Lord God, I love you.  Let my life be a testimony to your Glory.  If I must be in pain or trouble then allow me to reside in the strength and knowledge that those viewing my circumstance will see Your Hand and be edified.  May I use the gifts, talents and assets given me, not to comfort or build up a monument to self, but instead to warn, prepare and plant seeds of Your Holy Word that the captives might be set free from sin and death.  Guide my life, my words, my choices and my steps that I may find good soil into which I might plant the Seed of Your Gospel message.  May I be filled with Spirit, Love, Power and Courage throughout my walk for Your Kingdom.

Where shall I walk?  What fears may I dissolve?  How shall my mettle be measured in the coming days of trial, turbulence and testing?  What may I do beyond your healing, comforting, protecting hand?  The relevance of my perspective becomes evident and I find that what I think, feel or interpret is of little consequence.  This victory is not of my planning, my effort, my personage, my cleverness, my talent, treasure or intelligence.  I will have effectively added nothing but my surrender to all things God.  The impossible before me is equally irrelevant for if I may not achieve anything, then I am also free of this constraining envelope.  Miracles, feats, displays of valor and victory have never been mine to achieve for I am but a vehicle by which Christ may be brought into the fray to declare “it is finished”, so that the enemy may drop the illusion and flee His Majesty.

What then is proper exhibition and alignment to purpose, a God designed raison de etre?  Am I to find comfort in being Holy, remaining pure for the Master?  Am I to take faith from diminishing fear?  Am I to find solace in offering love for those like myself that never deserved its warmth and comfort?  Am I to find some answer to my shaping by following a God who continually shows that He Will provide and that His Word is True?  Am I to forgive this world for the pain it delivers me and my family as we desperately cling to trust, hope an faith?  Am I to know that my battles whether ending in my favor are all pieces in God’s Plan to redeem all men to relationship?  Am I to know in this moment that when my last breath here is expired I will be forever in the presence of God?  Yes, the answer to all these questions is “I AM”.  Praise His name for it is the right thing to do for such a loving and Holy God.  In Jesus Name I pray for all of you this day.  May you find peace and blessing offered in the cleansing blood of the Christ of God, Jesus Christ the King.
