When I look back on my life, I hope that I remember the times of trial, times of laughter, times of joy, and most importantly the precious moments spent with the people who I hold dearest to my heart. There is nowhere on this planet that I would rather have been last night…than where I was. There are no friendships like the friendships shared among the saints….and my life has been no exception.
My heart woke up smiling, rejoicing in the opportunity that the day provided me…to be a blessing, to think of others before myself, and most importantly to love. I am working on forming new habits, changing my reality, and climbing the mountain of faith. Following Jen J.’s recommendation, today I began to write down my prayers. As they are answered I plan to write down the answers as well…that I might have testimonies and reminders of God’s love and diligence in answering our prayers.
I started with nine specific prayers. If I exercise persistence, discernment, and faith believing - I know God will answer my prayers. No shocker…first on my list is:
“Heavenly Father, Please help me to completely give my life over to you and to trust in your infinite wisdom and love. Please continue to show me the things that are keeping me from you and help me to release the need for control that has burdened me for way too long.”
