Praying
Last night Emeline told me to write in the blog that there was no prayer needed for her anymore as she had already found friends in school. Simple child’s logic - prayer request achieved, let’s move on to the next subject. But it’s not just children who think this way. I guess I do exactly the same thing. I have a long list of prayer requests (or should I call them worries?), which I faithfully present to God. As God answers those prayers or changes cirumstances I tick things off, move on and worry about the next thing.
Of course I told Emeline, that we can still pray and thank God that she has found new friends and enjoys going to school. I just wish I would remember this part myself. I’m sure if I was to focus more on the way in which God has so faithfully guided me to this point in my life and often answered prayers in ways that I could never have imagined my current worries and stresses would lose some of their importance and would have less of a negative influence on my life.
So, today some thank you notes instead of requests.
