-Persecuted Christians :( MAN how do we hold on to hope and see that God is good and wise when I see that my brothers and sisters are being persecuted and killed in Iraq... so so so heavy on me. What to pray: miraculous protection, ways to flee from persecutors and hunters, provision of a home and safety for refugees, that persecutors very much like paul would come to faith and be transformed to love Jesus Christ, that believers would persevere, be strengthened and continue to witness the Gospel.
-Lately, I definitely havent been going to God with prayer requests unless someone tells me, then I immediately do so. I havent made the time, have been lazy, complacent, busy, unfocused, distracted...and simply I dont come to God because I dont believe He will answer me in His good and perfect way. Things that are really really important to me i pray for like twice and i give up... I need to fervently and persistently be praying to God my needs of my hearts knowing He will answer every single time. Keep knocking. Keep asking.
-Keep me accountable! I want to not just meetup with a bajillion people throughout my week and talk about God, but really encourage them in the word, be in the bible, and even my own reading, be reading, praying, filling my soul with truth and life giving scripture!!!! I really need to get better at this- not because itll give me a better salvation, but because my joy in Christ will grow.
-Honoring my parents is difficult at times- but worth the testing of my patience, emotions, for the glory of the Lord. Trying my best to be a light as they struggle to see my POV on certain things and my stage of life. Will continue my best to love them them the best I can so they will see what a gracious, all providing and all sovereign God I believe in :D
