lord I give you my job. I know you are going to keep me there until I learn the lesson. If its patience, I get it. I'm working on it and I trust you to take me to a new level in it. I pray that I would remain a joyous, peaceful presence in the environment you've placed me in. At the end of the day its just a job, its not what you created me for. I was created to worship you and soak in your presence and delight in your character. Help me to focus on that. Help me to stay grounded in you and in your principles and justice. Lord, I surrender. You are the focal point of my life, my navigator. I give you every aspect of my personal and professional life. Make it glorifying for your kingdom.
