(#5300! Thanks for sticking with me as a Karen's Korner reader! If you are a relatively new reader - welcome! And enjoy!

Taken from '365 Days of Prayer for Women" by Stephanie Sample, for today:

GENTLENESS THAT DEFIES

"Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities,
to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good,
to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate,
and always to be gentle toward everyone."

~ Titus 3:1 - 2 NIV

"Gentle Father, your patience and tenderness are so much more than I deserve. I know you wish me to behave with the gentleness you show to me. I want that too, and when everything is going well, my responses are often tender and understanding. When the pressure is on, though, I can be short-tempered, impatient, and harsh at times. Show me this tendency as soon as it awakes, Lord, so I can call upon your gentle Spirit to respond on my behalf. Fill me with a gentleness that defies my circumstances, so I can reflect your loving attitude no matter what comes my way."

"How did we experience God's gentleness today?"

Today's prayer really inspired me! I have already thanked a couple of people who are in leadership for their efforts. And I want to do more the rest of the day!
