It’s after 1 am and I’m still at work. It’s just been one of those days where it seemed like nothing went right – the enemy wouldn’t leave me alone, and I’ve felt defeated, overwhelmed, and TIRED.
It’s my own fault. I’ve got a few too many passions in life, and I have a hard time saying no. I love to be on the go all the time, and I want to use everything I have – every idea, gift, talent, and ability – and take every opportunity that comes along. It just seems sometimes that everything collides – suddenly I find myself with way too much on my plate and no where near enough time to do it all! It’s been months since this has happened, and I’ve gotten a lot better as I’ve grown older at prioritizing, scheduling, etc. However, this weekend and next week is one of those times when everything is running together…
My schedule is crazy. I desperately want to be effective in raising money for the orphans I love, which leads to me take on a little too much here in the beginning stages of it all. I’m also feeling the pressure to get my support raised – I’m still in desperate need of monthly supporters to meet my May 15th deadline.
In the midst of all the stress and pressure – Satan has decided to attack however he can… so, to be honest, it’s just been a rough day.
But in the midst of it all, I keep hearing
2 Chronicles 7:14 in my mind-
And so, I’m asking you to pray. It’s humbling, to say the least. I didn’t want to write this blog – I’d rather share the amazing things the Lord is teaching me, or the exciting news about our new program to raise money for orphans. I’d rather smile and pretend like everything is okay. I’d rather not admit that I’m needy right now…
But the truth is, I NEED PRAYER.
As humbling as it is, I’m admitting that right now I’m weak, and in need of your prayer. Would you please pray for me today, and the next few days to come? Please pray for productivity. Please pray I can get everything done that needs to be done. Please pray for Him to bless the works of my hands, and to create divine appointments in His favor. Please pray for strength, health, and for the Lord to sustain me. Please pray for Him to encourage my heart, and for sweet sleep. And please pray that God would bind the enemy away from me – pray against attacks on my heart, mind, and soul – and from attacks on tangible things (back to the ‘nothing seems to work’ – computers, etc). And above all, please pray that my eyes will remain focused on Him – steadfast and unwavering!
Thank you all SO much for lifting me up! I am resting in the knowledge that when I am weak, He is strong.
