more sleep

Blessed God,

Thank You! I asked You for more sleep. And You provided. In such a big way. Thank You.

Thank You for the added rest that was needed for us to be able tackle the “elephant” we currently have taking over our household.

Thank You for such a kind and considerate spouse. One who has been loving and patient enough to wait with me for You to move us in Your direction of order for our living environment.

Thank You that even here I get to look to Your Word (1 Corinthians 14:40) and ask You to teach us how to do all things “decently and in order.”

Thank You that in turning to this passage in The Life Recovery Bible I am again able to read the comment reminding me of the importance of working together.

Keep working in each of us Blessed Lord. Teach us how best to live in healthy interdependence with others. Building one another up. Meeting each others' needs. Loving selflessly as Paul proposed all those years ago. “Restoring our broken, dysfunctional relationships, turning them into healthy interdependent ones.”

Yes, Father, continue doing all You must in, through, by, for and with us. Returning us to the people You would have us be. We love You so very much and we depend on You for clarity. Direction. Ambition. And ability.

Now about this elephant. The one that needs to be eaten one bite at time... Guide, direct and give us the strength and courage it's going to take in getting us back on YOUR track for us.

We love You. We thank You. And we pray all this in Your Son's most precious name. Thank You. Amen.
