Prayer for Guidance

God, Your Wisdom is unerring and inevitably produces good results. I open my mind to Your Wisdom guiding me to right decisions about next steps in my career. I give thanks that I clearly hear Your Voice in my heart and follow where You lead. Thank You, God.

God's Provision

"The Gulf Stream will flow through a straw provided the straw is aligned with the Gulf Stream and not at corss purposes with it." Annie Lamott

Most amazing God, whose breathtaking power parted the sea of troubles for the Israelites and whose magnanimous generosity fed their hungry souls in the desert, come now and swallow up my doubts and fears, my stress and struggles in Your unfathomable love. I cast my burdens to You now in trust that You will deliver me into freedom.

One with God through Prayer

"As we come ito the presence of God with prayer, holding the prayer steadily in mind and consciously unifying our mind with the mind of God, we are aware of the soundlessness of God's word as it weaves itself in and out through the whole soul and body consciousness, illumining, redeeming and restoring us." Charles Fillmore

New Beginnings: You Gotta Have Hope

Finish this sentence: There is a person inside of me who wants to......
Then consider what fulfilling that desire would take. Probably somewhere in the list "hope" would show up. If not, it will need to. Why? Because whether it's a matter of fulfilling our desires or overcoming a difficulty or disappointment, hope is the fuel for moving forward.

Consider my friend Daniel. He and Kate, the love of his life, had finally decided that their careers, which has kept them 2000 miles apart for six year, had to take a back seat to their love for one another. Kate found a job in California and on New Year's Eve Daniel proposed and slipped a ring on her finger. New beginning! It seemed like the hope that had flickered but never died had at last been fulfilled. It was short-lived, though. On New Year's Day Daniel was out for a bike ride and was struct by a car. The driver left Daniel for dead.

Hope was hard to come by those next twelve months as Daniel struggled for life--for breath.
His body was broken and often it seemed that his spirit was too. Kate came to his bedside daily. She was tireless in speaking words of hope in Daniel's ear as he lay in an induced coma.
One year and 37 surgeries later, hope won out. Daniel miraculously walked out of the hospital. Keep the fire of hope burning!
