May Prayer Requests
This is it! The last week of internship! Life is about to take some significant upheavals as we travel this month to London, Ottawa then Minneapolis. Your prayers for our safety and some of the following specifics are truly appreciated. We could not do this alone.
For Gavin: There are many changes ahead, many things out of my control, many things that are needed that I cannot personally provide. I need more of His wisdom and grace in this month for. Please pray that I would continue to trust and seek the Lord in all things.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight.
~ Proverbs 3.5-6
For Tara: God’s promise to me for this time of upheaval and transition came through the tender song ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’ beautifully redone by Johnny Cash and Fiona Apple. He will lay Himself down, like a bridge over troubled water, and make a way for me to pass through these turbulent waters of change. I have peace that surpasses understanding because He is my Source, my Hope, my All.
So if you pray anything for me, pray that I will simply rest in Who He is. That I will surrender all my fear so I might fully embrace Him Who carries me.
Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.
My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.
Psalm 63.7-8
For Eden: We’ll try to keep things ‘normal’ for as long as we can, but the day will come when we leave and much will change. God’s grace has been upon Eden from the moment she sparkled into existence and will go with her every moment of her life. Thank you for praying specifically for her as the Holy Spirit leads you.

My Friends,
As each day passes into a new one, may your fellowship with the Lord be refreshed.
My prayers are with all of you, as the changes you experience bless you in unexpected and joyful ways.
For Gavin.
His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. ~ Lamentations 3:22,23
For Tara.
Hear my voice, O God, in my meditation; preserve my life from fear of the enemy.~ Psalm 64:1
For Eden.
By You I have been upheld from birth; You are He who took me out of my mother’s womb.
My praise shall be continually of You. I have become a wonder to many,
But You are my strong refuge. Let my mouth be filled with Your praise
And with Your glory all the day. ~ Psalm 71:6-8
