Make a short list of everyday changes or habits that will grow those aspects of my life. Meditate on these aspects of life and goals while I brush my teeth, drive to work, or exercise.<BR/><BR/>Thanking God for my job, the responsibility He has given me, and His guidance and strength. Not worrying that I won't meet my deadline or that I'll mess up the presentation, because God has given me the task, He knows I can do it, and He's there leading me. <BR/><BR/>Praying that God will provide the opportunity and words to have a conversation about how God is working in my life with a friend or coworker. <BR/><BR/>Praying that God will prove Himself my rock and comforter during this painful struggle, and not focus on the tragedy alone.<BR/><BR/>Being intentional about my words and listening to others instead of being self absorbed. Lord, you have placed me in this place at this exact time. Let your love and creativity shine through me. May you speak through me, so that those around me may be built up and encouraged. May I speak the truth in love.<BR/><BR/>Remember that I'm living and working for God<BR/>Keep the lines of communication open; always praying and listening<BR/>Renew my mind with the Word<BR/>Be a good steward of my time, money, and health<BR/>Invest in relationshipsChristine Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11567288255856274023noreply@blogger.com
