(otherwise known as the things in life that are worrying me a lot and I am trying to remember the verses “in everything, with prayer and petition, present your requests to the Lord” but not doing so great on that one.)

Dear God,

Please let my dog get successful exported to Australia.

And if you could find us an affordable, pet friendly house to rent in Sydney that would be good too. 

Please let my husband get the job he applied for.

And let me get a job too.

Give our politicians enough wisdom to see that cutting our Foreign Aid budget is a terrible idea.

While you’re at it, feel free to bring back K-Rudd. I always liked him.

Fix my doubt.

And my tendency to stress about the future.

And all the potholes in Tonga, they need to be fixed too.

Help Drew be motivated to finish his report on time.

And find enough scripture teachers for Bible in Schools in Tonga.

Give me motivation to finish my resource manual.

And my co-workers renewed commitment to turn up to training days. 

Help me to be better at forgiving people. 

And remind me on the terrible, no good, very bad days, that you have my back.
