I've had a hard week - of clear seeing in my business, in my family life, in my household. I see glaring omissions of self-discipline and faithfulness. I see great needs for the mommy-touch in the systems of our home life. I feel awe and angst about the coming responsibilities of fall - angst and great awe and anticipation. I must believe you God.
I choose to believe what is true. The Truth is that your grace is sufficient for me - your power is made perfect in my weakness. You will complete the good work you have begun. You call me to obey. Godly sorrow leads me to repentence.
I praise you that my work is not in vain. You say my prayers are powerful and effective. Find me faithful, Father. I am desperate for your help, your power to wake up, to work effectively, to walk with peace and mercy on my lips.
There's only grace, there's only love, there's only mercy, and believe me, it's enough.
Jeremiah 6:16 This is what the LORD says: "Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls."
“God is not a belief to which you give your assent. God becomes a reality whom you know intimately, meet everyday, one whose strength becomes your strength, whose love, your love. Live this life of the presence of God long enough and when someone asks you, “Do you believe there is a God?” you may find yourself answering, “No, I do not believe there is a God. I know there is a God.” ~Ernest Boyer, Jr. (Thanks, Ann)
