Lord, I need you!

Day 10:


Wow! What a day! 


So much to be thankful for and it started the moment I opened my eyes. Everyone can be thankful that they are alive. Well that is me today. Despite having lack of sleep, I still praised God. Today, I enjoyed being the hands of God. I went to my church and put stamps on envelopes. I also made copies and used the paper cutter to separate the copies. It was fun. I was even given my own little office to do my tasks, that was cool. I even talked to the music director and had him email me the songs from Christmas Eve. Yes one specific song made that much impact, that I had to ask. 


But I am getting ahead of myself, while I was on my way to the church, I went past an accident in my home town. In that moment, I was so thankful I was safe, and that God always protects. I am glad that the police, EMT, and firefighters. It made me happy that those people were well taken care of, but also secretly that God had a hand in this as well. I am not sure if the people in the car were believers, but I hope their world was shaken today and makes them think a little more.


Then I saw a hawk sitting on a highway sign, while traveling down the road. I always take seeing a bird, like a hawk or an eagle as a sign of God. They are such glorious creatures anyways. Then to make my day even more interesting, I pass a semi, with scripture on it. I didn't see what it said exactly but I want to say it was, "for God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son..." How can these signs not make someones heart happy?

Above is the song, that I heard at the Christmas Eve service, that I love. It is called, "Lord, I need you" by Chris Tomlin. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.


So I have been really confused lately as evidenced by yesterday's post, which was really scattered. Thankfully I had a few people praying for clarity. Praise God it worked! There is still things I am unsure of, but its not like the chaos and confusion of yesterday. But I choose not to worry about yesterday, that is in the past, and from my pastor's sermon on Sunday, know that my past doesn't define me or disqualify me from God's grace. I also wanted to share that I have been down on myself. Yesterday was one of those days, the spiritual warfare was really getting to me, and I didn't feel beautiful. I know its silly to say, because God tells us we are beautiful. Beauty isn't skin deep.


Lord,
I praise you for today. You are simply amazing. Thank you so much for always protecting me, and always loving me. Thank you for telling me that I am beautiful. Thank you for giving me all those signs today, that showed me your great love and mercy for us. I know I need you right now, please continue to guide my steps and calm my anxieties and fears. I pray that my friends continue to stay encouraged by your Spirit. I pray all these things in your name.


Amen.
