This is the confidence we have in approaching God:
that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask--
we know that we have what we asked of him.
1 John 5:14-15

“Inside the snow globe on my father's desk, there was a penguin wearing a red-and-white-striped scarf.  When I was little my father would pull me into his lap and reach for the snow globe.
He would turn it over, letting all the snow collect on the top, then quickly invert it. The two of us watched the snow fall gently around the penguin.  The penguin was alone in there, I thought, and I worried for him.  When I told my father this, he said, "Don't worry, Susie; he has a nice life. 
He's trapped in a perfect world.”   Alice Sebold, The Lovely Bones

What would the inside of your snow globe look like?

It is only when the whole heart is gripped with the passion of prayer that the life-giving fire descends, for none but the earnest man gets access to the ear of God.
Author: E.M. Bounds

You are more than a misshaped piece of wood,
you are one of God's children and have a purpose.

Look beyond the brokenness and move forward,
don't avoid the fire. Face it and let your soul burn for God!

What is one thing you do as a family on Sunday?

And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don't know what
God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that
cannot be expressed in words.
Romans 8:26 NLT

Maybe it's not envy...it's grief.
What do you think?

I had & sometimes still do, author envy!

A heart at peace gives life to the body,
    but envy rots the bones.
Proverbs 14:30 NIV

"Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you.
For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works,
which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Therefore confess your sins to each other and
pray for each other so that you may be healed.
The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective."
Proverbs 4:25; Ephesians 2:10; James 5:16

I am the vine; you are the branches.
If you remain in me and I in you,
you will bear much fruit;
apart from me you can do nothing.
If you do not remain in me,
you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers;
such branches are picked up,
thrown into the fire and burned.
If you remain in me and my words remain in you,
ask whatever you wish,
and it will be done for you.
This is to my Father’s glory, 
that you bear much fruit,
showing yourselves to be my disciples.
John 15:5-8 NIV
