Is God your A,B,C?

Hi Everyone.

This is a simple thought I had today, but I tend to have a lot of time to sit at the bookstore while I’m cashiering (too bad I can't do my homework) but anyway, I use that time to pray, or at least I try to. I was thinking today that there are just so many people and so many things to pray for, thank for, praise for…Then, I thought of this:

Try this: take the A, B, and C and write a prayer, you know like those poems you wrote in third grade. Here’s how mine went:

Lord, I

Ask that

By your grace, I may

Cherish all that you

Do for me.

Every time I call on you, your

Faithfulness shines through your

Goodness to me. I ask that you strengthen my

Hope

In you

Just by

Knowing you always are

Listening to

Me. Thank you for

New days with awesome

Opportunities, and a community of

People who are constantly

Running beside me, helping me to

Stand

Tall with

Understanding and assurance knowing you

Value me so much that

Wherever I go you are with me, and if I need that

X-tra help

You always provide and remain faithful through the

Zoo (okay you think of another word for "Z") we call life.

Amen (look where we ended up.... back at the beginning)

You could do it multiple times and have so many different prayers.

He truly is the alpha and the omega...

Now try this.

Write out the A, B, Cs and point to a letter, any letter, think of a person or a thing to either praise, ask or thank God for, or (all of the above). Now, point to another letter and do the same thing, continue on. It’s amazing the different people and things you can think of when you do this. I thought of kids from high school that I totally had forgotten about that I was able to remember and pray for. I also just thought of random good things that are a total blessing from God that I forget to thank Him for. It kind of makes the prayer time a little more interesting.
By doing this I not only got to pray for so many different people and things, but I also realized that God is truly the all in all, even in the alphabet. I hope next time you sing the A, B, Cs (which may be a while, but it will happen) you think of God and how He is in all good things. He truly is the alpha and the omega, my A-Z!

Cheering you all on as you run your race with our Alpha and Omega.

May He fill your days with blessings from every letter of the alphabet.
