"...I used to pray that God would give me something--strength, wisdom, patience, the solution to a problem. I was forever telling God what was wrong with my life and what God needed to do to fix it. Today, I talk things over with God to decide what I can do, not what God should do. This is the key to spiritual power, to finding God in so many wonderful places both ordinary and extraordinary." ~Father Leo Booth
Meditation
Dear God, For many years I prayed for You to fix me; to solve my problems and save me from myself. My own stubborn willfulness would lead me into the swamp, then I would impatiently implore You to rescue me. Allowing You to guide my decisions and my days works in the most incredible way. Each ordinary moment carries an extraordinary opportunity for being with You. I place this day under Your direction and let it be what You would have it be. Thank You, God!
