Father God,
I thank you so much for allowing me to work with these students that are so near and dear to my heart. I think of how precious they must be to you if I think the world of them. How much more then do you love them? "For you created our inmost being; you knit us together in our mothers womb." We can do nothing that you don't already know about. You know the number of hairs on our head. You know our next step. I pray that our students felt your loving arms wrapped around them this week. I pray that that does not soon go away. I know that they grew so much this past week and I ask that you give us the wisdom to go beside them and give them tools to use outside of a camp atmosphere. I know that you are the reason that I do what I do and straying from that would only bring about hurt for myself.
I thank you that you have plans laid out for me. I want nothing more than to follow your will for my life. However, I long not to love the will of you, my God, but to love you, the God of the will. I thank you for confirming what I am doing so far with my spiritual gifting and my abilities. I want to love you and only you! May my plans lay in ruin if they are not of you. You are the Great Provider and it is through you that all things are made. I know that you will continue to provide for me. Please forgive me when I fail to keep this in the forefront of my mind. When I want to take over control. I know that you bring all things together for good.
