Crying out to the man above
I believe in miracles
But a miracle you can't control ....
I believe in answered prayers
But the answers are found everywhere ..."
Sarah Blasko, 'Down on Love', 2009
I have two 'mantras' that I try and remember to repeat every day (the key word in this sentence is 'try'). I was reminded of these when one was repeated during the sermon on Sunday ... shortly after which the car once again decided to stop working. I took that as yet another hint that God wants me to pray (breaking down literally in the church car park was about as subtle as a brick) - either that or He doesn't want me to buy any more Malaysian cars/wants me to farewell my Proton for a far better option. So I decided to use part of the hours I spent in the car park writing down a prayer list for 2011, something that I'm hoping will be a New Years resolution I start early (like this blog).
Anyway ... the mantras!
- 'Not my will but yours' - something that stuck in my head from a sermon a few years ago
- 'Man cannot live on bread alone' - from Deuteronomy 8:3 and repeated by Jesus in Matthew 4:4. Reminds me of where my true sustenance comes from ... both in general and particularly as I head off to earn my income from, and directly and incremently increase the profits of, the largest bread manufacturer in the country.
What are your mantras?
