Prayer Requests

A couple of days ago I asked God to help me come up with some prayer requests to share with my community group, thinking I'd get one or two, but he gave me a lot more than that, so I thought I'd share them with all of you.  Here they are, in no particular order.

 - Pray for these next weeks as I'm taking a summer class and not going to be able to see my friends as much.

 - Pray for my memory.  I've noticed it getting worse again over the last few weeks.  I'm having a hard time remembering conversations with people, or even what I did a couple of days ago.  I'm worried this will affect my performance in my summer class.

 - Pray for my time with Jen (my psychologist.)  It's really hard for me to go, and I don't really like it, but it's good for me.

 - Pray I would keep fighting.  I think I may be depressed again, and medicine could possibly help, but I think if I went back on it, I'd stop fighting to fix things (beliefs, lies, etc.)

 - Pray I would learn to believe truth in my heart, instead of just knowing it in my head.

 - Pray that I would handle the Feys move well.  They move today, and I'm not sure it's really hit me yet.  But I'm going to have to find something else to do on Tuesday afternoon.

 - Pray for good time in the WORD, and that I would continually seek truth and believe it.

 - Pray that I would be able to see how far I've come and how much God has changed me in the past few months (and years.)

 - Pray that I would continually be overcoming fear by running to God instead.

 - Pray that I would manage my finances more wisely.  That I would learn to steward them well, the way God wants me to, and then actually do that.

 - Pray I would find out where I fit in my church, and where I should be serving.  I usually help with the children's ministry, or nursery ministry, but I have a strong sense that I'm supposed to be doing something else.  Pray that I would begin to learn what my spiritual gifts are and find a place to use them to God's glory.

 - Pray I wouldn't feel guilty asking for, and hopefully receiving love, affirmation, and especially prayer.

Explanation

Just in case you didn't get my second e-mail and are wondering why you have to sign in to read my blog, I'm going to post my explanation again here.



I'm going to try to re-start my blog.  This time I'm doing something a little differently and making it private.  I plan on posting updates (hopefully weekly) on how I'm doing, truths I'm learning, and prayer requests.  You don't have to read them, but you got an invitation because I trust you enough to show you these postings.  Because I made the blog private, you will have to sign in to be able to read it, I'm sorry about that, but I thought this way I could be honest without having to worry about random people seeing my junk.

I also have an opportunity for you to help me out if you want to.  I'm going to try to post weekly.  I would like your help in holding me accountable to this, at least for the first couple of months, then I'll re-evaluate.

Please let me know if you think of anyone else who may wish to see these posts.  I don't have everyone's e-mail address, so I couldn't add some people.  And thanks for caring enough to read this.
