Dear Lord; Good morning Father.\u00a0 Today Lord, I want to follow up on a discussion we had earlier this week where we talked about finding my \u201cOne Word Focus\u201d for this year.\u00a0 You and I have been \u201cchatting\u201d a lot about this over the last few days, and my mind\u2019s been flooded with so many words describing parts of myself that I know could use work.\u00a0 Throughout all those deliberations and prayers however, I keep hearing one word in the midst of it all :<\/p>\n
Accept<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Ok, message received\u2026 \u201cAccept<\/span>\u201d it is.\u00a0 I\u2019ll admit, it\u2019s not quite along the lines of what I had originally conceived when I started down this path but I\u2019ll Accept<\/span> Your Guidance :-).<\/p>\n So this morning, I started contemplating what the word Accept<\/span> means in relation to my life, and the more I thought about it the bigger the scope grew.\u00a0 There are so many things that I currently Accept <\/span>(and possibly shouldn\u2019t), and so many more that I need to work on.\u00a0 For example, as we discussed yesterday I need to work on the fact that my nature is to try and fix everyone\u2019s problems, when obviously that\u2019s not a realistic perspective.<\/p>\n I need to Accept<\/span> that I\u2019m not in control and that I can\u2019t fix everything.<\/em><\/p>\n Wow\u2026 So, I\u2019m starting to understand why you put this word in my heart Lord.\u00a0 I guess there are more things in my life that I haven\u2019t fully Accept<\/span>ed than I had originally thought.\u00a0 This is a truly powerful word, and I thank You for seeding me with it.<\/p>\n Heavenly Father, thank You so much for instilling this focus in my heart and mind.\u00a0 As I contemplate and pray about this direction over the coming year, please lead me to recognize and Accept<\/span> all Your Truths and proceed with them in Your Love.\u00a0 Amen.<\/p>\n ~Phather Phil<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear Lord; Good morning Father.\u00a0 Today Lord, I want to follow up on a discussion we had earlier this week where we talked about finding my \u201cOne Word Focus\u201d for this year.\u00a0 You and I have been \u201cchatting\u201d a lot about this over the last few days, and my mind\u2019s been flooded with so many […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3],"tags":[691,689,692,690,36,508,667,666,42,21,140,133,355,141,77,642,81,55,572,217,249,695,700,696,699,693,694,680,697,348,138],"class_list":["post-487","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-daily-emails-to-god","tag-accept","tag-chatting","tag-conceived","tag-deliberations","tag-direction","tag-discussion","tag-fix","tag-fixer","tag-focus","tag-guidance","tag-heart","tag-love","tag-message","tag-mind","tag-nature","tag-one-word","tag-path","tag-perspective","tag-powerful","tag-pray","tag-prayers","tag-problem","tag-proceed","tag-realistic","tag-recognize","tag-scope","tag-solve","tag-truths","tag-understand","tag-word","tag-work"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p18mMc-7R","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.phatherphil.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/487","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.phatherphil.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.phatherphil.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.phatherphil.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.phatherphil.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=487"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.phatherphil.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/487\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":488,"href":"https:\/\/www.phatherphil.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/487\/revisions\/488"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.phatherphil.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=487"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.phatherphil.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=487"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.phatherphil.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=487"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
