Formula for Failure: Try to please everybody

I can't give you a surefire formula for success, but I can give you a formula for failure: try to please everybody all the time. Herbert Byard Swope, first recipient of the Pulitizer Prize.

Dear Lord,  I thank you for this day. I thank You for my being able to see and to hear this morning.. I'm blessed because You are a forgiving God and an understanding God. You have done so much for me and You keep on blessing me. Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said or thought that was not pleasing to you. I ask now for Your forgiveness. > > > Please keep me safe from all danger and harm. Help me to start this day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude. Let me make the best of each day to clear my mind so that I can hear from You. > > Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control over. Let me continue to see sin through God's eyes and acknowledge it as evil. And when I sin, let me repent, and confess with my mouth my wrongdoing, and receive the forgiveness of God. > > And when this world closes in on me, let me remember Jesus' example -- to slip away and find a quiet place to pray. It's the best response when I'm pushed beyond my limits. I know that when I can't pray, You listen to my heart. Continue to use me to do Your will. > > Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others.. Keep me strong that I may help the weak.. Keep me uplifted that I may have words of encouragement for others. I pray for those who are lost and can't find their way. I pray for those who are misjudged and misunderstood. I pray for those who don't know You intimately. I pray for those who will delete this without sharing it with others. I pray for those who don't believe. But I thank you that I believe. > > I believe that God changes people and God changes things. I pray for all my sisters and brothers. For every family member in their households. I pray for peace, love and joy in their homes that they are out of debt and all their needs are met. > > I pray that every eye that reads this knows there is no problem, circumstance, or situation greater than God. Every battle is in Your hands for You to fight.   I pray that these words be received into the hearts of every eye that sees them and every mouth that confesses them willingly.. > > This is my prayer. > In Jesus' Name, > > Amen.. > > Pass this message to 9 people except you and me   (You can send it to more than 9 people if you would like, I did). > > > Don't ignore and God will bless you.. Know that you are already blessed by the person who sent this to you... > > DON'T FORGET TO CHANGE THE NUMBER IN THE SUBJECT BOX > > > > > --- > > > > > > > > > >   > > > > > >  > >

Peace comes from within. Do

Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.
