After I read my Proverbs 31 devotion this morning, I was encouraged and challenged to make my own "grown up Christmas list." Only this Christmas list would not be one written to Santa asking him for all of the "things" that I hope to get this year; it would be one written to Jesus, asking desperately for His will to be done throughout the coming year. Here are some things I included on my list...
- Health for my friends, my family, and me
- Healing from any past wounds
- Financial stability for everyone
- Growth and perseverance for my church, Kinetic
- Joy that only comes from God
- Job security for everyone
- Motivation to be healthier all year
- Strong marriages for all of my family/friends getting married this year
These are just some of the things that I wish for the year 2010. Most of all I pray that God's perfect will be done in my life and in the lives of those around me.
"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in a ll circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." "I Thessalonians 5:16-18
"This, then, is how you should pray: 'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.'" Matthew 6:9-10,
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." Philippians 4:6
