Enough to need

August 13, 2008

Dear God,
Never allow me to think that I have knowledge enough to need no teaching,

To remain teachable;
To listen;
To keep an open mind; and
To learn now who’s right but what’s right.

Just for today

August 1, 2008

Thank You, God, for today.
This is the beginning of a new day. I can waste it or use it for good.

My Daily Prayer

God, I turn my will and my life over to You this day for Your keeping. Your will, Lord, not mine. I ask for your guidance and direction. I will walk humbly with You and Your fellowman. You are giving me a grateful heart for my many blessings. You are removing the defects of character [...]
