“May all your expectations be frustrated. May all your plans be thwarted, that you may experience the powerlessness and poverty of a child and sing and dance in the love of God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.”
A prayer offered by a friend for Henri Nouwen
Complete dependence on God is what I want. I think about, I can even do it for a few moments at a time. Then I forget. Especially when things are going well. But, in those times when I feel as if things are out of control, my thoughts turn to God. Those times increase my dependence on Him. But I want more than just a ‘lifeboat’ mentality. I want to be fully aware of God’s presence and sovereignty in my life every day. May it begin today.
Grace and peace,
Deb

God is telling me to live one moment at a time trusting in him. It seems like it should be so easy but I am determined to help God out and then things go downhill. So it is only when I can do nothing that I am willing to rely on him. My goal is for his will and my will to be the same. A life long process!
