It's been increasingly difficult to pray, due to busyness. Meanwhile, life keeps happening. Problems arise, concerns. Issues that God is present for, but I don't acknowledge Him. I don't remember Him.
Lord, You say that You created everything, everyone. You form babies in the womb. You formed me in the womb; you have a vested interest, a stake in my life. Yesterday I didn't think of you once as I dealt with our adorable but sick dog. Or as I went kids consignment shopping with Mom. (Thank you for her!!!) Or as I looked after the children, and made dinner, and listened to Lee--so proud to have gotten a raise and a bonus!
Lord, I pray that You would show me how to express to Lee that I think He's doing a wonderful job as a provider for our family. If you had told me ten years ago that I would be able to stay at home and raise two beautiful girls while my capable husband paid the bills, I would have jumped for joy! Show me how to express this to Lee, my sweet man. I love him.
Lord, we adopted the most adorable dog, and so gentle and quiet. But he's sick and not getting better after five days (three on antibiotics). I prayed for the right dog, discussed it with You. Now I pray that You'll show me how to care for this dog, and how to juggle the responsibilities with Lee.
What can I learn from this dog situation? Show Lee that I'm his helper. I'll care for the dog. Please help me to do so.
I pray that Sara would have an experience with Jesus in Your perfect timing. I pray that You would show me an opportunity to write a book that glorifies You by September.
In Your son's name I pray.
Amen
