a favor

 


Happy Tuesday, friends! I've had some technical issues with my internet at home this week, which is partly why I'm not sharing here early in the morning as usual. Yesterday time just got completely away from me as I literally ran errands and was busy all day long. I was at my Mom's for dinner last night, which is why I didn't write this post last night, even though by then my internet was back up and running. 


I say all that to ask a favor: I know many of you pray for me pretty regularly, and I'm so thankful for that! Will you pray specifically for me today? It's a big day in relation to my current life circumstance, and it's one I've been dreading. Now that it's here I'm relieved, so that I can get it behind me, but I have no idea what is in store for today. I anticipate it being long and drawn out, so if you feel led to pray for me, here's what I'm asking for specifically:


  • to be led by the Holy Spirit
  • to have strength for the day and in the days to come
  • for God to work in and direct the hearts of those present today (Proverbs 21:1)
  • for me to remember to trust in God's perfect and sovereign plan for my life
  • for me to accept and walk toward whatever His will is for my life, whatever that may look like
  • grace upon grace
  • for me to be able to continue to walk in forgiveness toward the healing that needs to happen in my own heart
  • for the joy of the Lord to be evident in my life today, and for God to use me in whatever way He sees fit

I should be back to regular posting tomorrow. Thank you in advance for praying for me today! Love to all.


Jenn 🖤


P.S. I'll leave you with my favorite verse and what I prayed for today in my life as I spent time with Jesus at my kitchen table this morning:


Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding; in all your ways know Him, and He will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6


P.P.S. I'm going to share the song that my friend texted me late last night; it's an older one, but it's so good! It's called Tell Your Heart to Beat Again by Danny Gokey.

    1. Thank you for taking the time to comment today, and especially for your prayers! I have to say that I did feel the love of God today; He was near to me this morning as I read His word (I'm in Job), and He encouraged me with one of the verses. ❤️❤️
