Wednesday morning I make my way down to Flordia, right outside of Orlando for a mission trip to Give Kids The World. It is part of the Make a Wish Foundation and is a huge resort for Kids who have a life-threatening illness.I cannot wait to be down there. I know going into this trip that it is going to be emotionally draining but that isnt my biggest worry or obstacle that I will be facing. While we are down there we arent allowed to speak about God unless someone brings it up first. When they first told us that, it was something really hard to understand. I am so used to going to Mexico or wherever and the whole point of the trip is to spread the name of God. Trying to process this through my mind I knew I had to go straight to God with this. God filled my mind with the perfect thoughts and mind set of going into this.
Abba Father,
I pray for the trip down to Give Kids the World, despite the fact that we cant speak of you, your name is still able to be heard! May we love those kids with your love Father. Open my eyes to the things unseen. Even though some of the people may not know you and thats hard for us to process, God let me know that you know what you are doing and the best thing we can do is pray because prayer changes things. Make me strong God, let your joy flow out of me, in hopes of letting people see you. Just because we cant speak of you, that doesnt make you unpresent. You are always with me. I pray that I seek out your strength and your love. You have put each of us on this team for a reason and im so excited about what you are going to do. Prepare our hearts Oh Lord...Let me go unafraid...
