Exodus 21:22-23:13; Matthew 24:1-28; Psalm 29:1-11; Proverbs 7:6-23 (Easy-to-Read Version)

 

I pray Lord that my heart will yearn for your word as it has in the past.  That I would see you face to face in the pages of your word.  That I would meditate on what you are saying.  That I would find hope, purpose and direction for the path you have before me.  Lord, I pain for the trial that still lay before me.  I pain for the struggle of my flesh to look for happiness rather than your peace and joy.  Hold me fast.  That I may not sin against you in thought or deed.  Help me Lord for this season of waiting is long and I am weak.

Lord I thank you for the proverb today.  It so eloquently describes the temptation of the flesh.  Thank you as I have just written up instruction/boundaries for my kids in regards to the opposite sex.
