John 11: 28 - 44
Lord Jesus in this passage today I read of your human nature, not your physical human nature, but your emotional human nature. You shared the pain of Martha nd Mary. Lord Jesus you share my pain too and I thank you that I can bring all things to you with confidence because you care. Lord help me know what I need so I may ask for it.

John 11: 17-27
I love this account of Martha's complete trust in Jesus and the appropriate intamcy that is demonstrated. She has complete confidence in who Jesus is and the purposes he has been called to acomplish. She lays no blame at his feet for not arriving sooner. Lord Jesus help me develop this absolute confidence in your ability to deal with my circumstances.

John 11: 1-16
Father I am not sure why you allow suffering and pain yet I know that through it your glory and compassion are shown and your grace and love are demonstrated. Lord God I pray for those I konw expereincing pain at the moment, especially Ruth, Tom and Rachael. Lord God I ask that you would be close to them and that they and I may be reassured by your care and that your word shows that you honour suffering and pain.

John 10: 31-42
Father God as I reflect ack over the past couple of years I thank you for answered prayer. I ask Father that you would inspire meto ask you for miracles that demonstrate your divine nature that removes any doubt from my mind. Father help me to reflect more upon the miracles I see in my own life.

Psalm 19
This Psalm speaks of 4 ways that you reveal yourself to me Father god. Through creation, through your word the bible, through relationship and through conscience, clearly Holy Spirit plays a huge part in conveying all of these to me. Lord I pray that through this week you would allow me to find time to meditate upon you to know you better than I do right now.

James 3: 13-18
I am aagain reminded that wisdom will be evident in my life, not by what I know, but by what I do. I ask today Father God that you wold give me more wisdom, therfore change my actions, in the areas of parenthood and finance.

Proverbs 3: 13-35
I understand that wisdom comes by doing God's will and as I do his will then I will become more like him - more wise. I recognise today that the only way for me to live wisely is by doing your will. Help me Father to know yur will through Holy Spirit and through your word and therefore be changed into the person you would have me be.

Proverns 3: 1-12
The teaching here in proverbs is about living and not knowing. Will you enable me Father to live wisely because of a deep rooted knowledge of you and of scripture. Thank you that wisdom comes in many ways
- teaching
- love and faithfulness
- trust in the Lord
- honouring the Lord with our wealth
- responding to discipline
Help me gain more wisdon Father by being open to you and living out this teaching.

Proverbs 2
Ftaher in my search for wisdom I must first come to you, the author of all that is wise. Lord would you help me to know you more and more. Would you work on myheart that my desires may become fully in line with yours. Lord through my desire to change I pray that you would make me more wise.

Proverbs 1: 20-33
Father, in this passage, wisdom is personified. Lord I thank you that when you walked the earth you demonstrated complete wisdom. Holy Spirit I thank you that you help me gain wisdon through the word but also through expereinces. Father I ask that you would help me recognise when I need to call upon you for extra wisdom.
