Some years ago, I attended The Adrian Rogers Pastor’s Training Institute. He challenged us to P-A-C-E at the start of every day. The P stands for praise. When you wake up, lift your hands to heaven and praise God for His goodness and His grace. The A stands for accept. Turn your uplifted hands inward and accept afresh God’s unconditional love and acceptance of you. The C stands for control. Raise your hands in surrender and say to God, “I want You to be in complete control of me.” Lastly, the E in PACE stands for expect. You see, once you have praised Him, accepted His love and grace, and yielded control, then you can expect a great day! I hope you’ll practice PACE each and every day, because when you do, you’ll experience REAL HOPE.
