Lord, I bring my family to you today. I pray that one day they can all worship you and know the joy that comes with that. I pray that my husband can one day come back into your arms and feel the security there. I pray that my Son won't drift away as he grows older and will continue to come to church and enjoy his time spent there, and learn about you and know how much you love him. I pray that my daughter can come back to you Lord. I pray that she can navigate the teenage years without compromising herself. I also pray that she can grow into a confident young woman who has a love of life and a love for you.
And then there is me Lord. I am filled with so many insecurities. Help me to leave my worries at your feet Lord. Help me to be the best wife and mother I can be and give my children God centred advice and guidance. Help me also to know and understand when you are speaking to me Lord. Help me to know your voice and your wisdom. I also need help with forgiveness Lord. I always thought I was pretty good at it but have come to realise that i am harbouring resentment toward my husband for not being the person I want him to be. That is so selfish and I ask your forgiveness and your guidance with that.
Live Well

Amen. Dear sister, you are not alone, believe me. Sometimes prayer seems to take a backseat to most everything else. Know that others have this same struggle. At those times, praying becomes a pleasing sacrifice to God.
One thing I did to help is to begin praying while I am outside exercising. I carry along a slip of paper with 10 or so prayer needs written on it and i just walk and talk to God about those needs. I really do some of my most intense praying during that time.
Have a great one!!

Thanks Leah....are you saying I have to exercise now? My goodness! Just kidding. I do enjoy long walks and usually listen to my Ipod durning this time, your idea is a great one.
