October 4

We thank you Dear God this morning for the preciousness of a brand new day of living. Thank you that Your thoughts for us include taking in Your created breathe another moment, hour and day. Please forgive us when we assume that life will continue as it did yesterday, with us in it. Forgive us when we take our mere existence for granted. We know that were it not for grace, we'd be living a life lost, destitute, hopeless and orphaned. We thank you Lord that You had a different plan for us from the beginning, one with a Future and a Hope; one that involved an Adoption ceremony. We accept all that You have for us. We submit to Your perfect Blueprint for our lives. We surrender our warped views of happiness, fulfillment and satisfaction. We look to You and You alone. Help us to keep our eyes fixed on the Prize today, is my prayer in the Gift of all gifts name, Amen.
