SIX

Dear God, Let me be content with who I am, what I have, and where you are leading me. Help me to have a mindset of confidence, courage, and thankfulness all day long. Amen

A mindset of confidence, courage, and thankfulness all day long. Sometimes it's hard to have that mindset for an hour let alone all day. 

Let me be content. Some days that is harder than anything else. I was taught to strive forward, to accomplish things. I have found places where being content is easier. The easiest place for me to be content is outside. 

I can sit in a place and listen. I can do it in the city but it's easier for me if I'm in some green space. I think it has to do with being connected to the earth. I'm better on dirt than on cement. I know it's different for others. I have a friend that is most content inside a church, especially if there is a cross to focus on. I have another that connects with fire, just a candle flame is enough but an outdoor fire is his favorite. 

There are some things happening today that will keep me inside so I am choosing to try focusing on a feather. When I can, I'll step outside, but while I'm  inside hopefully it will remind me to be focused on confidence, courage, and thankfulness.

Confidence that the best possible outcomes are being pursued. 

Courage that I am doing what I can and so are many others.

Thankfulness for all of those doing and praying for things to unfold in the best way possible.
