Prayer needs June 20, 2008

Please pray that this weekend goes well. That we won’t have a lot of problems with the boys and that they will know they are loved. This is a time to pour into them and serve them. It’s a chance for them to get away for a bit until they move into their new home. The Lord has really been teaching me a lot. So often I feel like I don’t do enough for Him, that I will never be able to give Him what He deserves. Like I have to reach a goal to be used by Him. Lately He has been teaching me that I don’t always have to be doing; He sometimes just simply wants me to be. He wants me to completely soak up His presence and just love. We have all heard “Love your neighbor as yourself.” It’s sometimes easier said than done although it sounds so simple. I can be selfish and think about my agenda instead of theirs. Pray that the Lord will continue to work on me and give me a selfless, servant heart. Waking up each morning and knowing I am here to serve is GREAT. I can be His hands and feet and that is what I want without my busy schedule getting in the way.
