What do You want from me?!#?!?

What do You want from me?!#?!?

Ps. 50:14a

OFFER TO GOD [willingly give up]

the SACRIFICE [give up that which involves a considerable amount of effort, work, or determination]

of THANKSGIVING. [as a result of having received goodness]
--------------------------

Pray the Word:
Lord, in the times we’ve found ourselves up against a wall and we’ve prayed, ‘Lord, what do You want from me?!#?!? ___  More hymn singing? More prayer? More attendance at church? More reading my Bible?  More putting a fake smile on my face pretending that my troubles don’t bother me?’ .   .  .  and, then, You remind us again that the SACRIFICE OF A  THANKFUL HEART IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES is what You want – So, even though there are aspects of it that we can’t possibly enjoy; much less understand  .  .  we willingly give up to You our SACRIFICE OF THANKSGIVING for the goodness we’ve received in our trials that has opened up to us our shortcomings, has led us to a deeper relationship with You and has given meaning to the eternal purpose of it all.

Thank you for reading my blog of thoughts, encouragement and instructions the Lord speaks about to me. It is simply my therapy to write down these things as I walk my journey out with Him. I would love to hear back from you. Each new day is a blessing! Dorothy
