Show Me Lord: Asking God for His Perspective
When I don’t know what to say, I repeat this simple prayer: Show me, Lord. What do You want me to see right now? He is faithful to answer.

Kara and her husband Conrad live in Calgary, Canada, where she was a teacher for 28 years. She loves the Word of God and encourages others through her devotional writing. Kara felt led to write a book of devotionals (Searching for Sea Glass) when her journey with chronic illnesses pressed her into God’s arms of love more deeply. She prays that her journey and refinement will encourage you in your walk with God.

The ringing hammer and whirring saw blade have me thinking about renovations in my own life. I want the updated character and a more beautiful external appearance, but I often want it right now and don’t want to do the required work.
Sometimes, I feel like one of those unhealthy beanstalks, especially right now in a season of intense caregiving. I must physically stop and allow God to refuel me.
Many things may prompt us to pray for others. Social media, conversing with a friend, or even a recipe book. Pray and let them know.
