He Meets Me Where I Am

Seemingly ironic, but surely a "God-thing" that today I read our Bible study chapter on doubting. The following is the prayer at the end of the chapter, from the book "Lord, Change My Attitude" by James MacDonald (I highly recommend it!!)

Lord, I thank you today that You are a good and a faithful God. Oh, God, increase my faith! Give me this day and this week a greater capacity to trust you, to rest in Your promises. Lord, help me to see You related to the very circumstances I face. Might I see how all that comes our way and how we handle it is directly related to our willingness to rest in Your promises and walk closely with You. Grant that kind of victory to me. May this day be different because of what I've prayed and acknowledged before you in this moment. And I promise to give You thanks and praise and glory for Your care and compassion for my life. In Jesus' name I ask these things. Amen.

P.S. I guess I won't go to Australia.... they probably have bad days too! : )

Thanks for this post too...and yes, I don't think the timing is just coincidence. :)

Days like that in Australia? I almost mentioned that, but thought maybe you didn't need reminded of it just then!! :)
love you!
