Living Intentionally

Living Intentionally

FATHER GOD, reveal to me

the props I use to disguise my true self;

how to receive your gift of self-confidence in order that I might be more open, responsive, and relaxed so I can be the authentic witness you have called me to be;

when the time has come for me to throw in the towel in order to better live by my priorities;

when I need to allow others to help me face the headwinds of life;

a quality mentor who can teach me and challenge me to live with excellence;

steps I can take to fortify my courage in order to persist—even when I keep falling down;

when I whine too long and too often;

wisdom brought through my confusion;

those areas where I am serving from my head rather than my heart;

kind and truthful ways to say no;

new ways to spend my talents and contacts today.

Actions I will take:

Example: I will kindly and respectfully decline to serve on the PTA board by saying, “Thank you for asking, but I must decline at this time.”

Father, open our hearts and minds with your light; open our eyes to the rich life you have abundantly given us. Help us, O Lord, to live each day for you, intentionally. Amen.
