Quieting My Heart: His Agenda or Mine?

Whose agenda do I follow?

When I awake each morning,

do I think first of all

of all the things that I need to do?

Of all that is going on in my world?

Or do I remember

to pause,

and to also consider 

Who I am working for,

Who I am living for,

Whose I am?

If I really am created by God

for His purposes, for His glory - 

then clocking in with Him

is of highest importance,

as soon as I open my eyes

each morning, of each day.

“He must increase,

but I must decrease.”

(John 3:30)

Lord, may these words

be on my mind, my heart

each new day …

will Your agenda, Your plans,

be my highest goal each day …

and may I open up my

heart, and my mind, to

receive all that You have

for me today - 

all the love, all the strength, 

all the peace,

that You have for me today

as I follow You.
