Psalm 25:3-5

Psalm 25:3-5

3Indeed, none of those who wait for You will be ashamed; 
Those who deal treacherously without cause will be ashamed. 4Make me know Your ways, O LORD; Teach me Your paths. 5Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation.


Lord, You are holy. I feel low, because I'm not holy. Yesterday I told Hubie that Isabel's Sunday school teacher wasn't cutting it. He looked at me with distaste. I wasn't being holy.

Lord, I am sorry. Please forgive me. Show me what I might do to make amends. Email Hubie? I do think her teacher is boring, and I'd like to spare her from his boringness. But my approach was all wrong. Hubie pointed out that Isabel has to go to Sunday school whether she likes it or not, and he's right. 

I will send Hubie an email? Even as I type that, there's a push-back rising up in my chest. But she deserves better! I want my way. 

You say, Be holy, because I am holy.

This is a matter of trusting You. I should be telling You about Isabel and her Sunday school class, not trying to meddle in her affairs at church. Lord, I want to hand this over to You. Indeed none of those who wait for You will be ashamed.

Lord, You are holy, and I long to be holy too. My manuscript is with Katherine, and I can't help but think about it. Please keep my focus on You. What is Your plan for me going forward? Katherine's response will come when it comes, and it will be in Your timing. You know that I pray for an open door and a clear way forward. Keep me in mind that You are involved in everything.

I pray for Lee's health. I pray for Isabel and Lily, for protection over them. I pray for their character, and their love.

I pray for Mom and Dad.

In Your son's name I pray.
Amen
