'In everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.' - Philippians 4:6
My seas are calm right now and I feel as if I'm breathing in pure, clean air. God certainly is in the business of restoration - thank you to the wonderful woman who left that comment here a while back! When I started thinking about what I'd like to write about today, the above verse jumped out at me. Isn't it amazing how you just know when you've found what God wants to communicate to you...
That is how it's become for me and I thank Him for that. Since I've started actually listening to the messages that are there for me every day, I feel as if my internal navigational system has been switched on again.
More importantly, the verse above serves to remind me to be specific about my prayer requests. To be ever thankful, in good as well as bad times. All in God's time - another line that keeps coming up for me again and again.
So today I ask the following in prayer:
~ For a marriage filled with love, respect and happiness.
~ For healing for my parents.
~ For peace and happiness in the lives of my children and siblings.
~ For consolation for one of my very good friends - on this, the day after her father's death.
~ For world peace - in every single corner of our little piece of the universe.
~ For you Jen - that the right words and thoughts come to you when you have to deliver your speeches.
~ For you, dear reader - peace and blessings in abundance on this day.
I'm so happy to have found the women at Soli Deo Gloria! I prayed, I asked, I waited. And God answered.
The right people, at the right time, delivering the right words and support. Miles and continents apart.
Thank you Lord!
