Prayer Challenge Day 23

Setting my mind on Him:

Pray through Scripture:
  • Psalm 18
  • James 1

Confession:
  • Privacy - I too often feel a right to "my" things, "my" time, forgetting it all belongs to Him

Heart of Gratitude:
  • Colossians 3:15 - peace and thankfulness go hand in hand

Prayer burdens:
  • My safety as I go about my days
  • Husband's scheduling both in and around work
  • Kids' peacefulness
  • Outreach to have a bold witness

Response:
I was reminded today that prayer is the real work. Just as Epaphras lived out in Colossians 4:12, we must struggle through prayer for those that need it. I'm in this for the long haul, for the eternal reward. We're not promised an easy life, but we are promised the ultimate victory. Of that we can be assured.  I keep pressing on. Christ set the example, nailed to the cross by His love for me. Surely I can make it through another day.

Thank you, Lord, for your deep, deep love. Thank you for the promise of victory. Thank you for bringing before just the passage of Scripture I need to thrive today. You are a good Father. ~Amen
