Full to the Brim Acrostic
Don’t be anxious about anything; rather, bring up all of your requests to God in your prayers and petitions, along with giving thanks. Then the peace of God that exceeds all understanding will keep your hearts and minds safe in Christ Jesus. – Philippians 4:6-7
Fearfully facing my inner-faith journey, I sometimes feel
Unwilling to dig under the surface of what my
Life as a Christian means. Lent is the perfect time to
Lean into the task with love, to learn from the Lord.
Thankfulness is a first step, taking the time to look at
Our lives, for areas of blessings that often go unnoticed.
The act of creating a daily “Thanks Journal” has been
Helpful to me. It helps to open my heart, head, and
Eyes to see every good thing in my life, and to give God thanks.
Being in the mindset of gratitude, focuses me and allows me to
Reflect more deeply, and to reach out to others,
In love and with more compassion. I inevitably find that
My life is indeed, “FULL TO THE BRIM!” Praise God!
Holy Lord, please give me the will and persistence to take regular, honest assessments of my life and to document them within the lens of thanksgiving, that I may be fully aware of Your constancy and love. In Your son Jesus’ name. Amen
