At times I am tempted to pull in my horns and accept a calm & ordinary life; but the words that thou dost highlight for me from thy Holy Scriptures don\u2019t speak to me of such a life. Rather they speak of a life of big dreams, of large vision, of a life lived under the direction of the God who knows no failure. I am feeling motivated to a life of activity and strength that will be an honor to thy holy name.<br>  Oh dear Abba, help me to speak well of thee this day and all days forward. Help me to hear thy word behind me saying \u201cThis is the way; walk ye in it.\u201d Grant, O Father, the hearing ear and the seeing eye \u2013 and that above my fellows. Help me to be not ordinary or run-of-the-mill. Like Daniel and Joseph I give thee permission to enter the citadel of my mind and to take complete control. All to Jesus I surrender, all to Him I freely give. Here am I, Lord.
