Words of Jesus

"Sacrifices and offerings thou hast not desired, but a body hast thou prepared for me; in burnt offerings and sin offerings thou hast taken no pleasure. Then I said, `Lo, I have come to do thy will, O God, 'as it is written of me in the roll of the book."

Hebrews 10:5-7

When the Lord knows that good health is necessary for our soul's welfare, He sends it to us; and when we need sickness, He sends that too. Sickness makes us discover who we are.

— St. Theresa of Avila

Abba, Father, Lord God, today once again I feel the power of Your Words. For weeks I fight of sickness to the point of regret and doubt, then I see in Your Words the errors of my ways and once again You convict and remind me that all is according to Your will and that even when I think I seek Your will I do not let Your will be and grow within me. Simply put as I look back I see that I remove myself from the moment with You and try to place myself where I think or feel I should be rather that embrace where You my Lord God have placed me. So today I start in this time with You so that I may be filled with Your Words, the teaching of Jesus, and the presence of the Spirit, so that tonight when lay down to close my eyes I can look back and know I walked every step in Your presence, that moment when all I am and all I do is with and because of You being in that moment with me. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
