Katie's prayer: Jackie Francois' "Your Will"

Put your hand on my shoulder
And let me know you are near
Take my hand in yours, Lord
And lead me to your will

On the way back yo Kansas City today, i popped in a lighthouse cd. I'm learning that listening to those make the drive go by a lot faster than listening to just music.
Today's talk was "The 7 deadly sins and the 7 lively virtues." Awesome talk giving me lots to think about. Made me come away feeling like a huge sinner! I've always known I was a sinner, but, I didn't think I was that bad...until today.
I think the biggest thing I pulled away from the talk didn't actually hit me until I switched over to music. This song was the first one I listened to. As I was listening to it, I realized something. One of the overarching themes in the talk was figuring out God's plan for your life and following it. It came up multiple times, but didn't really strike me as the most important thing until this song.

I think I've done a pretty good job of following God's plan so far. Granted, there have been times that I failed, but who hasn't? I think my biggest struggle now is not actually asking God what his plan for me is. It was easy when I was still in college and had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. God and I talked everyday about His plan and my frustration for not knowing it yet. But now, I've got a good job that I love, got a pretty great boyfriend, life is just kinda moving along and I'm falling into this trap that it's ok. Sloth, one of those lovely deadly sins. Just because God doesn't have any big life changing plans for me (or at least, I don't think He does) doesn't mean I should stop pursuing God's will for my life.

Dear Jesus,
I'm sorry I allowed myself to become pretty slothful. I'm going to try to fix that, with Your help of course! So just let me know what You want me to do. Here I am. Waiting for You.
Amen.
