The Lord and I did an exercise together the other day I thought I would share. Last week I was in AL watching baseball, and I woke up at 4:15 AM with my mind spiraling with all the things I have between now and July 4, SO MUCH! Summer as a children's minister is no joke, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. But mind spiraling. When I wake up like that, I either spiral for a long time, actually come up with creative things, or have a good prayer time which usually puts me back to sleep. So after an hour finally got to the prayer time and went back to sleep. I was thinking as I fell asleep, these are really good things I'm praying for and I need to remember them. But of course, I couldn't remember them three hours later.
On Mother's Day, the kids were all doing their own thing and hubby was watching some sporting event, so I went outside on my porch with my Bible and journal and asked God to remind me of what I prayed about, and He gave it back to me and thought it might help you too.
I prayed very specifically about VBS coming up, and as I prayed, I either reminded myself of who God is in response to that, or He reminded me if it didn't pop in my head. And it was so helpful and comforting.
Help me set priorities and seek you first. He is Lord and wants to be first.
Help me multitask. He is my strength.
Help me not waste time. He is wise.
Help me remember details. He is not a God of chaos.
Help us gather all the people and supplies we need. He is a great provider.
Help us do what we need to do to get kids here. He is a creative God..
Help us see and bind the enemy before he gets in the way. He is the all powerful God.
Help us love people, volunteers, parents and kids. He is a God of love.
Help me not be anxious or stressed. He is a God of peace.
Could go on an on. And throughout the week if I had a spiraling thought pop in, I responded with who God is instead. Very thankful for all the things He is and how he can handle any thought I have.
