40 Days of Prayer - Day 39 (1 Day Left!)

Thursday, July 23, 2009

We leave tomorrow night! Wow. I am trusting God to allow us to experience him like never before.

The next 60 hours or so will be trying. Finishing up last minute details at work and home before we leave are always stressful. Normally, everything that can go wrong, will go wrong – about 4 o’clock tomorrow afternoon. We will have problems at the airport – something – we can count on it. We will have a long layover – bad food – rude, nosy, or loud seat companions on the flights. But if we are ready, God can use us through all of those. If we handle the adversities that will arise with a Christlike spirit, then He will be glorified!

So, Today, (although I rarely do this), let’s pray for patience. Patience with our co-workers or bosses or clients. Patience with our family. Patience with each other. Patience with workers we will encounter and patience with other travelers. God will give us the peace to not only endure distractions and delays, but to relish them and to use them to his Glory.
