Around here we quick-write for five minutes on Fridays--unedited, uninhibited, unpolished:
Opportunity?
Gulp.
It's been such a busy week that I had not really had time to think about the opportunity that has dropped in my lap.
I wanted it. I asked for it. Now I am terrified because of it.
I am terrified that I will not live up to my expectations for the task. I am terrified that I will not live up to anyone else's expectations for the task.
I am worried sick about it--worried enough to pray about it.
Oh, yes. That is where I should have started.
Pray.
Lead me, Lord, in Your Name.
Direct me, Lord, that whatever I do be to Your Glory.
Humble me, Lord--well, I am quaking in my proverbial boots; job accomplished.
Teach me, Lord, what You would have me learn from this opportunity and to do this opportunity.
Thank you, Lord, for this opportunity. May I glorify You so that those affected by my actions may be drawn closer to you.
Grant me peace, Lord.
Grant me joy, Lord.
Grant me wisdom, Lord, that everything I do be
In Your Name and for Your Glory.
Thank you, Lord.

I feel for you. I have the opportunity to do something tomorrow, something I really want to do, and I don't know if I should.
ReplyDeleteI hope it works out for you. I also have the opportunity to do something tomorrow, something I want to try out very much but don't know if I should.

ReplyDeleteI'm so enjoying Five Minute Friday! I love to hear other women say out loud what I've thought or felt. Thank you for this post.
