Today was a good day!
On the way to school today the song Everyday was playing. It struck me that this was God's reminder at the start of the year, that this is how I should live out the rest of the year:
EverydayWhat to say, Lord? It's You who gave me life and I Can't explain just how Much You mean to me now That You have saved me, Lord I give all that I am to You That everyday I can Be a light that shines Your name Everyday, Lord, I'll Learn to stand upon Your word And I pray that I That I might come to know You more That You would guide me with every single step I take, that Everyday I can Be Your light unto the world Everyday, it's You I live for Everyday, I'll follow after You Everyday, I'll walk with You, my Lord Thank you God for this beautiful day, for the friends I have met, the new friends I made.
Kylie reminded me the other day that in the process of trying to fulfill my new year resolutions, I would face great obstacles. It took me by surprise because perhaps, life has been too easy for me. I had forgotten that life is a test and a training ground.
Now I say Lord, that I do not shy away from the challenges that await me. I do want to deepen my relationship with You very much. I pray only that You will give me the strength to see me through trying times. Also, please help me to always fix my eyes on You and on heaven.
Dear Lord, I also pray that even as I am busy with the many activities of Orientation, You will always be on my mind. I pray that whatever I do will be Christ-centered and focused on gloriying You.
AMEN.
Oh no I realise that my prayers recently have been very focused on myself and my needs :( I'm too caught up with myself :(
Tmr! I shall try to remember to think more of others instead. The J.O.Y. (Jesus first, then others, finally yourself) principle!
Dear Lord please send the Holy Spirit down on me to help me with this. Amen!
