Inspire Me

" We continually remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ." 1 Thessalonians 1:3

I pray for inspiration and encouragement to come my way. By staying distant from people and commitment, I have chosen to avoid the connections that could inspire me in my faith. This journey is one that required the help of other people. Why do I resist that so?

God, please make me aware of those people who act out of love, concern, and sincere hope in You. Let their actions be examples that allow me a visible path toward a deeper relationship with You. May I, in turn, take notice of the times when I, too, can be a source of inspiration to another.

Revival

"And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows." Matthew 10:30-31

I have tried to keep my mood in check lately. The highs are high and the lows are low. While I strive to maintain a happy medium, to love under the radar, to freeze my emotions. You call me to be who I am in You. You want me to understand my value in You.

Lord, when I want to disappear, help me remember that You will always see me. You care rather I succeed or fail. When I want to become "normal" remind me that my unique situation is a blessing because it draws me closer to You and revives my desire to live fully.
