Late tonight I was finishing a book I’ve been reading called “A Bend in the Road…..Experiencing God When Your World Caves In.” I bought this book when I found out Martha had Stage IV Breast Cancer, read it quickly and mailed a copy to her. I have since given several copies to people who are going through various types of trials. In fact, I just ordered a copy to be sent to Doug and Kelly Humphreys. Anyway, I was reading a prayer by Richard Kriegbaum, Leadership Prayers, and the Lord immediately brought you to mind. I have typed the prayer below.

“So much depends on me, yet all I have for this task is whatever health and energy You give me….I eat carefully, rest, exercise, and think positive thoughts, and still this wretched lump of clay fails me. You have Creator’s rights on my body. You formed every miraculous part. What You take away is Your business. I will do what I can with whatever capabilitiy You give me. It yours….
The days end as the years end, with never enough time for all the good that could be done, only just enough for Your priorities, if I get them right. You created time, and it does not limit You. But I do not have a thousand years today, God. I have only now.
So this day is Yours; I am yours” these people are Yours, the resources are Yours. The challenges we face are Yours, as is anything we hope to accomplish.
It’s Yours, God. It ’s not mine.”

I am going to ask Tim Redmond if I can share this at the next CRM Board Meeting. What a wonderful way to start out each day!
