PRAYER
God, we are grateful that you have given to us instructions for living right. We don't have to make it up as we go. Although, I confess that at times I'm all about making things up as I establish my own course. Continue to remind me of your expectations -- especially when I get distracted from them. I'm not going to get discouraged by my failure but I'm going to keep the goal in sight and trust you to work things out. Amen.
