My Place in His Plans

When I get very busy and life gets frantic, I tend to neglect my posts to the blog. The Home Page posts are not that important to me. Nor is the Craft post. I love doing them, but the one I truly hate to neglect is this Prayer Power post. When I realize the next day that I did not post, I realize why I felt something was missing from my life.

These posts help me to connect with God. When I sit to do one of these, I must forget the rest of the world and concentrate on the spiritual side of life. Oh, it's true that most of the posts are about real life, so when I say I forget the rest of the world, I mean it in a different way, on a different level.

They do not take long to write, but they make an impact on my attitude. In fact, knowing I thought I was too busy to write for three or four days bothers me, now that I think about it. You have no idea how many times these last few days I have called on God for help. And he has helped me, one way or another. He was never too busy for me. So who am I to dare to assume I am too busy to devote a few minutes a day to thinking about him?

It's not just thinking about him when I post. I think also about how I accept other people, or how I affect other people. Did I do what the Lord expected of me today? Could I have done more to help someone in need? Did I thank someone who helped me when I was in need? All these things run through my mind. But today, the one that bothers me the most is that I dared to think I was too busy to think about my place in his plans, about his place in my life.

Father, forgive my arrogance and fill me with the grace of humility and a sense of my place in your eternal plans.
