Today I felt like I was straining at the "bit".
Jesus wants to take the "wildness" out of us. He wants us predictable. He longs for obedient sons and daughters. Just as we appreciate our children being quick to obey ~ so does our Heavenly Father.
Father Gentle Me
Lord I come with a heartfelt prayer.
asking You to change me.
I strain and stress at the path that You take
Only to cause one more mistake.
Gentle me Lord
Do as You please
to make me into one
who will walk with You in ease..
I need Your patience, Your strength and Your Will
As all I have to offer is negative and nil
I long for transformation, to be changed inside and out
Please dear Jesus You know what I'm about
Help me to sit quietly
as You do Your work within
That I might display the Presence
Of the Holy Spirit within
Father Gentle Me
Blessings!

ReplyDeleteHi Marnie
ReplyDeleteYou are a woman of strength and dignity!
Ps 84:1 How lovely is Your dwelling place!
I'm reading So Long Insecurity and I never thought of Ps 84:1 in that context - always thought of His dwelling place as heaven. Now I see it in a different light! I am, you are His dwelling place and very lovely to behold!!!
Love you, Joann
Thank you for sending just what I need for today. Cindy
ReplyDeleteGentleness is a good thing for which we pray.
ReplyDeleteIt is only needed because we have strength.
It is a good thing that God has given us strength.
We should praise Him for the way He made us
even if something else is needed to go with it.
Those whom God has made to be race horses
should rejoice in their innate desire to get into
the race even though they have to learn to wait for the
gate to be opened and to wait for the Master to
give the spur, ok, now go full out, the finish line
is ahead and we will win.
Here is a word that has helped me often, “It is better
to ride a bucking horse than a dead one.”
Blessings, Pastor Bill
