Lenten Confessions 2013 #11

Lenten Confessions:

On my way to work I was listening to the local morning radio talkshow. The news tidbit was about things that annoy your coworkers. They listed about a dozen items that are considered to be the most common annoyances. I found myself being a perpetrator of most items at some time or another. Sometimes I'm aware of my actions either during or shortly after the fact. Other times I'm clueless. I'm an imperfect person in an imperfect world who happens to stray from the path on my journey with God.

So today I prayed for guidance. I asked God to help me be a better person, to lead me on the straight path. I need to be aware of my actions before they annoy or offend. And today, by the grace of God, my prayers were answered. Today was a good day, but tomorrow is another challenge. God is not testing me but rather trusting me to use my freewill to do things right. Remember to pray everyday. You might be surprised by the outcome.

May the grace of God be received by all.
