Setting myself apart

"I am the LORD your God; consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am holy." (Leviticus 11:44)

This is a verse from my BSF homework today. It's about setting yourself apart in terms of the way you conduct yourself. I can be rotten, and I have a hard time remembering to do this. But it can be a wonderful guide.

Tonight at Tom's concert, I pray for Your spirit to fill the place. I pray for Dad to feel Your peace. I pray for opportunities to put your ways into practice, and then to actually do it!

Thank you for a good shopping trip yesterday, and the resources to buy the children gifts. For a safe drive there and back, and for Isabel and Lily coming safely home to me after their adventures.

I pray for my manuscript, that Katherine would have time to dedicate to reading it. I pray that you would show both of us the way forward. I've told so many people about it now, I have many people praying for me. I pray that I'm in Your will! 

I pray for Linda, who drove me to the BSF party last night. She has so many troubles. Financial problems. Son has severe ADHD. Mother in need of help for aftermath of congestive heart failure. You know all this. I pray that she will have the strength and wherewithal to keep focused on You with each step she takes.

I pray for protection around my girls. Carry them safely through! 

I pray for Lee's work situation, for his health, for all to go well for him at tonight's concert.

In Your son's name I pray.
