A
plastic bag blowing
End
over end,
Reminding
me of tumbleweed
Blowing
in the wind.
Oh
that the bad times
Would
just blow away—
Like
that plastic bag
To
bring in a new day.
Thanks
be to God!
His
mercies are new every morning.
I
can trust Him at all times,
So I will begin and end this day singing…
Praises
to Him
With
thankgiving in my heart.
No
matter what today holds,
I
will trust Him in FULL and not in part.
Only
with His help
Will
this day pass
In
Joy and not regret—
Focusing
on today and not the past.
“Heavenly
Father, thank You for the gift of TODAY.
Thank
You that yesterday is gone, and Your mercies are new EVERY morning.
Great
is Your faithfulness, O Lord!
Your
steadfast Love endures forever!
I
will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made!
There
is no thing that is hidden from You.
You
see all.
You
know all.
You
know what will happen this day, and You are in control.
You
reign.
Even
amidst chaos, You reign—
and
are King over all.
You
are good.
I
belong to You.
You
have promised to take every situation—every THING in my life—and work it
together for my good—no matter how bad that thing is (Romans 8:28-29).
You
are all Powerful.
I
believe Your Word to be true.
I
believe You—
I put
my trust in You.
I
give You this day, and I thank You that nothing in it will surprise You.
Help
me to remember to tuck my hand inside of Yours and walk trustingly, even if I
am surrounded by death on every side.
I
choose to trust You, for my life is in Your hands, and even if I were to die at
the hands of cruel men, I will choose to praise You, for my life is Yours, it
exists for Your glory, and the home that awaits me in Your presence forever is
what I live this life for anyway.
O
Lord, You are so good, and I trust You.
Have
Your way in my life today and always, and may I never fear what man can do to
me, for he holds no power over You.
I
thank You, dear Lord.
You
are beautiful, and this day is Yours!
In
Jesus’ Name, I pray all these things.
Amen.”
What
is my cup of SonShine today?
To
not be afraid,
To
receive God’s mercies anew today,
And
to trust God for my future.
“You
are Amazing, Dear Lord!
I
praise You!
Strengthen
me with the power of Your Spirit that I may be refreshed and renewed and ready
for this new day You have given me to live.
I
praise You, Lord!
You
are Wonderful and Beyond Compare!
Fill
me with Your Spirit that I may honor You today.
I
step aside and give You full control.
All
I have is Yours.
Do
with me as You will.
In
Jesus’ Name, Amen!”
----Yourself?
