Dear God,
You are
incredible. I feel like in January
there are so many gorgeous sunsets and sunrises; honestly they’re what got me
into photography. The skies
really do proclaim the work of your hands. God, there’s a lot that I feel like I have to do today, and
I confess that I’m allowing it to hinder my peacefulness. In fact, I’ve probably been doing that
a lot lately. God, this time last
year I was probably the most peaceful and joyful that I’ve ever been. And I still have peace and joy, but
truthfully I’ve allowed my awe at your blessings to somehow fade. That awe, that joy and peace, it
increases my faith and decreases my self-indulgence because I know you’re the
best it gets. So Lord, I pray that
you would give me the peace to not be stressed out all day. As I carry out the tasks I have to
complete, fill me with a calm and peace that erases all worry. Help me not to waste time, to just sit
around. I don’t want to feel like
I have to fill every scarp of time I have, but I certainly don’t want to
overindulge in Facebook and Instagram, which are honestly worth five minutes of
my time a day.
Thank you
for your Joy and Peace, Lord.
Mark
