A Beautiful Prayer

I read this prayer on Wendy Blight's blog today and thought it was worth sharing. Especially as we pray for Alaynna Ritchey's nephew, Gerard and a baby that I have been praying for, Stellan (you can read about Stellan here).

Heavenly Father, so many of us kneel before Your throne in heaven knowing You are the God of Heaven's Armies, the Great I AM, the Almighty God. We believe in You. We love You, Lord. But in our place of wait, in our place of sorrow and confusion, we need help with our unbelief. Help us to surrender our questions to You, to really and truly leave them with You. Help us to trust in You with all our hearts, to lean not on our own understanding (or the understanding of others like doctors, friends, family), but in all our ways help us acknowledge You and believe You when You promise that You will direct our paths. Direct our paths today, Lord. In clear and obvious ways reveal to us that You are at work in our midst. Thank You that You care deeply about every detail in our lives. Thank You that You are sovereign over every circumstance. Thank You that You are never surprised. Thank You that You are ABLE. We await wisdom, direction, and a mighty work of Your Hand.

Alecia,

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today. And thank you for sharing my prayer with others to pray for another precious child of God. What a blessing that we can unite together, having never met, in prayer.

Sweet blessings to you,

Wendy
