  Let the first act on waking be to place yourself,
  your heart, mind, faculties,
  your whole being, in God’s hands.
  Ask Him to take entire possession of you,
  to be the Guide of your soul, your Life, your Wisdom, your Strength.
  He wills that we seek him in all our needs, that we may both know Him truly,
  and draw closer and closer to Him;
  and in prayer we gain an invisible force which will triumph over seemingly hopeless difficulties.

  Nothing can separate you from God’s love, absolutely nothing.
  God is enough for time, God is enough for eternity. God is enough!

  I think that one reason many of us do not really take into the marrow of our bones
  this message of the unconditional love of God is this:
  We dwell excessively on ourselves and on our mistakes.
  And so we keep asking, ‘Who am I that the Lord should love me?’
  Instead we ought to be asking,
  ‘Who are you, O my God, that you love me so much?’
  The Lord knows and accepts that we humans are mistake-makers.
  ~ John Powell ~
  
  
  Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
  faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
  To these I commit my day.
  If I succeed, I will give thanks.
  If I fail, I will seek his grace.
  And then when this day is done,
  I will place my head on my pillow and rest.
