Not long ago, I woke up with seven words on my mind…More of You Lord, less of me.
I knew it had to do with the way I’d felt when I went to bed the night before. Frustrated with emotions that I’d buried months ago, and were now coming back to the surface. Feelings I could either bury again, or would have to deal with now.
Neither choice looked appealing, but those words kept running through my mind like a ticker tape reminder…More of You Lord, less of me.
That reminder became my prayer over and over throughout the day because I know that when I don’t have it in me to deal with something, God does.
When I struggle to forgive…
More of You Lord, less of me.
When I don’t understand and don’t know which way to go…
More of You Lord, less of me.
When I can’t change my circumstances or someone else’s actions…
More of You Lord, less of me.
When I feel lost and lonely…
More of You Lord, less of me.
When my emotions are going to overtake me…
More of You Lord, less of me.
So often I forget this, trying to deal with things on my own.
But the truth is, every day, in every situation, I need more of Him and less of me.

Timely piece, Laura. Well done. These seven words rank right up there with the “last seven.”
Thank you Chip. ☺
