Mmm, Something to Talk About
July 10, 2009
So, I’ve been working a lot, and feel like I haven’t truly interacted with friends, or even my coworkers and customers in the ways that I should be. Not that I’m mean spirited and angry or grumpy and indifferent all the time. No. But, I just feel lame, like I’m a crippled believer and can’t exactly express Christ’s love without being a bit worried that I’ll be criticized or ostracized if only for a moment. And why am I so timid? What’s that all about. I want to stop being timid!
A prayer:
God, what am I doing? I’m trying to learn and be with You and spend time with You, but I feel as if I’m failing. There are so many things I want to incorporate into my daily routines, but it seems life barely allows enough time. I get lost in minimal tasks and things which I don’t really have to do, becoming concerned with small things that may not be important. I just wonder…what is great in life? How can I choose those things? What direction do you want for me How can I live powerfully and deeply with you daily? I know some days are lesser and some more, but Jesus, please help me find something to put my energy and heart into, this life, that is pleasing to You and lets me radiate love to You and reflect it to others. I don’t want selfishness and consumerism to be my self-imposed calling. Steal me away from that; make me brave and fierce enough to choose differently.
Make my life rich. Dwelling with You, My Redeemer.
