Here is my daily prayer for 2007. I borrowed heavily from last year, hoping to continue a regular posture of dependence, gratitude and wisdom.

Dear Lord, help me TODAY as I…

• Express gratefulness, the foremost quality of a trusting disciple

• Pursue the ideas that require faith and fear to go head-to-head
• Determine what I can eliminate from my to-do list
• Ask, “Is this sustainable?”
• Learn to discern between busy-ness and fruitfulness
• Encourage others in their strengths
• Respect and honor Jamaica, never getting too familiar with her
• Find evidences of grace in Jamaica
• Learn to be where I am, not where I am not
• Learn to rest and relax

Abba, I surrender my will and my life to you today, without reservation and with humble confidence, for you are my loving Father. Set me free from self-consciousness, from anxiety about tomorrow, and from the tyranny of the approval and disapproval of others, that I may find joy and delight simply and solely in pleasing you. I realize that every hunger that entices me in the flesh is an exploitation of a need that can be better met by you. So Jesus, I trust you. May my inner freedom be a compelling sign of your presence, your peace, your power, and your love. Let your plan for my life gracefully unfold one day at a time. I love you with all my heart, and I place all my confidence in you.
