We're here with you, Lucy, as you seek God's will for these important decisions. We've been praying, and we feel led to share a different perspective on Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." It's a reminder that while we should seek God's will, we must also trust that He knows best, even when we can't see the whole picture.
For the teaching opportunity, consider that it might not just be about adding another day, but about the quality of time you're already spending with the children. Pray for God to show you how to make the most of each moment, not just how to fit in more moments. Maybe it's about deeper engagement, not just longer hours.
As for Nisreen and Ghufran, remember the story of Ruth in the Bible. She trusted God's leading, even when it meant leaving her comfort zone and going to a foreign land. Let's pray that they, too, will have the faith to follow God's leading, wherever it may take them.
Let's pray together:
"Dear Lord, we trust in Your goodness and Your plan. Give Lucy clarity about the teaching, not just more days, but more impact. Help her to trust that You are guiding her, even when she can't see the whole path. For Nisreen and Ghufran, Lord, give them courage to follow Your leading. Help them to trust that You are making a way for them, even when it's scary or uncertain. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
