I prayed these prayers:
Search Me.. "Lord God I pray that whatever thing I have carried around with me that is keeping me from you, I lay it at your feet. Lord I pray you expose those things that hinder me from a closer relationship with you, wheather it be material possessions, gossip, selfishness, even laziness Lord take it out of my life. Whatever burdens I have carried for so long, take them from me God so that I can better serve you."
Stretch Me.."Father I want to continue to grow in your likeness. I only want to strive to be better. I never want to feel like I 've made it but Lord I want to feel like you have something for me around every corner as long as I pursue you and your ways I know you will meet me there. Help me to be selfless, not intrigued with the things of this world but help me to be about eternal things."
Lead Me.."Father God through theses last few weeks I have been in your presence so much! you have been with me every step of the day, in every scripture, in every prayer, in the presence and hearts of others. I have seen your goodness and I pray that I can continue to deny self, deny self. Lead me God to understand your ways and to truly be dead and only alive in Christ."
"Father in your word Psalm 26:13 it says "I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living." Father I love this so much because you have shown your goodness to me in the land of the living. Lord the ladies at NSCOfC, I can learn so much from, many are mentors and friends. I love each of them uniquely and I am so thankful to be so blessed with their companionship on this trip. God prepare each of us. Search each of us, stretch each of us and lead each of us to submit to your ways and do your work. Help us be about your business always and no in anyone else's. I love you lord. ITS IN YOUR SONS MOST HOLY NAME I PRAY, Amen."

Well said, Misty. Well said. I am encouraged and I hope others are, too. This is good and well thought through stuff. Thanks.
Misty,
It is obvious that you are in such a time of growth and closeness to our Lord right now. The words you share shine God's wonderful Light so brightly. He is using you in a powerful way, and I know He will continue because you are walking so closely with Him, seeking Him and loving Him. Thanks for sharing the details of your 40 day walk. It is super encouraging! Romania will receive a gift through all you ladies who are going.
