Lord let me be like the bumble bee, so totally unaware that he's not supposed to be able to fly that he just does. no one told him that his body wasn't aero-dynamic, so he just lifts himself off the ground. No one told him that his wings weren't made to support him and carry him through the air, so he just goes about his business flying from one place to the other. Whether or not he looks awkward to the other flying creatures, he just flies. He does it because You told him to.
Lord let me be like the bumble bee, not caring what others might think about me. Help me to ignore doubt and wasteful words that might be spoken in my direction. Cover my ears so that hurtful words won't enter my thought realm. Guide my eyes so that I won't see all the pointing and side glances of doubters and those who walk in darkness. Lead me so that I won't be moved by the wrong influences. Be a light to my path so that I won't stumble and fall.
I may not look like I'm supposed to do all that you have put in my hands to do, but like the bumble bee, I'm going to do it anyway. Some may say that I don't sound like the orator they think I should be, but you created me and gave me the words to speak, so like the bumble bee, I'm going to ignore them and I'm going to speak anyway. I may not have come from the kind of family that people think would produce a leader, but "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me". I may not have all the credentials that some others have, but I have the seal of Christ. I may not have attempted this new thing before, but I have the faith of a mustard seed. Lord help me be like the bumble bee lift me above all the doubt and negativity. I thank you that all the eagles and hawks will look up and see ...me being all that you created me to be. In Jesus name. Amen.
