Thursday
Prove me, O Lord, and try me; test my heart and mind.
Psalm 26:2
Thursday
Prayer
Outwardly, I may look fine and perfectly healthy. Inwardly, I am often full of worry and
anxiety. Lord, give me inner peace and
free me from the tumult of my heart and mind.
You have created me and know me better than I know myself, O God. The crosses of health that I carry weigh
heavily on me and drive me to worry.
Precious Lord, enable me to place all my concern onto you, trusting that
you have a plan for my life. Amen.

Meditation
To be living reminds of God we must be concerned
first of all with our own intimacy with God.
Once we have heard, seen, watched and touched the Word who is life, we
cannot do other than be living reminders.
Once our lives are connected with His, we will speak about Him, sing His
praise and proclaim His great deeds, not out of obligation but as a free,
spontaneous response… Prayer, not in the sense of prayers, but in the sense of
a prayerful life, a life lived in connection with Christ, should be our first
and overriding concern.
