When I read Psalm 20 and 21 again, I realized the only reason my thoughts this morning  could be pleasing to God is because amidst the chaos in my brain, I am chasing Him.   

Lord, please soften my heart and spirit to not be so defensive.   I feel my mind and body exploding and it’s tough to not just erupt in tears. Instead of erupting in anger, hurt or resentment, please help me overflow in love so I may be a better instrument for you. 

I ask for Your supernatural protection over my children and all the kids at Super Summer.  May they feel you in mighty big ways and truly get to know you on a more intimate and meaningful level.  

Please keep inviting my mother back into your arms.  Assure her of your love and my own in ways she has never accepted.  Please give me direction on how to heal or improve my relationship with her. 

My final petition for today in for our marriage, Father God.  May Mark and I both remember and adopt the spirit of our thoughts being redirected to you.  May the thoughts in our hearts and the words On our lips reflect David’d prose honoring you in Psalm 20.  May our thoughts and words worship you, Lord, God.  May our chasing you bridge the gap between us.  Please show me how to love my husband better, Lord.  

I love you.  I am so grateful I have a chance to begin again today, on my knees.  I trust you will show me how to walk and carry you in my heart and spirit today.  In Jesus Name, I pray.
