Sharing

Lord,

Please help me to remember that Your gifts are for sharing.

Help me to remember that there is more than enough for me and for others too.

For every good thing I have is a gift You have given to me.  Just as You freely give good gifts to me, so too should I give freely to others.  Please help me to always remember this and to keep it in perspective.

Amen

Joy

Lord,

Help me to be open to joy in my life.

Help me me to accept that I can turn things around when I feel like the storm is rocking the boat too much.  You are with me, ready to walk, even on water, to help me.

Help me to know when to open my petals to others.

And when to close my petals to rest.

Lord,

Thank You for the gifts you have given to me and are giving me.  Let me learn how to best use them.  I have needed to be shown that the stream flows above ground and is not meant to be buried.

Amen
