May the Lord release his goodness and his sense of fun over us all.

Setting down the burdens we maybe don't know we're carrying.
The thesaurus, listening for the whispers of the Lord, and being okay with experimenting.
An example of how the Lord goes before and supplies all our needs and ministers grace.
Whether ending a fast early, starting a farm, or stopping an ordination process.
Asking the Lord to speak to our identity.
Praying for the ability to continue to walk the narrow path, with focus and clarity.
Worship is beautiful, but in a time of intensive prayer, turn to praise. I've been listening to "No One Like the Lord" for some days now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DjKbUQfe9U
Not loving the idea of surprises? What if it's time to watch for boxes of blessings?
When we pray, expect something to happen!
Pondering this statement. Is it true? Is it true in all circumstances?
Prayers for the humanity of intensive prayer: peace to the choppy waters, and expulsion of the things that need to be expelled.
Prayers for all who are carrying a lot.
A variation on accusation: my human inability to be perfect creates disaster. (With a prayer from the life of Peter.)

My friend's adventures at the 100-mile horse ride.

If I just did this, surely everything would change … or maybe not.
Consider a checkup of body, soul, and spirit.
An example of what it looks like to enter in to freedom.
Not usually my natural response when things go wonky … but an exciting direction to consider!
An impartation for thinking outside the box, and moving forward despite (almost) impossible situations.

One of the longer versions of the story of my prayer life begins with Season 1, Episode 37.
Which is a lot easier than it sounds, until you get enemies.
I hadn't heard about this until I was in my 40s, but this is definitely a direction in prayer to avoid.
A testimony from a friend: saying no to the pillars of salt.
A surprising conclusion … was not expecting how this conversation would go.
Going through my filing cabinet gave me a new perspective on the Lord's love for me.
Does it matter if the prayer comes out loud or quietly?
Lord, may we walk in our identity, and not be distracted or torpedoed.
