examining my heart

I know my own heart is deceitful, and I know my own motives and attitude are anything but always pure, but I strive to have Christ’s mind and am constantly examining my intents. 

Lord,
I strive to have Christ's mind. I strive to do the things Christ would do if He were here in the flesh. He would take care of Lee today, and also find a way to get in touch with Dad in a way that won't upset Lee. On this Father's Day, He would strive to serve You first and foremost, by loving them.

Lee may or may not present frustrations and obstacles to my desire to serve him. I pray that he does not! But if he does, that's not my concern. My job is to love, love, love him. That's what I will do.

I pray for the VBS skit dress rehearsal today, that we will remember our lines, and learn how to act with the microphones, and that we will most of all remember that what we are doing is for You and in Your service. I pray that the children will hear our message and learn about You.

I pray for this busy week ahead. VBS, of course. I pray for the swim meet on Monday, that both girls will do their best and learn quality lessons about good sportsmanship. I pray that You would show me ways to arrange their lives around You.

I pray for Lily's acting camp this week, that she will thrive and blossom and LOVE IT. I pray that Lily will find her thing that she excels in, whatever that is besides being a pure delight to me.

I pray for a spirit of capability and usefulness to serve You.

In Your son's name I pray,
Amen
