ordained days

"All the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be."




Lord, Jesus, I pray first and foremost that You would strengthen my belief that this is true. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

You knew me before I was born, and you have all my days ordained. You know my past and my future. I am Yours.

I long to be walking with You. What next? Please show me what You have for me.

I pray that You will infuse me with Your wisdom so that I might be able to teach The Young Peacemaker to Isabel and Lily and to whoever else You draw into it. I pray that You will enable me to rely on You every step of the way. I trust You to bring whoever needs to hear it, and that You will show me which parts of the book I should teach. I pray that You will organize my thoughts, and cover the whole endeavor with Your blessing. I want to live for You, I want to teach my children and others' children to do the same. Please bless this endeavor.

I pray for Lily today in her game. I can't help but pray that she'll hit the ball and get to first base. Lord, please, please give Lily the ability to keep her eye on the ball and connect with it.

I pray for Isabel, too, for the exact same thing. I pray that they will both have opportunities to field and catch and do well.

I pray that I will have nothing but love for all the kids.

Lord, I pray for my book, that You will have me fashion it in a way that it spells out just what You want it to say. You have given me an ability with words, and that ability ought to be used for Your glory. My days have been ordained, so I don't have to worry over it--just put my mind to pleasing You.

I pray for this head cold that seems to be coming on. I pray for healing, or if not, a good attitude while enduring it.

I pray for Mom and Dad in France, that You would be with them and guide them. I pray that they would have time and reason to turn to You. I pray that maybe You would put someone in their path who might set them looking for You.

I pray for Lee, that he would grow healthier--spiritually, mentally and physically. I know that this happens through turning more and more towards You. I pray for this.

I pray for Big Lee and Janet, for whatever they're going through this week. I pray for healing, and comfort, and that they know that their children love them.

I pray for an ability to live my life, every detail, in a way that's pleasing to You, in a way that looks to You first.

In Your son's name I pray,

Amen
