God has definitely been working out His grace in my life this week. Again, I have been reading from Richard Foster’s Freedom of Simplicity where he points out what the first steps are to ”begin bringing the grace of the holy obedience into your life.” Of course, it is the desire to know God and walk with him!

 God put it on my heart today to write out this prayer and  make it a part of my very being:

   Lord, I ask that you increase the light of Christ in my life. I ask that the Shekinah, the glorious, radiant presence of Your Godness, which once filled the temple’s mercy-seat, fill my heart to overflowing. In every task of this day I seek to live in utter surrender, listening and obedient to Your will. I pray You will help me to make Holy Obedience a priority today. I ask that I would begin this very moment! 

   In Your Son’s Holy Name, Amen.
