Deuteronomy 8:18

Lord, I am worried about the book, and whether it's good or not, and whether I'll finish. But you say:

But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your forefathers, as it is today.

Yes, the book is Yours. I will continue to pray and get direction from You.

I pray for Lee, who is so good to me. We've been un-connected because of Lily's need for me to put her to bed every night. Lord, show me whether this is bothering Lee, and how I might help the situation. Show me what he needs right now.

I pray about finances. We owe $1000 to my parents. $250 to the      orthodontist. $200 for the women's retreat. $600 for Christmas presents. And surely more to come. I pray that we would be able to cover our expenses and still tithe.

Lord, thank You for a good day at BSF. Please don't let my sinful nature get carried away with pride, that the Bible story went well. The woman who comes and cleans the tables after we're done is as much worth to You as I am, and probably closer to Your heart because of her humility. I pray that You would continue to mold me into a holy child of God. I pray for the Holy Spirit to guide me.

You suffered and died to save me. Now that I am Yours, I am grateful. I am loved. I want to be Your instrument to care for others.

I pray for Hannah, who has started being mean to Isabel on the bus again. I pray for confidence and a feeling of being loved, and also a feeling of conviction that she ought not treat Isabel that way. I pray that Isabel will return her evil with good, and that Hannah will learn from that.

I pray for Isabel, that You would give her the generosity of spirit to return evil with good.

I pray for Lily, who is the apple of Your eye. I pray that I will be prompted by You in how to guide her forward.

I pray for Dad and Mom, that You would draw them both to You.

In Your son's precious name I pray,

Amen
