I'm at that point again, you know the one where you're stepping off a cliff and trusting God will catch you before you splatter at the bottom of the canyon floor? Its equally the scariest and most exciting place to be...the place where I put my entire life into the hands of the one who molded me. Please catch me Jesus.
"But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint"
~Isaiah 40:31
I'll give my life to receive it. You have proved your faithfulness time and time again....and I trust your plans are good, forgive me for knowing these things about you and still feeling scared. Lord, replace my anxiety with courage and give me wings...you can do anything. Strengthen me to be the mother and provider of my children no matter how overwhelming that job title is...fill me with mercy and compassion for them and the strength the discipline and nurture them ...keep me patient and humble. I want to be formed to you and I feel like my measurements don't fit the mold...circumcise me Lord and bring me back!!!
I was baptized with your holy spirit 4 years ago...today I was baptized with water. I am committed to you Lord even though I stumble and fall...you're the one I want...the only one who can satisfy my thirst and sustain my life.
Lord, I'm praying for help at work, can I petition you to fill the vacancy and bless me with a partner who I have compatibility with? Lord, a friend to work alongside with and encourage?...a chance to testify to your great name?...and the chance to get back to working a 40 hour work week instead of this 70 hour deal that is overwhelming me and taking me away from my home where I'm needed. Forgive me for treating my home as a "second job"...I know my children are only second to you and you put them first.. Lord, pour your blessing on my life abundantly. I trust you.
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men" ~Colossians 3:23
Let me live this verse at work and at home, and take rest in you when I'm exhausted.
