Don't Blame Me

About a month ago I put together a prayer calendar. I put it together arbitrarily, making a list according to my Facebook Prayer Team page, and ordered it 1-60. The first member got place number 1, the second got place 2, and so on. But I made the calendar on the 20^th, so I started praying for person in spot 20. I didn’t know when these people would need prayer. I had no idea that in five days person 25 would need prayer on the 25^th of May. I just made a list and started praying.

People are blessed by it. People tell me, “Wow, I really needed that today.” And I always wonder what I should say. I had nothing to do with the order of the list. God did. Who is the King of the universe? God is. Who owns the earth and everything in it? God does. Who owns Facebook and its algorithms? God does. Who prompted me to make a calendar on that day and start praying? God did. Who ordered all things for the good of those who love Him and are called according to his purpose? God did.

It’s cool to see how God is blessing people. It’s cool to see how he works. It’s cool to see his plan worked out in a way that breathes life, love, and hope into the body of Christ. 

Things to pray for:

I've had a very slow week. It's been a little lazy and irresponsible and rebellious. Please pray that I would not weary of doing good and would put to use the wonderful Spirit of self-discipline that God has given me. 

Boldness and opportunity to share the gospel.

Sleep and rest. Because you see, when I go to bed late, I get tired. When I get tired, I get headaches. When I get headaches, I get angry. When I get angry, I don't want to see anyone. When I don't want to see anyone, how can I do the work of God? Please also pray for wisdom about priorities so I can know when I need to make sleep a priority and when I should let it slide because I need to do something else.
