Your Talent

“Your talent is God's gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God.” (Leo Buscaglia)

Dearest Precious Heavenly Father,

We’ve known each other for a very long time. Like my good friend, Charlotte Massey, you knew me before I was born. There are so many wonderful and challenging qualities you created me with. All of those ingredients together have made me into this version of your child that you dearly love. I’ve been both obedient (and ignored) those times I’ve clearly heard your voice calling me to service.  Things always tend to work out better when I do them Your way.

You know I have often question if our blog, ENCOURAGE ME, was something you really wanted for me, or did I make up the desire to do it in my overactive imagination. I know I heard your call to give my unique voice on this electronic platform. I’ve helped others, and never yet have you told me to stop using my passion of writing (and blogging) for Your kingdom.

God, there are those times when I feel I have made so little progress in my relationship with You.  The challenges seem to be mounting daily. I feel stuck  at times with what I need to do spiritually. Please make it easier for me to think and do the right thing. I desire You to be proud of who I am. I want to always keep You first. Your will needs to be in front of my life’s path like a blazing light.

You know how much my mouth and curiosity can get me in trouble. If I’m not saying the wrong thing , then I’m asking questions about things that are none of my business. Help me not to be a source of gossip. Please keep both my mouth under Your control. Can you make Your presence known to me more often? There’s nothing better than that. I love you.

Your Child,

Robert

“We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.” (Mother Teresa)
