Mental Help

Image
Heavenly Father, God of all comfort, please heal our broken places. Show us where You are working even though we feel alone. please help the schoolkids and teachers and workers that no one feels like an island. i keep thinking about Jesus saying, "a smoking flax He will not quench; a broken reed He will not break." If I can ease someone's pain, set the broken bone, carry the backpack for awhile, show me. please give me the mental energy to do so. You have filled my cup, Lord, and Im grateful beyone words!

Walk

Lord, please show us Your path. Our tendency to go our own way and not consult roadmaps is famous. This week, we took a walk. Checked the weather ahead. It said, "Possible rain in 30 minutes." After 20 blissful moments in balmy air, the wind kicked up and the sprinkles began. By the time we were back on our street, thunder shook the ground. After reaching safety, it poured! Thank you, Jesus, for safely accompanying us home. Thank you for keeping my sis-in-law safe in the car wreck she had yesterday, sponsored by a young, inexperienced driver. In all our ways, You direct our paths. Sometimes, you plan for us to encounter disaster, but You hold onto us throughout the ordeal. Thank You for giving us safety for one more day.

Getting Out of Bed

Lord, I'm praying for those (myself included) who are struggling just to get up. What to make for breakfast? Let's get coffee on. What's that new pain? How about that old emotional scar, that recurring worry? What about my husband, my kids? You have made promises, Lord, about Your word never returning void. About our children flourishing. About their spiritual health, And our sure forgiveness. I can entrust you With my skin condition and back ache and health in general, finances, the Middle Eastern conflict, all those lost souls needing You. Please show me my small tasks today, And I'll do my best to follow Your lead.
