For we live by faith, not by sight. (2 Corinthians 5:7)

When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. (Psalm 56:3)


Dear God,

My mind is scattered and I feel unworthy and guilty. I pray for Your thoughts in my head, not my own. Thank you for another good day at BSF, and for the blessings you've granted me through it. 

Thank you for the opportunity to write this book. I want to write something that glorifies You. I want it to be a book where You are an unseen but deeply felt character. Lord I am at Your mercy. My motives aren't pure but I do want to glorify You and to think in terms of Your impact in the world.

I pray for Lee, who is depressed and embarrassed after his fall, and I pray Your protection over him at work. 

I pray for Isabel and Lily, that You would go before them at school.

I pray for Hannah Moulton, who has her own issues and insecurities to deal with and is lashing out at Isabel. 

I want to take Your advice to heart: Do everything without complaining or arguing. Just do it, move forward.

I pray for protection over Mom and Dad as they prepare for their move to France. What do I need to do to help them?

Lord, show me how to love others and to love You more.

In Your son's name I pray,
Amen
