just prayers

But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. — 2 Corinthians 12:9


Answered prayer: My talk with BSF Children's leader Cindy went fine yesterday. She's going to take Micah out of the class, which is a positive and concrete step towards assuaging the Joey situation. Thank you Lord. I pray that I will show Your grace and love to Joey and to Betsy next week.

Here's the Verse of the Day prayer:

Patient and loving Shepherd, guard my heart from discouragement in tough times and guard it from arrogance in good times. I know that without you I have nothing that is permanent.

I continue to wrestle with uneasy feelings about the Moultons and how wounded they probably feel, and how angry. I pray for Your guidance. Would you make it clear to me how to do the right thing? I pray for the Moultons that You would give them peace and help them to see that Hannah has sin just like the rest of us.

I pray for protection over my children today, and for healing for Janet. I pray for Lee, for his mood, for his health, for me to be a good wife to him.

I pray for Dad and Mom and Sara and Andy, that You would bless them and make Your face shine upon them, that You would be gracious to them and grant them peace.

I pray for my book, that You would continue to pour Your thoughts into me as I write a book that's for You.

In Your son's name I pray,

Amen
