Teach me to reign in my enthusiasm.  Show me the power of silence in preparation of uttering appropriate words.  Give me the consistent control, focus and comprehension as the Spirit uses me as vessel.  Loose my tongue upon Your timing and for Your purpose.  I pray that you will forgive my idle phrases and flippant banter spent for my own account.  Give me peace at night reflecting upon my own kindness and compassion.

I don’t like melancholy Lord, but I know that these moments come upon us for great reason.  Time of meditation, review and redirection always seem to be well spent.  The part I dislike about it is the dampening of spirit.  The moments when my energy is spent, feeling emptied of my own internal courage and comedic nature.  These are the moments when I know You most.  When I’ve put away my own folly, ambition and disinformation seeing that when all that I have is gone, you are still there to provide and protect.  It is a lesson in surrender this grey mourning of my soul.  Let me keep this calm, humility even when my batteries are bursting.  Self control and moderation are often my best companions.  Keep us safe Lord as we go about your business.  Let us be forever mindful of Your Glory.

You save me every day reminding me I’m free at last.  Praise You Jesus My Salvation and Hope.  Amen.
