John 16:22

John 16:22 

So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.

Lord Jesus,

I pray that I would believe Your words about the fact that You are real and alive and that I will see You some day. I pray that I would believe that You know that I have sorrow now, but You also know that You will see me and my heart will rejoice. 

I pray for Lily's third grade class and for her teacher Ms. Love. I pray that Lily will find a friend in that class to bond with, and I pray that Ms. Love will get the behavior-problem children to be alert and responsive to her, and to want to learn. I pray for Ms. Love, that You would give her a spirit of patience and wisdom in knowing how to handle the class.

I pray for Lily, that she would settle down and make a friend, and that she would learn. I pray that she would show kindness, and learn kindness from others. I pray that Ms. Love will get to know and love Lily like I know and love her.

I pray for a better day at school today.

For Isabel, I pray that she would grow and seize her potential. I pray that You would nurture her to be the quiet leader she seems meant to be.

Lord, You are powerful and good, and Your will is unfolding. Whatever I see, and I see some bad things, Your will is unfolding. You can use all things for Your good purposes. I pray that You would show me Yourself today.

I pray for my book. I thank You for the progress I made yesterday, and I pray that I would be open to Your prompting. This is Your book, Lord, and I am just writing it.

In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen
