I will call upon the LORD!

The undertow of the worldly world has been strong lately. It is so frustrating when satan is nipping at you on every front. He constantly is trying to alter plans and intentions. He casts his seemingly innocent bait and gingerly dances it before us hoping to draw us into his trap! He beckons us to follow the masses, "everyone can't be wrong".

FATHER, I call upon YOU for deliverance. I call upon YOU for strength, for YOUR wisdom, for YOUR guidance. FATHER keep me centered in YOU. Help me to be honorable and CHRIST-like in my personal and business dealings. Help me to think before I speak, to be willing to turn the other cheek, to be selfless instead of selfish. Help others not to perceive these as my weaknesses but YOUR strength in me. Let YOUR light shine in me. FATHER forgive me when I am tempted to say or do things I shouldn't. FATHER, the battle rages, help me to not look down or around but to lift my eyes and lock them on YOU. My heart is heavy. There is so much emotion boiling as I prepare to leave for my work. Help me to not dread this years contract but to embrace it with its challenges. I ask for YOUR peace and comfort. I continue to pray for Rene', Carol, Michelle, and Aimee. Bless them and keep them. I pray for those in our extended family that have needs and issues, I ask that YOU will see to their needs. May this day be blessed. Thank YOU LORD.
