52 Week of 52 : Week 20

June 10, 2020
Week 20

Psalm 16:2

I said to the Lord, “You are my Lord;

I have no good besides You.”  

In the past weeks

Well, let's just say since March 13 
when school closed

No, let's make it about July 1, 2019

as I began the journey of 

Superintendent

I have found myself praying 
about all things.
The simple
The mundane
I have become keenly aware
that in this position
I NEED help!

At some point on this journey I realized 

I was asking for things that I already have

He is my Lord and I already have all I need

because of Him.  

This thought 

This idea

This framework

has changed the way I pray

has changed my mindset

has brought me confidence in my prayer.

Not "give me strength"

But "help me tap into the strength you've given me"

Not "be with me today"

But "thank you for your presence during this time"

Not "give me peace"

But "help me to understand more deeply the peace I have in You"

This seems like just semantics

But honestly 

it has been a game changer

in the way I approach God

it reminds me that 

in Him 

I have all that I need.
