Perfect Timing
I pray today that you have God’s perfect timing in your life. I pray that things are not too fast or too slow – but perfect. I pray that you will allow God’s Divine order to determine your speed and your direction. You will find that you enjoy the journey as much as you enjoy the destination.
No Nonsense
Dear God, let my mouth speak common sense, not nonsense. Silliness doesn’t honor You, and it doesn’t represent me. I’m better than that. You deserve more. As I reflect on my behavior, let me know the satisfaction of a life rightly lived by Your teachings. Praise to You, who inspires me daily.
Grace and Glory
Dear God, Your grace and mercy give me hope for myself and our world. Grace is but glory begun, and glory is but grace perfected. I do not at all understand the mystery of grace, only that it meets us where we are but does not leave us where it found us.
