Not the bees knees

Dear God,

I am not the bees knees. Lord, in comparison to you, I am absolutely nothing. Just nothing...just so totally consumed by your awesome glory that there is no room for me.

I love. I love. I love your Presence.

I used to think I was the bees knees. Earlier today.

But after spending time with you, I see just how huge you are...actually, that's inaccurate. I don't even begin to see how huge you are. I only see as far as I can see, and I see that you go farther.

Dear God, my friend is not doing well at all. She told me that she just found out her MRI reveals that her brain shows signs of Alzheimer's even though she is not old. She has only told her husband and me. I don't know what to do. She's scared. I'm scared too. But I'm scared because she doesn't have a relationship with you.

Lord, please break through. Open her eyes so that she can see Christ was broken for her. Christ BROKE for her. She is broken but so were you. You were broken so she doesn't have to be.

Lord, may she encounter your love. I pray for her. Jesus. Come save her. Save her, LORD. You are so so good. You are SO good. You are ALWAYS good. So so good. Even when awful things happen. You are so good. I know you're good in this situation because she told me and now I am praying for her. You love her and you are loving her through me.

When I pray for her in groups of friends, please be there. Please be present and fill our prayers with Your words. I know there is power when two or more gather pray. Please pour out your power, Lord. Please keep Becky safe in this time of uncertainty. Please may she turn to You.

In Jesus Name,
Amen
