Letter 4418
I feel the strength you gave me as I walk the grounds, and find all the things that will require effort. Stones to be moved, wood to be cut and stacked, a dwelling that needs to be cleaned.
With satisfaction, I know I am up to these tasks.
❖
Can I direct my strength, Lord, towards my spirit? So much progress is yet to be made, and these tasks feel insurmountable. How can I overcome self?
Lord, let me direct my energies toward becoming whom you would have me be.
Consider:
Am I willing to work on my soul today?
