Good morning, Father! Thank you for so much variety in my life, from my work to my food to my exercise to my leisure activities and with whom I spend my time. :D Thank you for good, solid progress on my main project, plus little bits of attention given to my smaller projects, slowly building this website behind the scenes. :) Thank you for my health and that of my Mate and my children. Please bless us with your peace this day, and help us learn more about you, about your people, and about ourselves. Help us grow in appreciation of your awesome creation, and give us HOPE for our futures. Amen.

Jeremiah 29:11 ERV

I say this because I know the plans that I have for you.” This message is from the LORD. “I have good plans for you. I don’t plan to hurt you. I plan to give you hope and a good future.

Psalm 40:5-11 ERV

LORD my God, you have done many amazing things! You have made great plans for us—too many to list. I could talk on and on about them, because there are too many to count. Lord, you made me understand this: You don’t really want sacrifices and grain offerings. You don’t want burnt offerings and sin offerings. So I said, “Here I am, ready to do what was written about me in the book. My God, I am happy to do whatever you want. I never stop thinking about your teachings.” I told the good news of victory to the people in the great assembly. And, LORD, you know that I will never stop telling that good news. I told about the good things you did. I did not hide these things in my heart. I spoke of how you can be trusted to save us. I did not hide your love and loyalty from those in the great assembly. LORD, do not hide your mercy from me. Let your love and loyalty always protect me.

Father, I thank you for blessing me so abundantly, so that I truly do have every little thing that I need. You surprise me every day! Yesterday morning, I woke up and started praying for your provision, because I have bills coming and had no money to pay them. Yet by the time I even made it onto my laptop, I found that you had provided even more money than what I actually needed. You provided “introvert time” — time alone in my little camper, so I could have total peace and quiet to take the next steps in my big project. When I got burned out from that, you provided a way for me to get AWAY from my laptop and spend the rest of the day relaxing with friends. Late at night, you provided mutual entertainment for my Mate and myself — and our crazy antics even provided entertainment for a dear friend! It was FUN balancing little household objects from tabletop up almost to the low ceiling on the slideout, lol. I wish I had better pictures of our silly creations, but it is something the three of us will not likely forget anyways, hahaha. THANK YOU for my awesome Mate, and please keep him safe and FREE and light today while he helps another friend. Amen. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for your amazing care of little me. Lead on, faithful Shepherd!

Back to Fran's BLOG Praying with the Word FranLaff.com/BLOG

I have used this little pic to represent my prayer blog since February 2017. It’s a good mix of things that are ME: nature, worship, surrendering self… plus a solid dose of modernity and technology, as I believe this little box-human is one of the Amazon-style graphics that were popular at the time that I found it. Not sure who created this pic, but I do believe I found it on Pixabay, where NO attribution or credit is needed. However, I am quite willing to be corrected if I am mistaken. 😉 🙂 😄 :O>
