tuesday night prayer

For Tuesday night prayer, the person leading it gave us paper and pens to write out our prayer requests. I filled out both sides of the paper with this:

- for patience in God's sovereignty, to wait on god's time and not my own, selfish time

- kill my idolatrous nature; to stop focusing on stupid worldly things and instead have my heart and mind be focused on the gospel and how wonderful God's grace is; and as a response I should be living and breathing every second of my life for the gospel

- for outreach opportunities, not just for them but for me to be bold and not lazy, making a conscience effort to be a light and reaching out to others

- not be so lazy in everyday life, live every second for the Lord; being productive and healthy;taking care of my body, which is the temple of God

- have deeper, cross-centered relationships; not living in solitude and for my own selfish desires, caring for and loving others, investing myself into others and truly caring for them

- not show favoritism and love all equally, not treating others differently because I like them better for certain reasons

- be transparent and not so secretive; be vulnerable to others and also allow other to open up to me; to be a person who is not a rock of solitude but someone who truly lovers others and cares for their walk

- pray without ceasing, truly setting apart time to spend with my Father and lifting all that I am to Him and also praying and interceding to others, having a truly unselfish heart towards those around me; their lives, problems, prayers, petitions, etc.

- for my Arizona trip, for You to truly prepare my heart to be a leader; take things in complete seriousness

- for my future trip to Tanzania/Uganda, whatever You have planned and trusting in Your sovereignty
