ah lord GOD

Lord your dizziness is everywhere and your color is able to fill in our darkness or drabness...
give us eyes to see and ears to hear!
give us a passion for faithfullness and an eagerness for love love, more love!
God, forgive me for my selfishness in wishing my dear sister Caitlin Daniel to stay with me always and to never leave my side..
you have prepared her for Great Things and she is in your hand.
God, as she gets on a plane and fishes through her heart for the strength to make it over the sea, Lord, sit her on your lap and hum to her so softly and make it a dear time of hope.
she is anointed Lord. i know you made sure that happened before she set off, so
in Jesus' Name, get that darkness off her heart so that she may perfectly love you and worthily magnify your Holy Name!
make her feel ready for anything, capable, energized, awake, intentional.
help me to be faithful to her in prayer, God.
she is so precious to You.
You are with her.
You are there.
You Are.

AMEN
