PERSEVERANCE

I get up every morning and I thank God for another day. He has blessed me each and every day to feel good in my body. I haven't had a Lupus flare since I have been diagnosed with Lupus. I don't take for granted what God has done in my life. I cook, go on walks, exercise, do physical therapy and I don't complain. God has given me the strength, endurance and perserverance to do things day by day. Every day I remember that I can do all things through Christ who gives me the strength and the ability to do things.

Prayer for the Day
Dear Heavenly Father, we bless you today. Thank you for the wonderful favor you give us when we are serving You and your causes. You have made a way many times for us when there was not a way to take care of something in the natural. I am grateful for the gifts You have given us. May we always use them to bless those that You send us to. Lord, keep us from the temptation to use money as a means of manipulation, but rather let us use our money to bless and help others with. Lord, may we also never be guilty of using the spiritual gifts you give us to manipulate others or for self gain. Forgive Your ministers that have succumbed to this and deliver them and change their hearts. Purify our hearts and motives Lord, that we might bring glory to You and never any reproach. I ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
