Pray for What?

Hi Boardies,

A very close friend of mine questioned the specifity of what I was praying for, referring to Steve's transfer. She asked me if I was doing God's job, was I the director now? How do I know staying in Bravo was a good idea? She was right and I was humbled.

Only God knows what's going on, who should be with who, and who belongs where and doing what. Pray for God's protection for Steve, she suggested. And let God decide where he goes.
She is right. She sent me the following:

"As we go through the day we pause, when agitated or doubtful, and ask for the right thought or action. We constantly remind ourselves we are no longer running the show, humbly saying to ourselves many times each day "Thy will be done.""

So now I pray only for the knowlege of God's will and the strength and power to carry that out.

My prayers goes out to you and Steve. I too have a friend named Steve in the Hawaii Army National Guards who is a Major.

I have not heard from him in a while. But I suppose if your Steve is being deployed, then I am pretty sure my friend Steve is going to be deployed also.

So my prayers go out to you and both Steve's.

Aloha No Ka Kou,

Lei
