I enjoy reading “365 Days of Prayer for Women” by Stephanie Sample.

I don’t read it all the time, but when I do, I like it. This morning I was reading a few days of her writings. This one is for October 1, which is tomorrow.

Hope you like it too; if you want to read it on the ‘right day’, read it again tomorrow!

Lift my eyes heavenward when they stray too long on my possessions or my own body, God! Help me to be grateful for my home without turning it into an idol. Help me dedicate myself to my work without allowing it to consume me. Help me respect and care for my body without feeling like it defines me. Only you define me, and I want your love to be all that consumes me.”
