Me:  What are you doing today Prodigal?

Prodigal:  I am trying to focus on what the Lord would have me to focus on.

Me:  Maybe I can help.

 

This comes from the book Beyond Our Selves by Catherine Marshall

 

Crisis brings us face to face with our inadequacy and our inadequacy in turn leads us to the inexhaustible sufficiency of God.  This is the power of helplessness, a principle written into the fabric of life.

 

Lord I am humbled right now because I have no idea how to move forward with  your direction and your life given love.  I am lost and I am needy.  Please guide me and do not leave me to myself.

 

1 Corinthians 15:58

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
