prayer

Today is day 4 of my new job. One that I had prayed for - for a while.

There's always that awkwardness of getting to know your new co-workers and letting them get to know you. Each person is so different and it is easy for me to make snap judgments or think I have them figured out from those first few encounters.

I am making a conscious decision daily, to not let that happen. I don't think that someone can know me in 4 days and consequently, how could I know them?

So, in the middle of my worried thoughts this morning, I realized that I hadn't turned it over to the Lord. The relationship part, I mean. I want God to control my actions and words as I go through each day. I am blessed and grateful that he has moved me into a new work environment, but my faith shouldn't stop at gratitude.

I know that he wants me to lean on him and to seek his will each day, each moment.

Prayer for the day:

Lord, I want to fulfill your will in my life. I want my actions and words to be yours. Please use my life each day, Lord, for your glory. I pray for wisdom of and strength to do your will. In your holy name, Lord.

Amen
