Luke 1:49
…the Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is His Name.
------------------------------------------------------
In our life, we tend to expect more from someone or something good based on first impressions.
We would befriend fair-complexioned person because he would be rich.
Men would be better managers than ladies.
Marry a handsome guy or a lovely woman.
In the end, when our choice fails to meet our expectations, we become disappointed, disgusted, with that person or thing. But in reality, we become frustrated with ourselves.
Almighty Father, teach me to be contented for all the great things you have done for me.
We are all your lowly servant, and we should all rejoice for just a mere mention of your name.
Teach me to appreciate everything and everyone that You have given and provided me. Moreover, if anything does not go well – based on how I look at it, and not based on what You want – teach me to trust in You, for You are a faithful God.
You have done so much great things for us, Oh Lord. May we always recognize that as we await the celebration of the birth of Your Son.
Let us pray +
Almighty Father, our trust is in You, forever. Grant us the patience and the ability to accept the consequences of our choices. May we forever be grateful for all the blessings that You have given us. May we see true beauty in everything we have and everyone we love, for they are part of the plan You have laid out for each of us.
My heart exults in the Lord, my Savior.
