Lord God, You are seated above, enthroned in all Your glory over all creation. Brilliant and white are Your clothes; Your splendor displayed for the nations. You are triumphant over evil desires and sin. Father, You call me to the same holiness. I am unworthy of the calling and unable to live up to Your calling on my own. Jesus, humble me and from that humbleness draw me out; replace me with Your love and holiness and forgiveness and righteousness and mercy and grace. Let it abound in me. May You, Lord, find favor in me because of what Christ has accomplished before You. Lord God, please watch over me. Do not let my temper spur on my anger; keep it in line, Father. May I be an encouragement to Jess. Continue, O Lord, to draw her to You. Continue to lead her to Your Word. Give her the love she needs for her students and to put up with my stupidity. God, may she count my love among her blessings as I have counted her love. I want so much to marry her right now. I know that wasn't Your will when I proposed and still isn't now. But it is frustrating to know when to propose, but not when to marry. I pray there was a purpose for not knowing every detail. Lord God, please make haste in announcing marriage between Jess and I. I long for our union, for our ministry to each other and along side each other. Also, Father, I do not know where Your call on my life lies right now. I don't know how I'm going to pay for college either. May I find the comfort I need in You and in Jess. I love You, my Lord and God. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray.
