Peace and trust

We are to die to ourselves and pray for those who hate us (Matt 5:44). This, of course, is a supernatural, God-given ability, and you won’t be able to do this in your own human strength. To feed someone who is your enemy means that you don’t give them what they deserve because God doesn’t give us what we deserve; that is called grace. 


Lord Jesus, 

Please hold onto me, and don't let me slip. I want to walk with You, and that's harder without BSF and people around me constantly reminding me.

I pray to remember that You are here with me now. You are always, always with me. I pray to be holy before You. I haven't been.

I pray for You to supernaturally pull me up out of the muck and mire. I pray for the ability to love others, especially my husband. I pray that You'll make me into a better wife. Show me how.

I pray for Sara, who sends me texts at ungodly hours because she can't sleep. I pray that You will draw her to You, and that she will find comfort and relief.

I pray for Lee's health, that You will show him the way toward better health spiritually, mentally and physically.

I pray for protection over my girls.

I pray for Lee to want to put up Lily's shelves, and fix the towel hangers in the bathroom. I pray that this will happen soon.

I pray for the situation at Lee's office that has him so stressed out. 

I pray for this book. Lord, it's Your book. Please pour Your spirit into me as I write it. I write it for You. That's disingenuous, but I'm saying it anyway, because You know my heart. I pray that I will trust You, that You will fill my heart with a spirit of peace and trust.


Amen
