It's a good thing we have this thing called grace. Because..... I need it..... Im a work in progress. Sometimes receiving grace is hard to do. It's hard to believe and sometimes I allow doubt and fear to influence my "work in progress". That is not what is intended for me, or anyone. What is intended is a clear mind, free of guilt, fear, and doubt... and filled with the Spirit in love, trust, and grace.
I know that where I am at now, I am relying on the strength, faith, and influence of others who have been placed to speak life into my "work in progress." I am grateful for these people during this time. In times of worry and doubt, I repeat and read this prayer that a friend (one of "my highest people") shared with me, to fill my mind with the good. I hope it can help you in the midst of any fears and doubt and worry you may have.
"What are you trying to teach me through this?
How can I glorify you during this time? I need you God, I need
your help. I need your comfort. I need your wisdom. I need
you to sustain me and help me find joy in the midst of the frustration
and the uncertainty. I can't do it without you. I know you are there and
that you are faithful and that Im never alone. I trust you. I love you.
and I am thankful."
Reading that does 3 important things for me. It 1) fills my mind with the good, not the bad. 2) reminds me that I need to be able to listen to follow the path intended for me. 3) assures me that I have the highest of people around me, speaking words of life.
I am grateful for the space between these moments when I am "working on it!" Be happy for this moment, this moment is your life.
