A Prayer.

Why do I doubt? You have always answered my prayers and yet I am always taken aback. I've been asking you for months about a place to live and for someone to share that with. God you are so faithful and you have answered both of these prayers. Thank you for reminding me how wonderful and giving you are.

Lord thank you for friends to get together with. Even though I may not have a family here, and when I miss having siblings around I am blessed with friends to share special occasions with. Please continue to send people into my life to encourage and fellowship with. There is no other time when I feel your love more than when I am with others who love you as I do and are worshipping you with their lives. Please bless the families here in the Philippines for the sacrifices they have made to be here, and the people they have touched.

Please continue to make me into a more devoted servant. I am here to serve you, and I want to touch the lives of my students. Please give me the wisdom to pass on to them, and so I may better serve you. Teach me what it is like to be a disciplined devoted servant. Give me discipline. Show me my weaknesses so that I may better serve you.

You are always faithful Lord and I am learning to depend on you with everything that I have and with my future.

"We're depending on God;

He's everything we need.

What's more, our hearts brim with joy

since we're taken for our own His holy name.

Love us, God, with all you've got-

that's what we're depending on (Psalm 33: 20-22)."

In your precious holy name, Amen.
