SEPTEMBER 2 Reflection for the Day
When I wake up, Iâll think quietly about the twenty-four hours ahead. Iâll ask God to direct my thinking, especially asking that it be free from self-pity and from dishonest or self-seeking motives. If I have to determine which of several courses to take, Iâll ask God for inspiration, for an intuitive thought, or a decision. Then Iâll relax and take it easy, confident that all will be well.
Can I believe that, when I give up my "rights" of expectations, Iâll know freedom?
Today I Pray
I praise God for being able to praise God, to choose the times when I will seek Him, to find my own words when I talk to Him, to address Him in the way that seems most right to me. May I expect that He in turn must be free of my expectations, to affect my life as He sees fit.
Today I Will Remember
Who am I to try to tell God what to do?
