What's in a Day?

Ephesians 1:18-20 NLT  "I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called--his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance. I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God's right hand in the heavenly realms.?"

Lord,
I never know what a day will bring.  Yesterday we learned another student had been killed in the train trestle over the James River.  One dead, another badly injured.  Oh the grief!  Please comfort the families and all those who knew them.  Please instill in young ones what You said to Satan in the wilderness, "It is written: "You shall not tempt the Lord thy God."  I know we are created with free will, but Lord, please send some big strong angels to that place to keep others out.  You did it in the Garden, You can do it again.
Then we learned of a plane crash in which all passengers were killed.  The plane held a pastor and his wife and the youth pastor, his wife, and their two year old baby from the Bahamas.  they were flying to a Bible Conference.
Then I learned that You had done an amazing thing. You made it possible for Tom and Maggie to get a much needed minivan in an extraordinary way.
A sweet sister brought my pie plate back filled with scripture cards, not pie!  What a sweet gift!  It is the Bread of life with no calories!
You led several students to me that had big problems we were able to solve and untie their knots and they went away rejoicing thanks to You!
When I returned home, my wonderful hubby helped with dinner and took care of the dishes while I did laundry.  What a special gift he is to me.  Thank You, Lord!
And I found that a needy student had called my home looking for me.  He was sick and was asking me to help him get to the doctor, but I was not home, and did not get his message until after work was done. I pray You helped him, Lord.
Precious Lord,
I praise You and thank You that I never walk through my day alone.  You are ever present and give strength, grace, mercy, and wisdom as I need them.  It is futility to look into my future and to wonder what will happen and if I will have the strength and resources I will need to do Your will for the day.
You have promised to never leave me or forsake me, You pray and intercede for me daily to the Father, and have promised to provide all my needs "according to your glorious riches in Christ Jesus!"
