Oh Amen to that @angels4u One of the things I think to myself when I wake up in a morning is that I'm a day closer to seeing and being with Jesus. Be it either Him calling me Home, or Him returning. One or the other, we're a day closer to that day when we are with Him for eternity. And, life is going fast. Each year seems to go quicker and quicker. We will be there with Him before we know it!

The "flesh mind" wants to run through a list of things that it is we have to do that day. It also wants to run through all the things that happened the day before. Allowing our "flesh mind" to just carry on and do this whilst we're waking up can cause us anxiety, low mood, and to just want to turn over and go back to sleep. I try to counteract this, and it works, by consciously stopping myself from thinking like this, and even though I'm a bit groggy first thing, I try to keep it simple. So, I say the Lord's prayer to myself before I get out of bed. Therefore I've thought of and spoken to Jesus before I've done anything that day. Our Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, As it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, The power, and the glory, For ever and ever. Amen. 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And... where are my parents now? With "The King"! Amen. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a great idea... which I plan to try doing myself now that you've shared it. Thanks. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes we might downplay what we can really do to make an impact in this world. I came across this little devotional on the subject that I'd like to share: Little things, small things, insignificant things are used by Jesus to make huge differences. A cup of cold water is such a wonderful thing when you are thirsty, away from home, and need some time to think and reflect. A gift of a cup of cold water is so powerful if it is offered in Jesus' name, is shared to honor him, and is given to bless others out of thanks for his grace. In such circumstances, a cup of cold water is much more than a drink; it becomes a holy gift given to the Lord himself. Today's Prayer Almighty God, help me notice more small things that I can do to bless others and serve them as I would serve the Lord himself. In the name of the Lord Jesus I pray. Amen. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a wonderful way to honor our Lord! -- simple, meaningful, and powerful when offered in Jesus' name. 18 minutes ago, turtletwo said: Today's Prayer Almighty God, help me notice more small things that I can do to bless others and serve them as I would serve the Lord himself.

When we all get to heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be! When we all see Jesus we'll sing and shout the victory. 2 While we walk the pilgrim pathway clouds will overspread the sky, but when traveling days are over, not a shadow, not a sigh. 3 Let us then be true and faithful, trusting, serving every day; just one glimpse of Him in glory will the toils of life repay. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
