Lord, you know better than I know myself that I am growing older and will someday be old. Keep me from getting talkative, particularly from the fatal habit of thinking that I must say something on every subject and on every occasion. Release me from craving to straighten out everybody’s affairs. Make me thoughtful, but not moody; helpful, but not bossy. With my vast store of wisdom it seems a pity not to use it all, but you know, Lord, that I want a few friends at the end. Keep my mind from the recital of endless details—give me wings to come to the point. I ask for grace enough to listen to the tales of others’ pains. Seal my lips on my own aches and pains—they are increasing, and my love of rehearsing them is becoming sweeter as the years go by. Help me to endure them with patience. I dare not ask for improved memory, but for a growing humility and a lessening cocksureness when my memory seems to clash with the memories of others. Teach me the glorious lesson that occasionally it is possible that I may be mistaken. Keep me reasonably sweet. I do not want to be a saint—some of them are so hard to live with—but a sour old woman is one of the crowning works of the devil. Give me the ability to see good things in unexpected places, and talents in unexpected people. And give me, O Lord, the grace to tell them so.

Lazarus Awakening: Finding Your Place in the Heart of God Quotes

I’m trying to learn that in my Christian walk as well. If I’ll move to the beat of the Spirit and relinquish control of my life to Him, I’ll be able to dance to the music God has playing in His head rather than movin’ and agroovin’ to the catchy little tunes I’ve got going in my own. For when I allow the Lord to provide the accompaniment to my life, I discover a richly layered soundtrack more beautiful than anything I could compose myself. But following God’s beat, dancing to His rhythm, trusting in His sovereignty—all that can be hard for a rhythmically challenged, control-loving person like me. Because when it comes right down to it, I’m a headstrong little girl who wants her own way in pretty much every area of life. Fortunately, I have a Father who loves me in spite of that. But while He loves me as I am, He also loves me too much to leave me that way. So He insists I follow His lead in order to “grow up” in my salvation (1 Peter 2:2). Becoming more like Jesus and less like me.

Lazarus Awakening: Finding Your Place in the Heart of God Quotes

Putting our earthly nature to death isn’t something we can do apart from God. It isn’t meant to be a renovation we attempt on our own or a charade we play at until it becomes reality. Believe me, I’ve tried it that way, and it just doesn’t work. And yet, while the Holy Spirit wants to help us, we must initiate the act. For in a very real sense, only we can choose to die.

missed that point for a long time. I had spent so much of my life concentrating on the “fruit” of my own personal holiness, that I missed out on the connection, the sweet intimacy of being attached to the Vine.

Do good, do good,” the broken branch chants as it lies on the orchard grass. “That apple should be popping out anytime,” says the helpless, lifeless stick.
