Imagine when you start a meeting, everyone around the table said, "My soul magnifies the Lord & my spirit rejoices in God my Savior."
If our souls truly seek to magnify the Lord at all times & our spirits continually rejoice in God, then those critical moments be easier, decisions would be made better & more purposefully; & moments of anger & frustration would dramatically lessen, if not disappear entirely.
Life is not always the way we want it to be. It has its twists & turns. Yet this response to life will not only ease our souls but also, help us be better examples to people around us.
My soul magnifies the Lord & my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.
Luke 1:46

PRAYER:
Mary’s response is one of both
humility & gratitude.
She doesn’t complain
“woe is me, woe is my lot,”
nor does she gloat
“look at me.”
Rather she humbly replies
“My soul magnifies the Lord &
my spirit rejoices
in God my Savior.”
What a great mantra
this could be if applied to
every aspect of our lives?
What if at every
critical moment,
before every decision, or
during moments of anger &
frustration, we prayed
THIS prayer?
“My soul MAGNIFIES the Lord &
my spirit REJOICES
in God my Savior.”
Try saying it throughout the day
today,
before every decision,
before every
interpersonal encounter.
Lord, let my soul magnify You
in everything I do today.
Let My spirit rejoice in You
my Savior.
Let me never grumble when
the things that come my way
don't really make me feel
my best.
Let me continue to rejoice
in You, my Lord.
Amen.
