Dear Lord; Friday morning at the office started with a couple phone calls from clients who were absolutely “freaked out” due to problems with their computers. Neither were serious, and both were remedied quickly but the extreme reactions the people gave made me revisit the “it’s all little stuff” thought. Thank you for helping keep me grounded, and seeing what’s truly important. Amen. ~Phather Phil
Dear Lord; This morning I’m struggling to find focus. With a seemingly immense number of projects and issues to deal with both professionally and personally, it’s difficult to pin down a starting point at the moment. As I work to prioritize, please help guide my thoughts to a beneficial and productive direction, and direct my mind and efforts to a positive end. Amen. ~Phather Phil
Dear Lord; Regret is an amazingly difficult thing to get past sometimes. Luckily, I have very few regrets in my life, but those I do have can cause me pain like nothing else. Please help us all learn from our mistakes, and not dwell in them. Through your Compassion and Grace, help us forgive ourselves and gain knowledge and motivation to become better people from our experiences. Amen ~Phather Phil
Dear Lord; Perspective is everything. For example, it seems the last day or so has seen one problem after another which left me feeling overwhelmed this morning. However, when I looked back at everything that happened I realize that none of the issues were major, there were just a lot of them. Therefore, I’ve chosen to count my blessings that it was all little stuff. Amen. ~Phather Phil
Dear Lord; On this rainy Monday morning my prayers go out to those in the area that have suffered damage to their homes or been hurt by the flooding we’ve had. While my family has been spared so far, I’ve seen the pictures and have friends that have been affected by this damaging weather. Please let them feel the Comfort of your Presence, and Protect them from the rains to come. Amen. ~Phather Phil
Dear Lord; Well, it’s Friday once again. It’s been a long, tiring and wet week here, but the weekend is nearly upon us and I’m looking forward to recharging my physical, emotional and spiritual batteries. Please send us your Peace and Calming Influence over this down-time. Keep us safe, and help us see through any negatives we may be feeling so we can focus on our Blessings. Amen ~Phather Phil
