Jordan, My Helper

Again, dear Father, I want to commit to praying in actuality when I promise someone I will.  Today, during Bill's chemo treatment, Nicole Patricks asked me to pray for Jordan, her oldest daughter and one of my most beloved helpers in Junior Church.

Father, Jordan has a tremendous heart for You and some cognitive limitations in her brain.  She is so sweet, Lord.  Sometimes, though, she may not keep up with kids of average to above-average intelligence.  So it seems to be at Pineshore Bible Camp in Westminster this week.

At least I think she's at Pineshore.  :)

No matter where she is, her momma reports that Jordan may be struggling not so much with homesickness as with social relationships with her peers.  Please, dear Father, You know Jordan's special and specific needs.  You know that she loves You.  (Remember the story Nicole related about Jordan's sticking up for You when she was in second grade?  She punched a disrespectful boy in the stomach.  Later, when Nicole asked what he said, she replied, "Ungh!"  LOL!!)  She is not quick-witted or sassy or socially comfortable.  Please allow someone strong and sensitive to be led by Your Holy Spirit to see Jordan's awkwardness and to be gentle and welcoming to her.  May a dear one from Your family include Jordan in an understanding and loving way in the banter and fun and especially in the spiritual conversations among the girls, but in a way that doesn't go over Jordan's head.  In Jesus's name~Amen.
