Assignment

So, I guess you are really sick of my homework, but I can't help it. I don't know where else to journal. :) So here goes. Today I need to write down my prayers. You don't have to read if you don't want to.

Dear Lord,


Everything is starting to seem so hectic. I can't ever focus on my prayers. I start and then my mind wanders, and I am really sorry about that. I just want to thank you for allowing me to stay at college here. I am so tired of trying to find the funds and trying to come up with some money so that I can stay. The fact that my grandparents church is willing to give me money astounds me. How you could have put it on their hearts to be willing to give money to someone most of them do not know is so touching. I just don't know what to say about it. Lord, I want to thank you for everyone here at college. They are all so kind and no one is condescending or rude to me. I love working as a cashier in the kitchen on campus because I get to see so many faces, and can maybe bring a smile to a few of them. 


You have given me so much and I have given so little in return. I guess what I am trying to say is I don't know what to say. You have blessed me to the fullest extent and I can't give anything in return.


I would like to pray for a few things, and I know that you don't keep tabs of such things, but I want to thank you in advance. Please I pray for 3 people that I met online at powertochange.com. Thank you for allowing me to be a mentor there and I just pray that everyone that I meet will be willing to listen to what you have to say through me. Help Lou Lou with her addiction lord and help her realize that you love her and will help her overcome that addiction. Be with Cher as she struggles with deaths in her family who were not followers of you. And calm PC as she books an appointment with the doctor and discoveres why she is feeling so terrible all the time. Lord God I just pra that you will help these three women in their struggles and allow them to draw closer to you in their times of need.


I would like to thank you for my brother, for it is his birthday today, and you love him dearly. I just would like to ask that you would give him and his wife a good day and that he would feel your presence as he is beginning to age lol. 


I also would like to pray for the girls in my dorm unit at college. M is really struggling with addiction, and K is healing. L is trying to overcome the past. The rest of the girls - J, J, A, N, D, A, T haven't shared yet, but Lord I pray that you will guide their hearts and minds to know what you desire for them to share and that you will help others to understand what they are going through and comfort them. 


Thank you so much Lord, and I just pray that your will be done, and that you will have your hand in everything I mentioned  today.

Struggling, but happy,
Not-So-Princess Lizzy

Amen
