Dear God,
There is someone on this platform who continually tries to upset me—privately with harsh words and publicly with subtle rudeness. I know I will encounter people like this throughout my life. I wanted to respond, but I wasn’t able to. Whether it was a glitch or Your divine protection, I choose to believe it was Your hand reminding me that You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
Help me never to be quick to defend myself when You are more than capable of defending me. Many have spread falsehoods, attempt to discourage me, or judge me unfairly. Please teach me to be slow to anger and rich in mercy toward them.
Thank You for today. I have been quite exhausted, but I’m grateful that the weekend is here. I’m excited to rest and focus on my drills. I will work my hardest to memorize each step and use the proper verbiage for my drill exam. I also have another exam this week covering first aid and cabin preparation, followed by my final comprehensive exam. Please help me memorize and visualize each step with clarity and confidence. I plan to study all weekend and give it my full effort.
Today we had self-defense training, and I gave it everything I had. I truly enjoyed my time with my class. It was refreshing to have different instructors for a change.
After class, I treated two of my colleagues to dinner at Denny’s—the best I could afford. We took a photo together afterward, and it turned out so sweet. I would be so happy if I ever had the opportunity to work a flight with them one day.
They reviewed the drills with me at the restaurant, and tomorrow I plan to go over them again throughout the day. On Sunday, I will focus on studying for my exam. I also need to complete chores and prepare for the week ahead.
I got home around 11:00 p.m., but after a bath and getting ready for bed, it’s much later than I expected. I need to rest.
Before I close, I want to say this: I trust that You allow certain people into my life for a reason. Some people may dislike me without cause. They may try to tear me down or say I’m not worthy. But I pray that their words become confirmation that I am walking in purpose.
Someone suggested I should “pack my bags for convenience.” The night before an exam—when I earned a perfect score—I had actually packed my bags. Today, I felt prompted to unpack something, and I did because I needed those shoes for self-defense. Next week, we’ll be in the water for hands-on slide and ditching evacuation training.
I believe You are reminding me not to pack my bags in fear. To stay present. To remain steady. To trust You fully.
No matter what happens, I will not feed negativity. I will remain silent and place my trust in You.
AMEN.
