Acts 4:28

They did what your power and will had decided beforehand should happen. — Acts 4:28


Lord, You are before all things, and in You all things hold together. Your will and Your power. I pray that You would draw me back to You. My thoughts to You.

I pray for Abigail, who I am meeting for coffee. I pray that You will bless her and her family. I pray that we will focus on You.

I feel like my faith is STILL so weak despite all the training. I am so full of selfishness and insecurity. Help.

I pray for my children today as they are at school. Please, please bless them and keep them safe, and I pray for Your protection over them, always.

I pray for Lee. Show me how to  lift him up.

I pray for Dad, that You will help. And for Mom, thank You for her.

And for Sara and Andy and their precious baby Max.

I pray for Leigh's mom.

1 Timothy 1:17-19

"Command those who are richb in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth,c which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God,d who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.e 18 Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds,f and to be generous and willing to share.g 19 In this way they will lay up treasure for themselvesh as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold ofi the life that is truly life."

Lord, the life that is truly life is life lived with You. I pray that I would keep my eyes focused on You. I pray that You would guide me forward. I pray that I would not look to my left or my right, but up.

I pray for Katharine as she reads my book. I pray that You will work through her.

I pray for Lee, that things will get better at work.

I pray for Isabel and Lily, as they take the math portion of the GA Milestones test today. You are supreme, and Your Holy Spirit is at work. I thank You for everything.

Please guide me in how to spend my time while I wait.

In Your son's precious name I pray,
Amen

Philippians 4:13

I can do everything through him who gives me strength. — Philippians 4:13


Lord, I am lost and confused through reading Revelation 21. I don't know what to think. But I do know that Your character, as explained throughout the Bible, is love. You ARE love. 

Lord, I am tired of BSF women who are so dumb. I want to be surrounded by people like Anne Lamott. On the other hand, I can't deny the words of the Bible. This leads me to feel very confused and torn. 

I want to give this all to You. I pray that You will take this confusion away, or guide me through it. I want to have a strong faith in You, unshakeable. Lord, I pray that I will experience Your presence, know that I'm loved, know that You have a plan and a purpose for my life.

I pray for Katharine as she's promised to finally read my book this week. I'm so confused I don't even know what to pray anymore. So I will pray this: Whatever Your will is, Lord. I pray that You will use me in whatever way Your will prescribes. You know it's my heart's desire to be a novelist, and to write about You. But You are in charge, in control, and I am Your child. I continue to wait on You, with hope.

I pray for those people in my life who may be inclined to reject You. You know who they are. I pray for them, Lord. I pray that You would draw them to You, soften their hearts, save them. Rescue them from themselves. Soften my heart to them, and show me how You would use me, if You would use me.

I pray for Isabel and Lily during this testing week, that Your spirit of wisdom would hover over them as they take their tests.

I pray for Mom and Dad's health.

I pray for Lee's job. Lord, I don't know what's going on, but he is so stressed to the point of illness. Lord, please, I beg You to step in and help Lee, and show me how I might help him. What can I do to make things better? I pray that You would heap blessings upon him at work.

In Your son's precious name I pray,

Amen
