Hello Jesus,

My King above all kings. I come before You while waiting for more things to do at the church. I wanted to escape and be with You. I'm not technically alone, but I'm going to guard my mind to spend time with You. I'm going to take this time to sober up. Not that my mind is drunk, not really.

But I want to protect myself. I have some critiques about myself so far today. On the way here, there was a man (well, there was multiple people outside today, begging) who stood in the road with a sign. He crossed over to pack up, he was by my window. I had money in my bag, but I didn't do anything. Why? I was worried I wouldn't have enough time to get it out of the envelope I had planned to give a friend to pay for rides he's given me. Also, selfishly, I was worried about what my dad would say. I'm ashamed. Especially because I prayed last night for an opportunity to show humility. And it came back to me in the moment, that's the answer to my prayer. And I passed it up. I apologize Lord. Forgive me for not serving.

Here, I was worried I wasn't doing anything really. I cleaned and helped out a bit. But I'm worried myself is in danger for being motivated for wrong reasons. Thinking things that shouldn't be preoccupying my mind right now.

Lord, I pray right now for a serving heart. Help humble me. Help me to not seek the eyes of others. To not seek the company of certain people. Help me to finish out my day with a humble and grateful and joyful heart. Lord Jesus, let me shine like You. Please let me be like You in this moment and every after.

Help me serve like Jesus.
