Prayer

Here's a prayer sent to us by our friends Robert and Ros as part of their weekly newsletter. It just seemed very timely and applicable in many ways so I wanted to share it with you.

So often, Lord, when we are feeling insecure,
it is because we are using the wrong set of measuring tools.
Were we to see the weighing scales
You use to value all we do,
we might not recognise them as such,
for You evaluate by entirely different criteria,
seeking less the outcomes that the world considers good
than the love and devotion with which we carry out our tasks –
and the measure of obedience that lies within them.
So realign our heart’s desire
to be more in tune with Yours,
for the more we succeed in doing this
the more joy we will know in our spiritsand the more comfort we will bring to others too
