“One morning I remember pulling out a small card and threading it through my typewriter. Among the words that I typed [...] were these: “The simple secret is this: put your trust in the Lord, do your best, then leave the rest to Him.”

“The simple secret is this: put your trust in the Lord, do your best, then leave the rest to Him.”

“Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,for I have put my trust in you.Show me the way I should go,for to you I lift up my soul.Rescue me from my enemies, O LORD,for I hide myself in you.Teach me to do your will,for you are my God;may your good Spiritlead me on level ground. -Psalm 143:8-10, NIV”

“Today Lord I am going to do my best with Your help and for Your glory. I realize that there are many different people in the world with a variety of opinions and expectations. I will concentrate on being a God-pleaser and not a self-pleaser or man-pleaser. The rest I leave in Your hands lord. Grant me favor with You and with men and continue transforming me into the image of Your dear Son. Thank You Lord.”

“I turned to leave and paused before the gap in the ruined wall. "One last thing, Your Majesty. I'd like a name I can put into my report, something shorter than typing out 'The Leader of the Southern Shapechanger Faction.' What should I call you?""Lord."I rolled my eyes.He shrugged. "It's short.”
