Dear God, my mind swirls with thoughts about how I will or should handle problems that I face, how I will respond to events, how I will get things done. My self-centered mind sees me as the prime mover. But this is illusion. My role is not to overcome obstacles, but instead to simply play my part, the one ordained and designed by you.
God, fill me with willingness to do your will today. My experience has been that, if I expend effort in truly seeking and discerning your guidance, that I have unlimited stores of motive power. The more I help others in your name, the more energy I have.
What a glorious, ever-renewable resource is your love! Yours is the cup that never empties. When my energy and ability are depleted, it typically means I am pursuing my own selfish ends. My energy wanes. When I pursue your will, I find that I never tire.
Let me seek and do your will today.
