Prayer for today (8/15/15)

Jesus, I have been running, running, running, in all different directions, but I need to run to you now and stay in your presence. Father, I know you have blessed me abundantly in the family you have given me. Help me not to flaunt them or to take credit that belongs to you. Thank you for being God all by yourself. In Jesus name. Amen.
