Prayers

God,

You are so wise. You knew I needed today so badly. It feels like it has been forever since we have had a good day with the oldest. He has been cranky and grouchy all wrapped up in a bad mood. I began to wonder if I could be his mother. It was hard. It was too much. Then. Today. It was wonderful to make it through the day without a fight, without tears. He had his moments, but when I said no, he said OK. Things just were not a big deal today. Thank you so much for giving me time to appreciate my kid for who he is. I needed it.

I pray for D. I do not even know him, but he is a little guy that has gotten pretty sick. I ask that you give him speedy recovery so he may go home to his family. Give his parents the strength to make it through. May they rely on You. May they seek You in this time.

Lord, I pray you would help me with the work situation. Give me a direction. Our friend D said he might know of something. If this is what I need to be doing, then please help me make it so. I am not sure where else to look. I am willing to try something new if that is where You want me.

I ask for a smooth morning. We have to all get somewhere in different directions and different times. I pray we can stay calm and make it through the day with your help.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.
