I read this quote tonight while I was up late, working, again.

"I have been driven many times upon my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go.  My own wisdom, and that of all about me, seemed insufficient for the day.: - Abraham Lincoln.

Thank you for the reminder, Lord.  I really an insufficient.  There is so much I want to do, and that I want to do better.  I want to be a better mother, wife, daughter, Christ follower.  I want to love my husband better, keep house better, educate my children better, run my business better.  I want to follow Christ with a fervor that would make the angels stand up and applaud.  I want to do all these things, I really do.  Lord, if You can just show me how. 

Thank You for the reminder that I cannot and will not have the wisdom and ability to do all these things without Your grace and blessings.  Thank You, Lord, that You love me even when I make mistakes.  You love me when I forget my priorities.  You love me when I forget to mail the check on time, or forget the phone call.  You love me when I let the kids get away with too much, or when I am too harsh.  You love me when I am lazy and when I am dilligent.  I know it is best when I strive to do well, but thank You for loving me even when I am selfish and follow my own agenda.  Thank You, Lord. 

Right now, Lord, tonight I am coming to say I admit I have noplace else to go.  I am at the end of my capabilities and need to lean upon You.  You have all the wisdom I could possibly need and can lead me.  Help me to be like a sheep, always following You, always trusting You, always walking in simple humility with perfect faith in You.
