I've been using Phyllis Tickle's version of the Daily Offices for the last few weeks (or, I should say, I've resumed the habit). Compline might be my favorite office. I love that there's confession before slumber-- it relieves me of all the dumbshit things I've done during the day (that I'd otherwise fret about once the lights go out).
I suppose this points to a specific prayer request of you this week: wiser decisions during the day (and less guilt about old stuff).
Can I pray for you this week? Is there anything that will help you rest easier?

Yes, please. This has been a pastorally needy week here, and it just keeps coming. I need prayers as i walk through the Valleys with these people... Grace and peace for them, and for me.

ReplyDeleteMy own marriage is in jeopardy and could make it so that I won't make it to seminary. But I guess just make me open to whatever happens is what I need help praying. Sometimes writing it makes me feel better.
Big stuff, ladies. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to pray over you.
