There is a spiritual world that I cannot see. This world has order, and purpose. I long to be part of it, but that requires quiet reflection, and I have the material world to contend with.
Tomorrow is the first day of my Circle of Friends group at church. We are studying Becoming a Woman of Influence. We are asked who we'd like to influence.
I'd like to influence my children. My husband, my sister, my parents. I'd like to influence my children's friends.
What's stopping me? I feel pulled in too many directions. I want to get my work done, make lists and cross things off of them. Meanwhile, the spiritual world is there, and I feel like I can't enter it because of all these things to do first.
Lord, I pray for Lily today, that she will feel comfortable at school, that others will reach out to her and she'll reach out to them. I pray for You to watch over her, guide her.
I pray for Isabel, that You would watch over her, protect her and help her to use her voice. I pray for Lee, that He will continue to seek You out and to do the right thing.
I pray for Dad, that I would be understanding and sensitive to his feelings, and loving, and grateful for all that he's given me.
I pray for Mom, protect her Lord, she is my greatest friend.
In Your son's name I pray.
Amen
