Busyness

It's a really busy time of year for us right now Lord.

I pray that during this time we take time to honour each other and treat each other with respect and kindness. And understand that we are all under pressure, all busy within out own lives and all trying our best.

I pray for safety for the farmers as they work hard and long hours to get the crop in. I pray for favourable weather and no breakdowns during this often stressful time.

Thank you for the health and happiness of my family at the moment. Kym is recovering from his flu and I am grateful for that. Thank you for Stephanie's more positive frame of mind. I pray that through this experience she has felt you nearby and will one day look to you for a close and meaningful relationship. Thank you for the lovely young man that Scott is growing into. I pray that I can guide him to be a kind, and loving man, just like his dad.

I pray for Scott's and my safety in the coming week as we travel to Adelaide. I pray that Scott will enjoy his tennis and that he will learn from the experience and grow in confidence. Thank you for giving him this opportunity.

I feel I've let myself drift from you Lord. Help me to get back on track and look to you first and foremost every day.

Lelia

Lord I lift Lelia and her family up to you right now.

Show them your love. Let them feel your comforting arms around them. Help Alyssa to understand and feel your love also. She has proclaimed her love for you before, let her do it again.

Please be with Lelia as she guides her family through this difficult time. Help her to show love, grace and forgiveness toward her daughter.

I pray that this will be the experience to bring her home Lord. Home to her family and home to You.
