Job 42:5

“My ears had heard of you, but now my eyes have seen you.”

This is my prayer this year. It’s dangerous, I know…but I am more afraid not to pray it than the circumstances of praying for it. It could mean a difficult road ahead…and who am I kidding…I won’t be prepared…but I want God this year more than last year. I want to be able to say “He is enough”.

My prayer and hope is that this year I will be able to finish some of things that I have started. I want to finish the fictional book that I started writing last year for my kids. I also have another book that God is birthing within in me for this year...but I am overwhelmed in my heart to finish what I started before tackling something new. So a few things are on my radar...but none match my first ambition...

To know God greater than ever before...to include Him more into my life than I have been. To spend more time in prayer with Him than I have been. To live the Gospel greater than I can preach it. All I want is Him and Him alone...to know Him with greater understanding...to love Him with more of my heart...to see His plan and purposes fulfilled upon the earth...and to be a part of it...however big or small. To be grateful for everything; good times and suffering.

Teach me, Father...your ways...
