Dear Heavenly Father, I think it significant and symbolic that Julie's (and Amy's) father on earth felt a pull toward them yesterday. (If You're willing, we'll visit them next Saturday at camp.) Last night, Amy--who carries her cell phone whereas Julie is not allowed--texted me that "[Julie]'s got a lot on her plate this week." A little later, after a request for clarification, she sent this: "I think she's just overwhelmed. She's got one really difficult camper and she's a team leader for the week."
The request? Just pray for her and for her energy. So, here I am, Father, asking You to infuse Julie with necessary additional energy from You. We know that Julie is not, by nature, an "energetic" person. She's is more calm, more laid back, more go-with-the-flow. Holy Spirit, move in and through Julie's life this week in supernatural ways to fill her with joy, patience (that difficult camper), and stamina. I pray additionally that this would happen in such a way that she comes by these things surprisingly! At the end of this week (and maybe this summer), could she look back on it with curiosity and wonder where all of this "unnatural" (to her) energy, patience, and joy came from--and then have her eyes opened to You standing there grinning?
Help her out, Lord. You and I know that she loves You and wants to serve You. "Sociology," right? Difficult people are unfortunately a part of society and, more unfortunately, of Your family. Touch her now (8:06 a.m.--she's probably awake) and encourage her. In Jesus's name, because this is all for His sake~Amen.
