WRITING A DEVOTIONAL
WRITING A DEVOTIONAL
Back in 2003 after having spent the year before reading Sarah Ban Breathnach's book "Simple Abundance" I took her suggestion to heart and wrote my own daily devotional. Each day I took a line or two from one of the various spiritual authors from the last three centuries I was reading and wrote my own thoughts on the subject. I then looked for a scripture that illustrated the truth that had been revealed to me. What follows is the result.
"Our greatest bondage is to have our own way; our greatest freedom is to let God have His way." Warren Wiersbe

Prayer Bookmark
I use the below prayer each morning to ask God to help me live one day at a time in His Care. It can be copied and pasted onto another page, then printed and laminated and used as a bookmark for your Bible or devotional book where you will see it each morning and be reminded you belong to God.
Father, I surrender
yesterday and give
it up to You. I give
You my failures, my
regrets, and my
disappointments, for
I have no more use
for them. Make me
now a new person,
forgetting what lies
behind and pressing
on toward that
which lies ahead of
me. I give You all my
hopes and dreams
for the future.
Purify them by Your
Spirit so that my
will shall truly
reflect Your will
for me. As I stand
on the threshold of
another day,
encourage me by my
successes of the
past, challenge me
by the power of
your Word, and
guide me by the
presence of Your
Holy Spirit.
