Lord,

I just want my life to be simple.

No stress over things I cannot control.

No wishing or waiting.

I want my pulse and my heartbeat to be low because I am relaxed.

Thank you, Lord, for giving me this.

I knew that I screw things up because of my doing.

I deserve what I get.

Now I want to relax and be creative and whoever wants to take a higher position, more responsibilities, and additional stress can have it.

Please for me for my sins!

I ask for your blessings and Your permission to do the above.

In Jesus name

Amen

Today is our 35th wedding anniversary!

Dear God,

Thank you for the devotion and the verse today, Isaiah 5:18!

I need to get rid of the baggage that is following me.

My Lord, I give it all to you!!

Jesus has died for our sins!

Please forgive me for my sins.

I pray for Your blessings on our anniversary and that many more years will come.

I pray for Your blessings on this upcoming trip and that a lot will get accomplished and it will be short.

I also pray for Your blessing for my family and others I am forgetting.

I also pray that I can finish the article, book, and taxes with Your will and blessings.

I pray for all this!!

Amen!!

I need to take each moment that God gives me and enjoy it.

It is very important to cherish each present moment and live it.

Thinking about the future or worrying, or feeling guilty about the past doesn’t help.

Do things that you want to do because you enjoy it.

Not because it may make you rich or famous.

It doesn’t help.

Please forgive me for my sins God.

I pray for your blessing on the above!

In Jesus’ name!

Amen

Today is my granddaughter’s birthday!!

Happy 4th birthday!!

Today is the day that I stop thinking that I am going to be a boss somewhere.

Better yet, today is the day when I stop thinking that someone is going to give me a position as “boss” because of my degree.

I know I have to earn it!!

I want to be a professional writer!!

I would like to write books and articles.

I need to finish the book that I am working on.

Being a technical writer is helping me a lot, but I want to go further!!

The first steps are to make time to write and base my schedule on my writing.

Time to get busy!!

My Heavenly Father,

Please forgive me for not praying to You or writing in this journal.

I must stop taking on so many things and leave it to You.

Please take everything on!!

I am only concentrating on these things: God, Family, and Book

I pray for Your blessings on this.

Please run my life!!

In Jesus name

Amen

My Heavenly Father!!

I quit!!

I surrender!!

Love,

Your Child,

David
