Daily Prayer – September 24, 2014 by tommymcdearis God, why do some people seem unable to take the long view of life? Too many focus upon the problem before them as if that one issue damns all possibility for further goodness. Surrounded by possibilities, their focus becomes trained upon the one obstacle before them, as if that one issue poisons the all it touches, tainting the whole. I wish I understood why some can see nothing beyond the stumbling block before them. Teach us, Father, to stop being our own worst enemy. Remind us that happiness and success are partners that seldom unite to empower the negative pessimist. Since the beginning of time, people’s personal choices, actions or inactions have been their greatest nemesis. We humans sabotage ourselves by succumbing to our temptations, or by failing to see the forest for the trees. Deliver us from ourselves, Lord. Make us into people of vision whose minds sort the pothole from the chasm, so that we might have the life you have planned for us from our first breath. In Your Name we pray. Amen. “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; yes, I will help you ….” Isaiah 41:10
