As I spent time in prayer this evening, and later talking to the confessor, it hit me hard that for quite sometime now, I've been thinking and trying to see what is it that I can do; that I need to do. All this while, it never occured to me to think, what is it that the Lord wants me to do.
I think what triggered this insight was what the preacher said about holiness. He said, "We want to be holy. We strive our best to be holy. But we forget that it is God who makes us holy." Though not very convinced of that one-sided affair of God making me holy while I sit there doing nothing. I also realised that doing things without Him, is equally empty. Holiness is His grace and I have to respond. Be aware. Accept. Be grateful for. And build it up/share it around.
So this evening's prayer: Lord, help me know what is it that you want me to do.
