Prayer

I turn to prayer often. I pray each morning... well, most mornings, for the safety and health of my family. I pray for my classroom on the drive to school each day - for a day of patience, and for my student's protection. I pray for Isaac constantly, and for Henry, even though he is with God and doesn't really need me to pray for him. I pray for Izzie and her friends at pre-school, and for my husband and his job security. I pray for the people that I am angry or frustrated with, and for those people that I am grateful to have in my life. I pray to be less selfish and more patient (I ask for patience A LOT), and I pray for a million other tiny little things that I enter my mind on a daily basis. I sometimes wonder if God has a voicemail system set up just for me, because when I am bored, or scared, or confused, or worried... I pray.

It is Ash Wednesday, and (from the hymn Just As I Am), the day to look deep within our hearts to see the "fightings and fears within, without".

Blessings and peace during this Lenten season,
