Psalm 9:1-2 I will
praise you, O Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonders. I will
be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing praise to your name, O most High.
I’m on vacation this week! In an hour or so I will head for
the NC mountains. The cabin supposedly
has Wi-Fi and I want to keep in touch, however I may take a vacation from
writing daily devotions. I love sharing
them with you but it can be quite a bit of pressure to come up with something thoughtful
and original each weekday to share. One
of the many books and magazines I’m taking with me is a book of prayers, Quiet Spaces by Patricia Wilson.
Here is one of her prayers and a good one for you to have
this week:
“Here is today, O God.
I don’t know what this day will bring although I like to think that I
do. I have my schedule, my to-do list filled in, my agenda duly noted. I like
to think that I have this day under my control. But I know that’s not how most
days go. I know that today I will be surprised by sorrows, joys and challenges.
I know that today I will face both problems and adventures. I know that today
might be just an ordinary day or it might be the most extraordinary day of my
life. And I know that you are the only one that knows what lies ahead. So I
offer this day to you.
Here is today, O God. I give it to you, trusting that you
will take whatever happens in this day, and use it for your glory. I trust that
whatever happens today, you will be with me. Thank you for this day and its
endless possibilities. Thank you that I can face this day with you.
Here is today, O God:
a part of all the days we have spent together, a part of all the days to
come, a part of who I am and where I am on my journey, a part of the plan that
you have for me. Take this day, use it for your glory. Thank you, God. Amen.
Have a great week!
Paige
