to Jesus, fully human:

i feel pretty now, but a few hours from now i probably won't. take my focus away from worldly beauty and turn it toward true beauty. re-turn my focus to my relationship with You. may i be spiritually strong, whatever that means. may i do Your work instead of trying to keep myself safe. may i eat whatever i eat to Your glory, and may i not be too obsesses with calories.

thank You for colors, for dried cranberries, for orange juice, for clouds, for sunsets and sunrises, for wool and down and fur, for Your Word, for good books, for all the wonders that You put into creation that we haven't discovered yet, for friends and family, for neighbors, for children, for love, for laughter, for the grace and mercy that are overflowing from You, for light, for dogs, for water, for life.

may we all guard our hearts and be wise in Your eyes. may Isreal prosper. may Jerusalem be beautiful and strong. may You be glorified and praised. o, that You would bless W indeed. may the house be healthy. may H heal. may E know her dreams will come true - may she not be anxious. protect L and give him a passion and pleasure in what he does each day. give M a good attitude and peace. may i be clean. may S return to You. may P and her family and Z and her family trust You. rescue my family. may the college group grow and abound in love and faithfulness. may the church be healthy. may we all pray without ceasing.

may i worship You Whom i adore
