Daily Prayer for October 17th, 2007 

I pray that my work is in answer to someone’s prayers today, and that we both realize it

On a particularly difficult day a nurse prayed: ‘O God, where are you? Why don’t you send help?’ ‘I did,’ God replied, ‘I sent you. And as long as it takes, I will be with you whenever and wherever you honor human life.’

As a father of 4 teenagers I trust God sent me into the mess/noise/struggles/joys of teenage life.

Thanks for your words of encouragement

This reminds me of a story I read in the paper after the Tsunami in Indonesia and a vacationer there was quoted as saying, “Where are the Americans? They are taking forever to get here to save us.” And I thought, but you’re the American who is already there. Time to step up. I hope he finally came to that conclusion, too. God puts us places.

This message really spoke to me this morning. I strive to make the world a better place through my business. It is sometimes hard to recognize God’s hand in my work when he is so evidently present. Thank you for the reminder.

This makes me realize how important I am in the realization of other people’s careers. It also makes me think about the people that are important to the realization of my career.
