Hello, Lord. Don't take the dates difference between these posts to indicate that I have not prayed. You know that! Just now on Facebook, one of the Junior Church teachers with a learning disabled (maybe) daughter, Kassidy, asked for prayer for Kassidy's midterm exam tomorrow. I am honored to partner with You in prayer in Kassidy's life. So....
Dearest Heavenly Father, how often we humans fail the "tests" that You place before us. Too often. For a young person with learning challenges, the struggle with tests is not only academic but spiritual. Lord, would You honor Kassidy by allowing her a decently passing grade? More importantly, dear God, would You calm her heart in an extraordinary Divine way that can come only from You? Help her to pass the test to "be anxious for nothing." But--remind her to pray with thanksgiving! We love her and her mom, Lord God. Please use this trial to prove Yourself to her, to strengthen the bond that she has with You, and to be exalted and glorified. In Jesus's wonderful name~~Amen.
Another thing, dear God. This one has the potential to be twitchy. I think I need to communicate with the pastor of our church about the state of CE, specifically Junior Church but touching on Nursery as well. I am NOT good at this. In fact, I am actively avoiding writing this letter. Maybe I will keep it 95% newsy and positive. Please inspire me. I don't think I will write it tonight. I will, however, continue to ask Your thoughts and direction on it. Please give me an outline of what to say. I also need You to help me, my Ezer, with the annual report due next week. I would continue to embrace these ministries with zeal and excitement if I did not have so many distractions in my life, you know. I wish HBC would hire a Children's Ministry Coordinator.
Okay, I told our daughter that I would try to be home by 7:30 p.m. I don't have much time left. Sometimes I just need to sit long enough for the distractions in my head to drift off and allow the important, heavy issues to remain behind. A whole day...what a dream!
I love You so much! Be exalted! Jesus, the most beautiful name that I know.
