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
