It is my practice and privilege to spend
time each morning in prayer. I try to
prepare for the day and all that it might bring. To go into the day without prayer would be
like walking down the road barefoot, or out into a storm without an
umbrella. Pray puts a hedge of
protection between me and the irritants of the day. There are some people who seem to seek out
things to be dissatisfied about. They
don’t seem to be happy unless they are unhappy if that makes sense. I feel sorry for them. God wants us to be happy, to appreciate the
gift of life and joy he gives to us. A
life well lived is not a life complaining about others or about things. It is a life enjoying the things both large
and small that are all around us.
Lord, forgive us our complaints. We know that you wish for us to enjoy life.
Open our lives to the blessings you offer and help us to complain less. Help us to respect the opportunity for a good
life that you give us and respect that same opportunity for others. We ask in
Jesus’ name. Amen.
As we focus on enjoying life, let’s be in
prayer for those victims of the mass shooting at the movie theatre in Aurora,
CO.
Blessings,
Paige
