I have been having difficulty motivating myself to do ANY yard work. I have the following from Heartlight printed and posted in my cubicle at work. I am going to print in for home as well.
To my shame, I need to acknowledge the attitude of laziness with regard to my yard. I had e-mailed the following request to my small group and would request prayers from you as well.
This will sound like a silly request; however,
will you pray for me in my perseverance in yard work and that God gives me
delight in it. Currently, it is the VERY last thing I want to do EVER and
I need the Lord’s strength and life-changing touch for this attitude
adjustment.
I appreciate your prayers very, very much!
Today's
Verse for 10/18/2012
If a man is lazy, the rafters sag;
if his hands are idle, the house leaks. — Ecclesiastes
10:18
Thought
Laziness
is not just an attitude, it is a lack of action. It is a choice to let
important matters suffer neglect. While the results of this choice may not
always be evident, over the passage of time, the basic results of idleness are
borne out by the accumulating signs of decay and destruction.
Prayer
Stir in
me, dear Heavenly Father, a passion to do what is true and good and righteous.
Convict my heart when I neglect what is important. Please help me discern the
difference between laziness and a genuine need for rest and to balance my life
between my many responsibilities. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.The Thoughts and Prayers for Today's Verse are written by Phil Ware. You can email questions or comments to phil@heartlight.org.
