How do you handle power, when no one is watching?

Feeling tired and a bit irritable?

You must rely on Me alone.
Look to no other Help.
Trust in the unseen, not in those you see.
Trust.
Fear Not. -God Calling


All will be well if we abandon ourselves to God.

God truly helps us however much we may feel we have lost His support.
There is a kind of holiness in which all the messages from God are bright and clear,
but there is also that state of utterly quiescent faith in which all that God tells us is wrapped in the impenetrable darkness which veils His throne, and all we feel is confused and shadowy.   In this condition , we are often afraid, like the prophet of running smack into a rock as we advance through this darkness.   We should have no fear.   We are on the right path and led by God.Yet we want to know which way must we go in this darkness?  Where ever we wish.   It does not matter. We cannot get lost when there is no road to be found. Nor can we head for any particular destination, for we can see nothing at all.
-Abandonment to Divine Providence


How do you handle power?
Especially when no one is watching!
All of us have some power and authority over other people.
Authority over children, those who may be weaker than us, vulnerable...
Handle it with strength and dignity.
God understands us for our lack of understanding and compassion for others.
But He can grace us with the ability to be meek and strong for those that we lead.

If any man desires to be first, 
the same shall be last of all and servant of all.  -Matthew 9:35
