I posted a prayer request early this morning that is not here. It’s still needed.
Please pray for a young woman who needs to keep an appointment this morning–that she would follow through and the Lord would be glorified. Please work on the hard heart of a young man. Please pray for a young teenager who has been broken and abandoned, and possibly destroyed, by her own mother–who has demons of her own that are lashing out at those who would help the girl.
And pray for me as I teach on demons this morning.
” … Difficulty does not mean desertion. If there was a better situation to be in at the present moment then divine love and wisdom would have put you there. All things are good for your soul and abound for God’s glory.”
I read the prayer requests which make my own see silly. I have been very “unsettled” the past two day. I have no reason for this that I can find. I just need to feel at peace. I need to figure out why and find peace.
My Bible study went very well, lots of conversation. Next week I’ve invited one of the pastors in for Q&A since I don’t want to tackle spiritual warfare on my own . . . . Thanks for prayers. Won’t know about the others for some time, if ever. I had my ladies pray as well and they’re dynamos!
The afternoon was tough. Pretty much what little amount of self confidence I had is being eroded bit by bit. At work I am non existent. I am not considered an agent, but I am not an employee of the company. There were other things that happened that made me feel inadequate and stupid. I have worked on 3 different PowerPoint marketing packages for weeks, but every time I send it to Guy for review he comes back with another change. I just can’t do anything right.
Maybe I just need to go to bed and hope for a better day tomorrow.
Kim, if it helps . . . every time I look at something I have written or created, I see something else that needs to be changed. It isn’t personal, it’s just part of the process. Guy doesn’t sound fun to work with (for example, you shouldn’t be “on call” for trivial matters when you’re on vacation), but one thing you know is that he values your job skills. Now, he may need to show it in more practical ways, but that’s a different issue!
For years, as a planner, husband was developing and revising and then revising again and again as different bosses or clients came up with new necessary options. As Cheryl mentioned, just part of the process and clearly he does value you or you would not be there.

Things are very heavy out here this morning.
Thanks.

Please pray for my close friends from this church and a doctor and nurse in Ukarumpa. They are trying to arrange flights home as his brother has died.

Isn’t it wonderful that God cares about our seemingly-silly requests, too? (And no, Kim, I don’t think that’s silly.)
