How do You see my activities and plans and thoughts? You see the children's Christmas pageant at Eastminster as an expression of love. You want me to trust You, as always. To pray for the pageant (I pray, Lord!) and to see it as something You've ushered me into, and which You will lead me through step by step. You want me to see that it's larger than me, that everything's larger than me, but that You are with me always.
You want me to come to You with my frustrations. Isabel and Lily are contentious these days. These days of all days, right before Christmas! I pray for both of them, for kind hearts, for kind thoughts, for the realization that they are each other's best friend. I pray for guidance on how to lead them to walk in Your path.
I pray that in everything I do, I can be of use to You. That I wouldn't forget.
I pray for the families of the children massacred in Newtown, Connecticut. I pray that I would believe in You anew.
In Your son's name I pray.
Amen
