Prayer Request
Dear God,
I thank You for gently working on my healing. As a mother who is far from home and working abroad, my heart is often gripped by anxiety as I think about my children’s welfare. Yet I realize how limited I am, so I place my complete trust in You.
You are the Creator of heaven and earth, and nothing is hidden from Your sight. You are mindful of my life; You know me by name, and You already know what lies ahead for my children. When my peace is shaken by things I fear and never wished to happen, remind me that You are still in control.
Lord, please help me release these burdens. I long to live in peace. Strengthen me so I may overcome the emotions that steal my joy. Create in me a clean heart, O Lord, and let everything in my life be pleasing to You. I humbly ask for Your mercy and grace—I need You every hour.
Walk with me and transform my heart and mind. Take Your rightful place in my life so that others may see You through me. Help me to do my work faithfully, bringing glory to Your name and fulfilling the purpose for which You have placed me in this foreign land. Teach me not just to survive, but to truly live.
Lead me, Abba, to the place where You want me to be. I entrust to You my dream of working in another country so I may pay my debts and better support my family. But if this is not aligned with Your will, let it pass, and grant me a willing heart to accept Your plan.
I surrender everything to You, Father. Thank You for Your unfailing love, Your guidance, and Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
Amen.

What a wonderful prayer! I think the Lord would like to hear your prayer and your thanks from all of us. You are very good at creating beautiful words from your heart. I know it's not easy being far from home. I don't know how long your assignment will last, but one suggestion I have is not to go home without seeing all the places you could. Years ago, I was living close enough to take a quick flight to Alaska, where I always wanted to go. Something would always crop up, and I ended up going back to the East Coast. I have never seen Alaska and likely never will. So I had a chance to see Alaska, but I didn't jump at the chance. I will never have that chance again. Don't go home with regrets as I had. Enjoy your time away and take advantage of seeing everything you can. God bless you.
