Nothing fancy, but it’s heartfelt.

Simple.

Honest.

And I think He’s listening, because it seems to be working.

Lord, give me a task that no one else can do.

Then when those instances come, what I might think is a nuisance or an interruption to normal life, I’m more apt to respond with a YES, because I’m getting what I asked Him to give me.

Something only I can do.

Me . . . Monica, a homeschooling mom with a desire beyond the walls of my home, to change the world – or at least a desire for making an impact in the lives of others, to be on the front lines in the battle.

These are only first thoughts on this subject: I have a feeling I’ll be writing a lot more on this simple prayer. I need a way to look back to see how far the Lord takes me on this.

This is another post inspired by The Missional Mom (Living With Purpose at Home and in the World) by Helen Lee.
