Less Perfect

Arrival of Future

My Prayer List
Lord hear my prayer. For my health, relationships, finances, independence, patience, forgiveness, understanding, and love.
Foundation
The plan is set. The foundation has been laid for me. My purpose is clear. Let favor be with me. May the timing be just right. I claim the strength to build and fulfill my God-given destiny.
Whispered Hello
Thank You for simple pleasures filling my heart with gratitude. The kiss of color in a masterpiece of sky. The refreshing coolness of a breeze meeting the morning light. A whispered hello to You God, as I rise to meet this day.
Gentle Me
Lord I do not intend to offend. Keep the curse words and curt words far from my lips. Help me control my speech and others will see the gentle me I long to be. Amen
Humbled
Lord, I look to You to drive away the failures that haunt me. May I not dwell in the valley of disappointment. May I not walk in the shadows of shame. Help me learn to celebrate the victories, prideful of my accomplishments, and humbled in gratitude by my Creator.

Psalm 119:105
God’s word is a lamp to my feet and light on my path.
Jeremiah 31:4
I will be rebuilt. I will be happy again. I will dance with joy!
+ Excerpt from Hannah Brenchner
Just that line. Just the picture is stirred up in my brain. The writer Jeremiah was giving the people hope that there would be a) healing and b) rebuilding. He was declaring that every level of society would be renewed in the coming days, that people would live in towns built on mounds of rubble. It was in that moment, reading that verse when God stopped me and basically showed me, “I am not discounting your ruins. I am not throwing away the parts of your story that left you feeling crumbled and defeated. I’m not hiding those parts or forgetting those parts – I am actually using those. They are essential to the rebuilding process.”
Romans 14:12
I live my life as if I am accountable to God. And I am.
Colossians 3:23
Whatever work I do, I work at it with all I’ve got. I work for the Lord, I work for myself, I work for people I love.
James 1:5
Oh, Brilliant God, I ask You to fill me up with Your wisdom and I will receive it!
