On my heart. ♥

One of the many lovely book that I got for my Birthday was a book titled Praying God's Will on your life by Stormie Omartian. I am really enjoying reading it and applying it to my life. It is very fitting to everything that I am going through just now. So it is very encouraging to have a book that can guide my prayers. I often struggle to hand everything over to God and it is often the last thing that I do in a situation. I am slowly learning to look to God in every situation as He is the only one who has control over every aspect of my life. At the end of each chapter there is a prayer. This was today's prayer:

God I acknowledge You as Lord over every are of my life this day. Help me walk in Your perfect will in all that I do and everything that I say.

I am always aware of trying to be a good witness, and find this difficult at times. It is much easier to go join in with everything that is going on around you but MUCH harder to not join in. I carry a card round with me in my purse that I got from my lovely American family.

The GROW Principle.
G: Does it glorify God? (1 Cor.10:31)
R: Is it right? (2 Cor. 8:21)
O: Is an act of obedience involved? (John 14:21)
W: Does it violate my witness? (1 Peter. 2:11-12)

I have looked at this card SO often that it is now instilled in me. When I am making any decisions, big or small, I always come back to this. It has really helped and guided me through the years. I have Tim and Margie to thank for this. I have them to thank for a lot of things, I don't even know where to start. I might have to save this for another blog.
Well, I just wanted to share with you what was on my heart right now. Time for bed.
