The Next Chapter
This year is already shown its ups and downs. Up - 5 months without drinking. Down - my daughter was exposed to some YouTube stuff I wish she didn't see, creating a long long night while we processed and prayed together. It doesn't really matter what she saw, it was a lesson. Right or wrong other parents parent differently than I do, and my rules are not their rules. And vice versa. We cannot shelter our kids from this world forever, but we would like to. After CT and 911 the horrors of reality are all to real...
This morning I am grateful for my faith, and the life lesson I taught my daughter last night was to give it to God and pray in every situation. Today I pray for my friends as they mourn a loss, and for Jamie pursuing her dreams with her book, and for many many others, I often text "thinking of you" ~ this is code for God put you on my heart and I am praying for you........
Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. ~ 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Prayer For A Friend - Casting Crowns
Lord, I lift my friend to You, I've done all that I know to do
I lift my friend to You
Complicated circumstances have clouded his view
Lord, I lift my friend up to You
I fear that I won't have the words that he needs to hear
I pray for Your wisdom, oh God, and a heart that's sincere
Lord, I lift my friend up to You
Lord, I lift my friend to You
My best friend in the world, I know he means much more to You
I want so much to help him, but this is something he has to do
And Lord, I lift my friend up to You
'cause there's a way that seems so right to him
But You know where that leads
He's becoming a puppet of the world, too blind to see the strings
Lord, I lift my friend up to You
My friend up to You
Lord, I lift my friend to You, I've done all that I know to do
I lift my friend to You
