Reset and Refocus

I have to admit, recent discouragements in my personal and professional life have weighed me down.

I don't if this culminated in what I think I had as I slept last night. I think I had a nightmare (in the vernacular bangunot) but I can't confirm that because no one was near me when I sleep. I also close the door of my room so no one could hear me.

It was a horrible dream but I don't remember much of it anymore. All I can remember is it was about Death, as in the grim repo man.

So what is that telling me? I really don't know because I'm really not into interpreting dreams.

But if I apply the Law of Attraction, I must have attracted that nightmare because of what I'm currently thinking. And I have to admit, I'm not thinking good thoughts lately precisely because of the setbacks I have been encountering.

So somehow, I have to find my way out of this spiraling thought pattern. I have to reset and refocus.

That's probably what my supposed nightmare is telling me. At least, that is what I think it's telling me.

But even if it was, I'm still grateful I woke up today.

Side Prayers

PRAYER FOR GENEROSITY
Lord Jesus,
Teach me to be generous,
Teach me to serve You as You deserve
To give and not to count the cost,
To fight and not to heed the wounds,
To toil and not to seek for rest,
To labor and not to ask for reward,
except that of knowing
That I do Your Holy Will. Amen

THE LAWYER'S PRAYER
May every word I speak be from Your Truth...
I ask come from Your Wisdom...
May every case I handle receive Your Guidance...
May every heart, every life I touch, feel Your Love.

THE JABEZ PRAYER
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,
"Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your Hand be with me,
that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain."

So God granted him what he requested.
