Prayer Monday, May 30, 2011

Crystal over at A Life In Ordinary has requested a bit of a change in the way we do Prayer Monday.  So, I am going to follow suit.  She has asked us to do the following instead of writing a prayer at the end:

 1.  Share where you are and what's going on with you (i.e. prayer requests).
 2.  Visit each participant's page and pray for them in that moment and leave a comment.

I am currently asking God how He wants to use me next.  He is definitely already using me in some very important areas but I feel like there is more He wants me to do.  When He speaks to me I want step up and do what He asks; no matter how uncomfortable it may be for me.  I fear I am become complacent with the things He has already entrusted to me.  

I am also struggling with a fear of raising my son right.  I am a perfectionist and this is not helping me at all.  I want to be a perfect parent but I know there is no such thing.  Please pray that I accept the times I am bound to make parenting mistakes and I learn from them.  Also, pray that we find the method of discipline that will work for all of us.  He is a good kid so hopefully I won't have to discipline often.   God has given me this little blessing and I want to be a good steward of that gift.  Pray that I find peace in that we are raising him with God as his foundation and that I entrust him completely to God.  I also need to remember I am not doing this alone.  I have my husband and God helping me out.

I could go on and on about things God is working out in me but I will save of that for another time.  I am praying that He continues His work in all of us.
