Placing Hope?

“And so, Lord where do I put my hope? My only hope is in you. Rescue me from my rebellion, for even fools mock me when I rebel.”

Psalm 39:7-8

My hope is in God.... Not myself.


I guess this post is more for me than anyone else. I’m in dire need of prayer.

As life creeps closer to the time when I am scheduled to leave, I can’t help but feel like I’m not ready for this.


Please pray for my mental and spiritual preparation for the trip. Pray that I’d live my life in a way that honors Jesus, because I know I don’t most of the time. I try, but my sin nature is a strong one. Pray that I’d be a better friend. That God would give me uncontainable love that spills over, out of the valves of my heart. I am hungry, I have tasted what God has to offer. I want it. Pray for a thirst for Jesus. I don’t want to just know ABOUT Him. I want to KNOW Him! I want to EXPERIENCE Him!


As much as I want to be close to God, I still seem to make the same mistakes that draw me further away. That’s the main thing that I need prayer for.


Thank you.
