Beginnings and Endings – your Lion Bite word for today

I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. I am here with you now and in eternity at the same time. I am the author of time and space, and even before you were even conceived, I had written a destiny and a purpose uniquely for you. 

Do you think that I have made a mistake? Were you expecting to be somewhere else right now on your journey, or are you pushing to find your way through in your strength? 

Let me remind you that I hold you in the palm of my hand. I write all of your beginnings and endings, and I craft you in the process if you let me. Soon, it will all make sense to you, and you will see that I have written your story perfectly. 

Prayer: 

God, sometimes I can’t tell the difference between beginnings and endings. I am sorry for where I hold onto things I should let go of, and where I run ahead into something new before being sure it’s the right thing to do. Lord, I hand you my beginnings and my endings and where I am right now in the midst of them. I give you permission to release me from what holds me back and move me into the new you have for me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
