ok
well, Father, Byx has been there long enough for the newness to have worn off. Now it’s all about the people.
As he continues to face the overwhelming need, the incredible damage to the country & her people that hasn’t even been addressed, & as he sees his own finiteness & limitations, both unintentional, & intentional, help him to just depend on You.
Help him to do as You say in Psalm 37:7 “be still in the presence of the Lord & wait for Him to act” Translation: shut up & wait. Help him to be quiet & wait for You to do what You wanna do, rather than him trying to MAKE happen what he thinks You want to have happen.
Guard his heart. Keep him safe. And help him to remember that even though he’s far away, with some people he’s close bc his home is in our hearts.
Thanks, Father, for looking out for him. Protect him from the evil forces so rampant around him – either the temporal ones, or the demonic ones.
Amen…
