Get Well, Darling

Lord, since nothing called out to me today from the reading, instead I pray for my wife. She has been working far too hard, to the point of illness and exhaustion. I know that is not your will. Therefore, lord, I pray for three specific items.

First, I pray for her physical health today. Please simply remove the cold she has. I am not saying to help her recover, but please miraculously take it way and make her body well. Return her strength and remove this distraction, so she can specifically serve you and others with energy and gladness.

Second, you are aware of the shortcomings of others, and they are weakening your body by required inappropriate energy. Lord, I pray that you remove that individual from the staff immediately. Evergreen Church would be better without that position filled at all, than with that individual holding the job. Please resolve this situation now.

Finally, lord, I pray for the rest of my wife's team. Continue to make her work an enjoyable place, filled with people she loves. Help some of them grow into new responsibilities to which you have called them ... you called them, now please prepare them. Give all of them the fruits of the spirit to continue to show patience and joy with and to each other. They work hard - keep them working well together in your body.

Amen

And now a final thought for my wonderful wife!
