It was a warm, sunny day when I arose and praised God for another beautiful day. My window was open and I could smell the beautiful red roses that were planted outside my window. I looked out my window and thanked God for the beautiful nature that He provided for us.

Then I lifted my eyes toward heaven. I dreamed of the goodness and glory there. For a moment, I glimpsed the brightness of the Sun of Righteousness. The unspoken glory of God resounded through my heart. I searched the clouds to see the beauty they beheld, and my eyes moved across infinity as there was no end to this glorious sight. The sun was shining brightly as warm rays of hope and love encamped my soul.

As I gazed at the beauty He had created, I wondered how He could stand to look upon, my sinful soul. I fell to my knees in thankfulness, for His grace and forgiveness, for the mercy that was shown to me, by a gracious father.

I praised Him with all my heart. I lifted my hands to Him and praised HIM with all my soul. The glorious sun rays shone upon my face as I continued praising Him and lifting up my day to our loving Father. I prayed with all my heart and closed with an Amen. I got dressed and went downstairs and proceeded to make my breakfast. As I was making breakfast, I thanked our Father for the wonderful food.

While I was driving to work, I took the opportunity to thank God for the blessings of my car, a good job, a safe place to live, and family and friends, who love me. I thanked Him for His protection, for the peace that He has flooded into my soul, and for His mercies, which are new each day.

I asked God to make me shine as brightly as the sun in my workplace so that others may see Him in me and be drawn to Him. I asked Him to guide me through all of my activities at work, and to just let anything that may bring me trouble during the day be used to His glory and not cause me to stumble or get stressed. I placed my day into His hands.

I never did mind the long drive into the city. It was just me and God, and I would always enjoy my time with Him with no distractions. But today was different...

I was driving over a three lane bridge at about 65 miles per hour and through my peripheral vision, I saw a car drive up alongside of me. As I casually glance at the driver, it appears that he is motioning something to get my attention. With an urgent look on his face, he begins pointing straight ahead to something on the road.

This made me nervous, but as I looked forward again, I noticed that there was a car ahead which was stalled in the lane I was in. Whoa! I did not even see that!

When I looked to my left again to motion a "thanks" to him, he wasn't there anymore. I looked through my mirrors and saw no one. I looked to my right and then quickly turned my head to look behind me, but there was not one car in sight. Was I going nuts??

I knew then that God had sent one of His angels to protect me. I was so thankful that God loves me and cares about me enough to protect me from all harm.

As I arrived at work, there was no parking spaces left to park in. Oh no, I said, Lord help me because I have to be in the office in five minutes and I do not have a place to park. I circled around the parking lot. Oh my, what will I do?

As I lifted my prayer up to our loving Father and came down another isle, a parking space became available. I thanked and praised Him with all my heart. I hurried into the office building, went up the elevator and went to my desk. Before I started my day, I prayed for His guidance in every way. While sitting at my desk, a friend came up to me and asked for prayers.

Christina has worked here for a long time and she knew that I was a prayer warrior and believed in God. As she approached me, she was shaking and tears fell upon her cheeks. Please pray with me!! I know that your prayers will be heard.

I told her that her prayers are heard as well, if you just believe. I asked her what was wrong. With a trembling voice, she told me about her child, Angelica. They just found out that she had leukemia. The Doctors are doing so many tests on her. She had not been eating well and was sick a lot. Angelica was so tired all of the time.

I don't know what to do or how to make her better, Christina said. I told her to kneel and pray with me. We prayed that God be with Angelica as she goes through this. We prayed that God would have his hands on everything that was taking place and to heal Angelica and make her better. We prayed for about 15 minutes for God's will to be done. Just before we finished with our prayer, in walked our Boss man.
