Good Morning Lord!

I don't intend for this blog to be religious based although that is the foundation of my life, but I wanted to share this this morning particularly because it was meant for me :) My mom forwarded me an email-you know those annoying chain emails don't delete or you will be cursed kind of deals--but the prayer in the email was EXACTLY what I needed today!

I have been stressed with work. Working on a new project that keeps coming up with continuous issues. And a house I just bought that is bleeding me dry. (Just found out I need to buy a new HVAC on top of everything else I just did). So I was in a grumpy mood this morning. I was playing the role of Debbie Downer...so here is the message I got :)

Dear Lord, I thank You for this day, I thank You for my being able to see and to hear this morning. I ' m blessed because You are a forgiving God and an understanding God. You have done so much for me and You keep on blessing me. Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said or thought that was not pleasing to you...I ask now for Your forgiveness.. Please keep me safe from all danger and harm. Help me to start this day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude. Let me make the best of each and every day to clear my mind so that I can hear from You.. Please broaden my mind that I can accept all things. Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control over. And give me the best response when I ' m pushed beyond my limits.I know that when I can' t pray, You listen to my heart. Continue to use me to do Your will. Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others. Keep me strong that I may help the weak... Keep me uplifted that I may have words of encouragement for others. I pray for those that are
lost and can' t find their way. I pray for those that are misjudged and misunderstood.. I pray for those who don' t know You intimately..

Thanks for the reminder Lord :)
