Happy Monday Morning!!
S - Luke 11:2-4, 13 Jesus said this is how you should pray, Father may your name be kept holy, may your kingdom come soon. Give us each day the food we need, and forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us. And don't let us yield to temptation. So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him.
O - Prayer doesn't have to be complicated. I make it complicated a lot of times. When we pray simply with praise and respect and bring our needs not "greeds" (i thought that was funny in the video) he listens. Remembering to forgive others will open up my prayer life to more intimacy.
A - Prayer has been exhausting lately for me. I'm realizing that many times I'm begging out of desperation for the people I love and that's not what he wants from me. He wants faith in my requests and not anxiousness. I'm learning to be more calm in my prayers and definitely more specific. Instead of feeling anxious I'm asking him to show me the little steps that are getting me to what I've asked him for.
P - Lord I praise you for forgiveness and I praise you for listening and caring about our needs and requests for others. Help me as I pray today to be calm and speak to you in faith,
Hope your weeds got attacked Ginny! We didn't get to race Saturday, long story but it was OK because I got to rest all day Saturday and I really needed that. Hope your 5K was good. Speaking of prayer, we are praying for dry weather so that our guys can plant. We have to get our corn planted by April 20th. Praying for God to calm the guys anxiousness. The German Heritage festival is in a week and I hope to do that 5K! I would love to go a little faster! In May Rachel, Amy McCormick Kemmer, and I are going to do a Mud Run! Pretty excited about that! And I'm still trying to loose 40 pounds! Hope you Monday is great at the bank.
One more thing...it looks like nobody is listed as administrator on our blog. I'm going to see if everyone will give me their log in information so I can check just in case someone missed it. If we can't find the adminsitrator we have to create a new blog and I have someone that can transfer ALL of our stuff from this blog to the new one! So, if you don't mind can u text me your log in info?
Weeds are gone! Yea! It had strung out to like a 3 week project so I am so glad they are done. It's a good feeling!
ReplyDeleteO.K. your mud run sounds so fun! Especially with a fun group of gals! I have heard of those, but never done one. You'll have to tell me all about it!
Have a great week and praying the rain stops & things dry up in time for the 20th. I'm gonna add Almyra to my favorites on my weather app, so when I scroll through the weather in the mornings, I'll remember to pray.
