Dear Missionary Lady,
Greetings in the name of the God who is always ready to face the day. I say that because I am not always ready to face my day! God never has such issues.
Recently I read this verse. “My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up” (Psalm 5:3). It seemed like such a perfect verse for me in the mornings. When I am not ready to face my day, I can turn to God and tell Him about it.
I can tell Him that the day is too big for me and that I need His help. As I pray that way, I am looking up to Him to meet me where I am. I am depending on Him to carry me through, to guide all things, and to do for me what I cannot do.
Such a simple concept, and one I have tried to remember since then. To start my day saying, “Father, I can’t do this, and I am looking to You and asking You for Your help with this day.”
Short and sweet today, but I hope this is a blessing. Take care.
Love in Christ,
Peggy Holt
