Oh, and I forgot to add... I pulled out all the paper clutter and the file box today and am looking at it over there on my table, ready to have a go at tossing out everything that has no meaning for me, and filing the rest.

I hope I'll have a happy peaceful day. No, let's elevate that. I'm praying .... Heavenly Father, you know the days I've seen and the nervous anxiety when Satan attacks me through demon possessed people. Lord, I leave them to You for healing, judgment or instruction - but ask You also to bless me with Your peace that's beyond all understanding. Lord, I pray for a peaceful happy day. This is the first day of school in our town and I pray that every one of those students is richly blessed with happiness with their teachers and playmates. I pray for an end to bullying in our schools, and an opportunity for every child to learn in safety without emotional distress caused by other students. I pray for these children to have compassion and to care for every student there, to offer their love and friendship to others. Lord, I pray for a great school year even for the homeschooling students. Lord, bless those homeschooling students with the educational opportunities and learning moments they need, to be able to become fully functioning adults working creatively and productively. Yes, I pray for all these young people to learn professions that will keep them financially stable. Help them to be good workers and to take delight in serving others and thereby serving You. Bless them with great growing Faith... Lord, and I pray they are blessed with Your salvation at the moment you offer it to them. Hallelujah, I am so grateful you saved me, and I pray others find the joy and peace You have for them. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen!
