Much ado about nothing much...

This morning early in my prayer time, I distinctively heard, “You don’t OWN the road anymore!” I was like, “Okay, where did that come from?” Then later while still in prayer, I heard the same phrase again, “You don’t own the road, ANYMORE!” I do not know what it meant, but I felt led to work from my home office today rather than commuting to my office in Birmingham.

While having Bible study, I was drawn to the scripture “Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip,” II Samuel 37. A dear friend at church yesterday had asked if she could pray for me. I’m always for that! She felt led to pray over my feet asking God to guide my steps. When I checked my email “Today’s Prayer” was waiting to be discovered in my inbox. It read as follows:

Dear Lord, Thank you for this day. Thank You for my being able to see, to hear, to speak, to move about this morning. I'm blessed because You are a forgiving and understanding God. You have done so much for me. I have witnessed Your hand of blessing, Your miraculous power in my my life and the lives of those I love, and You just keep on blessing me. Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said or thought that was not pleasing to You. I ask now for Your forgiveness. Please keep me, my family, and my church family safe from all danger and harm. Help me to start this day with a positive and Christ-focused attitude and plenty of gratitude. Please clear my mind of distractions so that I can hear from you and please direct my steps today. Thank you so much, in Jesus' name, amen.

I thank God that He is directing my steps, and pray that He would continue to do so using me to direct others toward Him.
