Psalm 35-22-23

O LORD, ... be not silent. Do not be far from me, O Lord. Awake, and rise to my defense! Contend for me, my God and Lord. 

I want to react to all I meet with love and grace and patience. I pray that You would fill me with the knowledge that You are with me, and that I can draw on Your power and Your joy. I pray that You would renew me, and fill me with power and joy!

I pray for the situation with our car. It looks like another financial burden is coming upon us. I thank You and praise You that we can handle it. I pray for the financial provision to pay for this car. I pray for a swift and easy time of buying it. And I pray for Your help in knowing what to do with our lack of car--and burdening Mom and Dad by using theirs. Please show me what we need to do, and when we need to do it. Please stretch Lee's time, so that he might be able to tackle this problem ASAP.

I pray for Lily. I don't know what Your plan for her is, but I know she wants to get into Target. I pray that she and I will be at peace with Your perfect plan. Of course I pray that Your plan includes Target!!! But I am Yours, and so is Lily. I want her to learn that Your ways are not our ways. But that Your ways are perfect. You have a perfect plan for Lily, and I praise You for it!

I pray for Isabel, that You would use her wonderful gifts and qualities to bring glory to You. I pray for the class newspaper, that I would know just when to butt in, and most importantly when to butt out!

I pray for Mom and Dad, that I would be loving and kind and that You would draw them ever closer to You.

I pray for Peyton and Brittany, and their family. I thank You for allowing this little boy into my life. I pray that You would use me to be of help. I praise You for filling Brittany with Your spirit.

I pray for my BSF leaders, that You would protect health and strengthen relationships. I thank You for BSF, and for this wonderful year of it so far.

I pray that 101 Dalmatians will go smoothly, and that I will be a blessing to everyone I come into contact with throughout my helping. I pray for Lily, that she'll KIIL it!

I pray for Your book, that you would show me what's next. I rely on You completely, Lord. Show me what's next.

In Your son's precious name I pray,

Amen
