A Servant's Heart

Today I am thankful for: being a homeschool mommy, children whose hearts love Jesus, clean laundry, snuggly covers, clean drinking water (& ice!), watching my daughter at dance, having Josh home for dinner tonight, naps (even if I can't take one!)

Thank You, God, for Your faithfulness!  As I read through Your word, Your statutes are so clear; if we obey, You pour out blessing beyond measure.  If we do not seek You, we fail and are marred by wars, loss, and death and disease.  It is so hard to understand why men continually put themselves above You!  Please help me to always be lowly, to have a heart that is genuinely humbled by You.  Help me to seek You, always, to yearn for Your will above all things.  I pray that I become more obedient day by day as I pray and read Your word.  Give me a desire for You that is raging and mighty; a passion above that for my family and self.  Show me how to deny myself and find more of You.  Give me a servant's heart, Lord; one that constantly craves to serve You and others so that YOU might be glorified.  I am but clay, Father; mold me into an image that is pleasing to You.  Thank You for loving me enough to do these things I ask.  I love You, Lord!  In Jesus' mighty name I pray, Amen!
