The evening J House wrap up

Lord, thank you for speaking to me about my identity. Thank you that it must be rooted in you 100%. May money, others' opinions - perceived and reality- not become my center. But may you be my center. I surrender my money, relationships, work, self image/confidence, food, possessions, freedom to you. Make your home in every part of my house for your glory.

May my (financial) security rest in you, not my income/paycheck. Both in a lot and a little money - may I be content knowing that ALL good things come from you. So, do not worry... Even when I am financially independent, may I remember these truths.

May I honor you in how I give generously and sacrificially and faithfully to your work and others. May I budget these expenses and actively carry them out. Where you guide, you provide.

Give me a passion for the lost, broken, outsider, poor, oppressed. Help me to use my time, talent, and treasure to serve these people who are in front of me. Give me your eyes/heart of compassion and mercy. May I not grow cold to the hurting. Help me to actively work on their behalf. Guide me. Help me to share with others boldly.

morning journal

Thank you Lord for a new day. Thank you for meeting me early in the morning and for the time to meditate on your word last night in the car. May your words live in me and may they be continually on my tongue. Renew my mind...so I might know your will (Rom. 12) Teach me your truth. May my deepest motivations be made clear and surrendered to you. May all that I am and all that I do be for your utmost glory. Lord, show me your calling on my life and help me not to miss out on what is directly in front of me.

Prepare me/my heart for England. Open up the doors for what you want to do in my life.
Help me to seek 1st your kingdom / righteousness.

Pour out your spirit on Maggie and Anna today, Lord. Show them more of yourself. May they grow closer to you today. Guide and direct their paths. Give us compassion for the lost. Thank you for renewing my compassion/leadership desire/inspiration...Lord, lead me if I am to start a Bible Study at work or go to Amsterdam full time after school.

May I only walk in your peace and calling for my life. Reign in me today, Jesus.

Draw Mom and Dad closer to you and to each other.

Help me to serve others. How can I help them spiritually / life / business? - needs to be my thought when I meet them.

How can I mentor others - Jeremy, Sm. Gp: Curtis, Eric~ ...
