* I feel sad. I am not sure why. But there is a sense of sadness and a sense of grief in my heart. I just saw the E-mail from XJ again and the sadness deepened. Dear LORD, I remember that there was a time when I too was uncomfortable to disclose my identity in You. Dear LORD, how it must have grieved YOU so. Dear LORD, will you draw my friend clear to you? Will you give me wisdom and boldness in my daily living as one of yours. Dear LORD, you know my heart and my desire to share the gospel with other, for it has touched my heart so. Dear LORD, thank you for saving me. Dear LORD, will you bless my friends, believers and unbelievers alike, as you have so blessed me? I pray for the opening of hearts to respond to your love. I pray for the opening of ears to hear your message and the opening of eyes to see you face and the opening of mouths to proclaim your name and your transforming power.
* Dear LORD, prepare my heart for the trip. Prepare my heart to the conference. Keep me from all evil and distraction. Draw me close to your heart as I draw close to you. Speak to me and mold me and shape me. Provide for me and sustain me with your sufficient grace. Use me and comfort me in you, and you alone. Whet my appetite for you and you alone that all else will be bland.
* Dear LORD, I pray for MH and AL that you will prepare their hearts and you will provide a time for me to share the 4SL with them. I pray for Y and L that you will be working in their hearts as well that they will be open to your good news. I pray for GY that she may know that it is not self-will and strength but your power and enabling that make all the difference.
* Dear LORD, I pray for my parents. Will you bless them and send them people to talk with them about spiritual things? Will you reveal your love to them and their needs for you? Dear LORD, will you be with them and pour your mercy and grace on them? Dear LORD, I ask for their souls. Dear LORD, touch their hearts and save them.
* Dear LORD, I do pray for my heart. Please do protect and guard my heart until the right time and only for the right person. Dear LORD, will you protect and guard his heart as well until the time is right and until we shall finally meet? Grow Him as you grow me in you. Raise him up as the godly man you has ordained him to be and a spiritual leader for the family-to-be. Shape me into the graceful godly woman you made me to be and a suitable helpmate for him. Dear LORD, prepare us for the time that we shall finally come together and serve you together hand in hand and serve each other and others as well.
* Dear LORD, please do be with SH and comfort her heart. Speak to her in a sweet whisper. Help her to see herself as you see her. Restore her and keep her purity for you and for the one you have ordained for her.
In His sweetest, glorious name, with all my heart, Amen!
