PRAYER
Power and might are in your hand, Lord. I'm grateful I don't have to carry that kind of responsibility. Forgive me for acting like the world revolves around me and my opinion. Show me how to be content and to find meaning in the place where I'm currently stationed. I know you haven't forgotten me and that you will give me appropriate recognition at just the right time. Amen.
