John 3:14

 The Son of Man must be lifted up,f t  that everyone who believesu may have eternal life in him.”g


Lord, You are still here. You are leading me onward as I write Your book. I pray for the ideas to come swiftly, and that I might be done by Driftwood. But Your will and not mine, Lord. I have two weeks.

You are the ruler of my life. I pray that You would incline my heart to love Your people, and to remember who I am in You. I am a light in the world. I am to care for your sheep, and to spread the word about You. Lord, I pray that You would use me for that purpose.

I want a life of meaning and depth, in You.

I pray for Sara and Andy and little baby Max. I pray that they all three would be drawn close to You.

I pray the same for Dad and Mom and Terri.

I pray the my children would be covered in the blood of Jesus.

In Your son's name I pray,

Amen

Habakkuk 2:14

The earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord.

I am Yours. Thank You for giving me the knowledge of Your glory. I'm feeble and don't get it completely, but i know enough.

I pray that You will change me, mold me to be more like Jesus.

I pray for the children today. I pray for Hope, for healing, and I pray that You would bless our classroom and enable me to handle whatever gets thrown at me.

I pray for Katie, Savannah, Elizabeth, London, Victor, Izzy, Joshua, Charlie, Howie, Kale, Ryder, Peyton, Hannah and the two I'm forgetting! Please help me to remember Your presence as I teach the class today.

In Your son's precious name I pray,
Amen

Hebrews 13:6

Hebrews 13:6 Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.

I am not focused. I pray for Your calming spirit to focus me. I long to be kind, patient, loving. I want to go out of my way to help people. I'm sorry that I haven't gone out of my way to help in Lily's science fair project, orchestrating with Katie's mother. 

I pray for Your book, that it comes together as You want it to, and that it gets done. Mom put a fire under me about how long it's taking, and about my plan going forward. Lord, what do You have to say about it? Please lead me forward, guide me in the way I should go. This book is for You and about You, and I pray that You would be in charge of it, not me. 

I pray for Lee, for blessings upon him at work. I pray that You would direct him, and that he would sense Your guiding.

I pray for Mary-Evelyn, who I'm meeting for lunch today. I pray for a spirit of peace and that You would bless her.

I pray for Sunflower Sisters tonight, that Laurel would continue to be drawn to You. I pray this for my children, too.

I pray for all of my sweet BSF children who I LOVE SO MUCH. I am so grateful to You for giving them to me. They are my joy. (Next to Isabel and Lily, of course.)

I pray that You would make it easy for me to share. Show me how to joyfully make sacrifices which are pleasing to You.

In Your son's precious name I pray,

Amen

Ephesians 2:10

For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. — Ephesians 2:10

Lord I pray for Jamie Lupiani, for healing, for patience, for peace. You alone know Your plan for her, and how You're working in her life. I know nothing. But I know that I can pray for her, and that I can have an attitude of love. I pray also for the students in her class. I pray that I will deal with them lovingly, and that Your light will shine through me at Driftwood.

Please prepare my heart for that trip.

I pray that Mom and I will have a good lunch today, and that you will use me to minister to her in any way she needs. I pray also for Dad, that he won't feel left out. 

I pray for Lee at work, for blessings upon blessings to be heaped upon him. I pray that I will learn to trust You and lean on You in our financial situation. Please take away my fear and anxiety. I pray that when I start worrying about money, I will look to You.

Thank You for Your book so far. I pray that You will allow me to finish it soon, and strong, with everything You have to say.

In Your son's name I pray,
Amen
