Today I will be alert to the suffocating, draining toll of discouragement: that its presence in our lives is to be expected, but not feared; that its grip may be tenacious but not all powerful; and that if we are not able to break its grip ourselves, God can and in unexpected ways.
Today I will commit to ‘Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might.’ (Solomon) I commit to this because my actions, my life affects how others learn of Christ.
Today I will pray to be made one with Christ so that Your will that ruled Him will rule me.
Today I will seek God who gives the answer and not demand His answer. The disciples had the facts correct but drew the wrong conclusion. When we do the same, we may be tempted to reject God. The remedy is to pray that we get hold of God, not His answers.
Today I will seek knowledge and a simple, open frame of mind, not to appear wise but to deepen my relationship with Christ.
Today I will cling to the belief that nothing has the power to separate me from the love of Christ
