Time or eternity!  We’re living in this world's time and God's eternity!  

God made us in His image. We have a soul, an eternal spirit, as well as an earthly body.  

But God planned life for mankind - an eternal life - with Him - for those who choose to be His children, or without Him, if we so choose.

Having lived in this earthly body for 85 years, I’m kind of tired, and I’m looking forward to that time when I step over the doorway into a life with my Savior, my God.  But I’m finding out that He is not through with me yet.  For some reason I still feel a connection to this earth.  So, though I am tired, I believe there is still work to do.  My only question is, what work?

I’m capable of “thinking, smiling, helping (sort of) and talking“– though not always out loud.  My interaction with friends and strangers can be the work that God has set out for me. Possibly?   But my conversations with Him are more important, since they impact everything on this “time/place” we call life.  They impact my attitude, my interaction with others, my judgements and my “work” for Him.

So I pray because I’m tired.  I pray because I don’t know what I am capable of doing while my time on earth is now.  And I pray -  because sometimes I feel that I am of no use to God. Sometimes I feel empty, and that feeling is not so bad because

That empty place within my heart -
is waiting for a mission - one I’m capable to fill.
I pray dear God, 
please show me how I’m meant to do Your will.

My God, I leave control to You,
and in your strength abide.
Please help me do my best for You,
to see my life the way You do,
and place my helplessness aside.

Father, God, Almighty Friend.
I smile and know You hear my prayers
 for wisdom, strength, desire,
 to know and do your will. 

The young and fit - You “run” with them.
And you’re
”walking” 
with me still.

I pray that “the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him,”  Ephesians 1:17 (ESV) 

Love, Diane
