Father, I worship you and give YOUR Name the praise. For you alone are worthy of all the praise.
I invite you to step in this place and take control. I submit to Your will, Your Word and Way. Direct my steps and guide me on my way. What is it that I can do for You, Body of Christ and Kingdom today. What is that you want me say, do or give to help someone along their way. I am listening, and believing that Your plan for my life will be made manifest today in each thought, word act and deed. Thank you for your grace, mercy and guidance. Amen
Thought for Today
You cannot and should not consider making plans without consulting God. James 4 provides us with a clear and uncut principle in why following our own plans and designs don't really work out in the long run. We battle within, and covet what others have because we are fixated on our passions, plans and desires which seek to advance and succeed by this world and people standards. We are conflicted because we are trying to fit in and find our place in this world. But truth be told we have not because we ask not and when we do ask; we miss the mark because with ask with selfish motives.
Most would say Oprah Winfrey has achieved by worlds standards "success." Ms. Winfrey has done wonderful works and she may be consider expert on overcoming and succeeding by some.
