Oh, the complexity of the human brain, Father! Many times in our coming together it has taken great effort to reign in my thoughts…and today is one of those days. Some days I have enough forethought to not let other thoughts or images to crowd in on the task at hand. Regardless of what state my brain is in Father, You can pierce through all and help me to focus on the most important goal of each morning…listening to what You have to say to me and abiding in Your presence. Thank You, Father, for redeeming my thoughts and my time.

Quite frequently in recent weeks I have felt drawn to prayer in our time together. It is of great benefit to me but I have my no means mastered it. I am improving but my mind still wanders and it is not deliberate by I’m sure that I doze off on occasion. But, Lord, You are patient. You love me and encourage me to keep at it. I read of men like George Mueller and how greatly he impacted the world through prayer and desire to follow in their footsteps. Lord, use me.  Help me to diligently pursue You, to continually be at the privilege of communing with You so as to do Your will every moment of my life.

The world so desperately needs You – may I be a willing tool in Your hand. Amen.
