" MAYBE...I HOPE...TODAY "







Morning has broken, and the night is past.

I find myself on my knees before You, Almighty God.

I know I cannot face the day without first greeting you.

Without Thanking You, for the protection you gave as the darkness shrouded.

Thank You for the Angels You posted round my dwelling that kept the shadows at bay.

Thank You for this new day opening out before me.




Teach me, in this day, to represent You, The King of Glory
in a way that will point others to Your Light.

I seek guidance from you, O`LORD, that will bring the Victory.

O` LORD, I desire that today, may be the day I won't fail You.

As I, ashamedly admit, I have so often in the past.

Maybe in the course of today I will remember these moments on my knees.

Maybe I will remember the way you greeted me
The gentle loving words of acceptance you offered.




Maybe today I will remember to speak those same kind words to someone I meet.

Maybe today my hand will be extended in friendship to one whom I never called friend before.

Maybe today will be the day I exhibit Your Love that has been planted in me.

Offering a savory sweet scent of The Rose of Sharon that will refresh their waning souls.

Maybe today I will look beyond myself and see the broken hearts and needs of others.




O`LORD, I wait for you to refresh my thirsty soul as I tremble on my knees before You.

Fill me to overflowing so I might offer to one that crosses my path a drink of Living Water.

Feed me the Bread of Life so my shelves are lined with Wisdom and Knowledge.

Maybe today I will remember to reach into my treasure supply,

To share the nuggets of gold you have deposited there.


Maybe today I will remember to offer from those shelves nuggets of Life.

Polished nuggets that will bring comfort and healing to aching hearts, and cracked cistern's.

Maybe today I will remember to offer Hope, where it seems there is no hope.

Maybe I will remember to be less selfish with the music you have imprinted on my soul.

Maybe I will remember to share that Song of Songs, so they might learn the tune.




As night begins to descend, I find myself back on my knees before You, Almighty God.

I know I cannot rest, nor sleep, till I counsel with you the day events.

O`LORD, today I hope I remembered and acted on all the things I vowed.

I hope today I was a woman you were pleased represented You, Lover of my Soul.

I hope today I gave to others the ONLY thing that lasts for Eternity...You, Christ Jesus.

As I feel sleep drifting over me in these last few moments, I hope you will agree,




Today WAS the Day,

there was less of me

and

MORE of THEE.
