Heavenly Father, good morning. Thank you for flowers. Thank you for the tulips that we have in a vase in our kitchen. And thank you for the wonder before our grandkids eyes when we put blue food coloring in the water in the vase and the next day the white tulips were turning blue and the yellow tulips turning a bit green. Thank you for children who can show us how we should look at the kingdom of heaven. And thank you for the scripture to use for today’s prayer for your daughter Lindsey:
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. (Matthew 24:14)
Lord, I’m here again, and what a joy to know that you will be here when I come to sit with you. I am ready to pray for your daughter that you love! Lindsey, you are already going into all the world and all nations. I pray that everywhere you go you can just continue being you, and that the gospel will shine forth without any extra effort on your part. I pray that just being you will reveal your zeal for your God and that it would be something that others want to have as well. You can join with the children who also reveal aspects of the kingdom, for Jesus told us to be like the little children! And we will give the glory to God. All the glory is his. I pray this in the name and authority of Christ Jesus, King of kings. Amen
