The Lord does whatever pleases him,
    in the heavens and on the earth,
    in the seas and all their depths.

Psalm 135:6


Yesterday at BSF I talked about being blinded by self-interest. But God is always in control, and He will block me if He sees fit. The Lord does whatever pleases Him.

Lord, You are always in control. This is a good thing, because You say "I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future."

Thank You for Your plans for me. Please grant me the grace to know and do Your will. Please open my eyes to what You have for me. What am I supposed to be doing?

Isabel is sick in bed. I'm leaving her to teach BSF. I pray Your protection over her. Lord, please send your angels to stand guard over her bed, and watch over her for these next three hours. 

I pray over our day today. You are in control. I pray for Lily, that she'll be protected from this sickness. I pray for Lee, that he won't get sick, either. I pray for Your protection over our home.

I pray for my BSF class today, for each child, that each one will grow up to come to know You. I pray for Joey and Andrew, if they come today, I pray that You would fill me with Your spirit and knowledge and patience to know just how to handle them. I pray that You would be with me while I tell the Bible story and help me to remember the right words. I pray for Christine, that she would have a good day in our room. I thank You for her! 

I pray for strength, that I would use the redemptive discipline principles when needed, and that I would be able to know to get them to listen and learn about You.

Lord, please watch over Isabel and I pray for her healing.

I pray for my book---help!--that I would continue to progress and glorify You.
