Good morning, Father! THANK YOU for getting me up bright and early, eager to write, to work, to build, to learn, to GROW! :D Please help me do all that YOU wish for me to accomplish today, and please help me be able to take a nap if my less-than-five hours of sleep turn out to be inadequate for the day. I simply did NOT want to waste hours in my van, trying to sleep… when I have so MUCH to DO! THANK YOU, Lord, for helping me finally get DONE with the Spanish stuff I did this past week, and please bless my efforts. YOU know my needs, Lord. Please help me create a video or two later this morning, and other promotional materials throughout the next days and weeks… and please help me transition over into working more on my 10.05 birthday project. After I finish this tiny RAMBLE, I plan to write a BIT or two for the 10.05 page. I look forward to creating all day with you, Creator!

Psalm 51:10-19 ERV

God, create a pure heart in me, and make my spirit strong again. Don’t push me away or take your Holy Spirit from me. Your help made me so happy. Give me that joy again. Make my spirit strong and ready to obey you. I will teach the guilty how you want them to live, and the sinners will come back to you. God, spare me from the punishment of death. My God, you are the one who saves me! Let me sing about all the good things you do for me! My Lord, I will open my mouth and sing your praises! You don’t really want sacrifices, or I would give them to you. The sacrifice that God wants is a humble spirit. God, you will not turn away someone who comes with a humble heart and is willing to obey you. God, please be good to Zion. Rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. Then you can enjoy the kind of sacrifices you want. You will receive whole burnt offerings, and people will again offer bulls on your altar.

Lord, I don’t really know what a “clean heart” looks like… but I DO feel the most PURE here, on this piece of land where I was born, where I first got to know you as “He who OWNS all this” — in the first five years of my life. It is DELIGHTFUL to go walking each evening, down by the creek — or at least near it and back up onto higher ground, while this flooding has got even the deer changing their habits, lol. THANK YOU for the cinquefoils and their little “minute pirate bugs” (Orius spp.) that I learned about last night. Perhaps I can transfer pics over to my laptop and use one for the featured pic on this ramble… Lord! There are just soooooo many things I want to DO, all at once!! Please help me use my time and my mind and all my other resources wisely. Help me to develop some type of routine, or at least some way of encouraging consistency in myself — in my writing and in my exercise, in my learning, and in building my site and working on all my projects. When my “real job” starts — probably this coming week — I ask you to not let it derail my other projects and goals. Please help me to stay founded on the ROCK that is CHRIST — and allow the Spirit to keep me focused, alert, diligent, and at PEACE. Amen.

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>
