I want my response to everything God tells me to do to be Yes Lord! and Amen (which means So Be It !) No matter what it may cost me. 

A Servants Prayer For Reassurance

What to do, What to say.

May it all be from You each day.

Like water drawn from a well.

May it refresh everyone I touch and tell.

May my words and deeds turn someone away from Your wrath.

May my words and deeds help someone find Your path.

Don't allow fears to make me stand still.

Don't allow low self esteem to keep me from doing Your will.

Help me to do and say all in love.

Help me to know when it's just me or my Father above.

Lord I love You I do. Lord I trust You.

I don't want to speak or take a step unless You tell me to.

Man Yawn Na

The title of this is my version of  the Mexican word for tomorrow. Man I just yawn and say na I don't want to schedule spring cleaning now I will do it tomorrow. I don't want to make the list for spring cleaning supplies or the list of things that need doing. If  I was really organized I would have a notebook with all that information from last year and just do it again this year. Yet I think all the planning and list is a form of therapy for me. Anyway about Man Yawn Na usually if I put something off  for more than a day, it's because I feel over whelmed by what ever it is. If  I put something off for a day it's usually because I am tired. When I  feel over whelmed it's usually because, I see the task as something I don't think I can handle or I am feeling inadequate or unprepared. I see this happening in my spiritual walk as well. Sometimes I want to say or do things that I believe God wants me to say or do, but I put them off. I put them off because I am afraid people will get angry or not like me. I put things off because I feel like who am I to say or do thus and such. Fear, feeling inadequate, to lowly, over whelmed, unprepared, and uncertain if it really is God or me puts me in the company of a lot of  bible giants. People who did great things for God faced these same things. The big difference so far is that they stepped out in faith and said and did things. I know I must over come the things that stop me from speaking and doing things that God puts on my heart. I am also not forgetting that all must be said or done in love. By holding back I may be keeping others and me from a blessing. Or if  Jonah hadn't spoken to the people of  Nineveh they would have continued to be in big trouble with God. So might someone that I put off speaking to. I can never be a useful vessel if  I am afraid to be used or if  I never think I am ready or believe anyone of hundreds of lies my mind or satan feeds me about why to not say or do something. So this is where I am and this is where God is working with me now. Not Man Yawn Na.

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27:1 Though I speak with tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 1 Corinthians 13:1, Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my redeemer. Psalm 19:14, Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word. (spoken by Mary after hearing she was going to give birth to Jesus) Luke 1:38 Here I am Lord Your servant! Let all I do and say be according to Your will. ( my prayer and the way I want to respond to all God tells me to do.)
