Dear Lord; Happy Monday Father!<\/p>\n
Today Father, as You know my thoughts and prayers were very much reaching towards Shannon as she began her new job.\u00a0 This transition has weighed heavily on her heart, but today went very well and I believe she\u2019s feeling better about her decision now.\u00a0 Either way, thank You for watching over her today and every day, and guiding her along this path.<\/p>\n
Mondays are generally busy days in my office Lord.\u00a0 And while it\u2019s wonderful from a business perspective to be inundated with work, days like today can hold my focus to the point of excluding other important activities from the list\u2026 like eating<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n I really meant to take a break and get some food today, but it just never happened.\u00a0 One project led into another until I looked at the clock and it was already after 4:00pm.\u00a0 Driving home, I had to pause for a few moments as I got a little light-headed\u2026 not a good sign for me.\u00a0 By the time I got to the house, I was tired, hungry, and even a bit on the grumpy side.<\/p>\n Very much like when I haven\u2019t talked to You in a while Father\u2026 Spiritually malnourished.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n With the crazy schedules we maintain these days, spending dedicated time with You can sometimes be slid aside by activities we feel<\/span><\/em><\/strong> are more pressing and immediate.\u00a0 The catch-22 is of course, that maintaining a tight personal relationship with You is just as vital to our well-being as is food to eat, or air to breathe.\u00a0 When we don\u2019t spend that \u201cmeal time\u201d<\/em> with You each day, we suffer as a whole.<\/p>\n Nourish me Father\u2026\u00a0 Feed my desperate spirit.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Heavenly Father, thank You for the Blessings You bestow on us each day.\u00a0 Please fill us with Your Presence, and sustain us through Your Word to lead the lives You Will for us.\u00a0 Amen.<\/p>\n ~Phather Phil<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear Lord; Happy Monday Father!
