Blessed Lord God,

Thank You. There was sleep. Some dreams. A song. 

(5:31 a.m.)

And time. A whole lot of time.

(5:56 a.m.)

Father, I ask (Matthew 7:7a) that You teach me to use well the time You have provided me. I can very easily waste it. I’d much rather not.

I want to love as You would have me love. You. Others. Myself. With all my heart, soul, mind and strength (Mark 12:30-31).

You know the plans You have for me. The ones that are for good and not for evil. To give me a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). 

You are the foundation on which I want to stand (Matthew 7:24-27; 1 Corinthians 3:11). Firmly. Knowing. Trusting. Believing.

Which brings me all the way back to the song with which I awoke. ♪We Believe in God the Father We believe in Jesus Christ We believe in the Holy Spirit And He’s given us new life We believe in the crucifixion We believe that He conquered death We believe in the resurrection And He’s comin’ back again♪

Mm, yes! I believe You Lord. Help my unbelief! (Mark 9:23b-24).

Use me as You know is best. I love, need, trust and want You. Thank You. Praise You. Amen.
