Regret

Regret isn't always a bad thing, if we know how to recognize it for what it is and learn to use it to our benefit. While regrets can be a powerful weapon of the enemy, we can use this as a tool to learn from and to use to help, not just ourselves but our loved ones.Yet, I find it hard sometimes to focus on the possibility of a beneficial outcome and rather just wallow in self pity.
There are so many regrets in my life but the vast majority of those are the regrets for the things I haven't done. Missed opportunities, dreams that I never realized when I was capable of taking a risk and so on. In so many ways, I feel like a complete failure, but being a father of three incredible kids, I also realize that I have a duty to pass this knowledge on to my children. In doing so, I realize that I am not a failure. That my life is bigger than just "me" and at the very least, my babies can set out and chase thier dreams.

I'm a dreamer, Lord. Please help me achieve my dreams, to fulfill those that are in Your will and dismiss those that are not. Thank You for my life and my family. Please continue to bless them and I open myself up to Your will so I may be a blessing to others. Amen
