Another Thank You, and I’m Sorry

Dear Lord; Well Father, the wedding on Saturday went very well.  Thank You so much for being there and Blessing the joyful proceedings.  It was an amazing honor for me to be a conduit for Your Love, and I absolutely felt Your Presence throughout.  Please continue to Bless the happy couple’s marriage, and fill their lives with Your Love for the rest of their days.

This morning Lord, I did something I very seldom do… I lost my temper.  It was over a verbal personal attack that was made against me behind my back by someone I’ve known for a long time, and it absolutely incensed me.  Father, with Your help I do what I consider a very good job at maintaining my composure and “turning the other cheek”, but I’m ashamed to say that this morning I failed in that capacity.  Searching for my center in Your Book today, I found :

Proverbs 16:32 – Better a patient man than a warrior, a man who controls his temper than one who takes a city.

So true Lord.  Please Father, help me purge those feelings from my spirit and focus my energies on serving Your Will.  Fill my heart with Your Love and Kindness, and please help me be an effective agent of Your Disposition to those in need.  Amen.  ~Phather Phil
