Jesus, I surrender that prodigal to you. I cannot make them come back to you. I cannot compel them to reconcile. I cannot make choices for them. It’s painful to watch them deconstruct and self-destruct. It hurts my heart. So here I am, praying for them. You love them far more than I do. Leave the 99 and chase them, please. Reveal yourself to them in dreams. Send other Christ followers into their lives. Heal any hurt they’ve experienced by the church. Give them a longing for you, even though they may not be able to articulate that longing. Rescue them, I pray. Amen.

Thank you @comparedtowho for your amazing coaching

Thank you @comparedtowho for your amazing coaching in December. I’m so grateful to be pursuing a more grateful, balanced relationship with food.

These crepes are amazing, by the way.

1 egg
1 ripe banana
About 1/3 cup milk (I use almond)
1/3 cup almond flour
2/3 cup tapioca flour
Pinch of salt

Whir this in a blender. Pour 1/4 into hat greased pan, swirl, wait til no wet spots appear, flip. Repeat three more times to make four crepes. Top with whatever you want. The chocolate hazelnut spread is called @rigonidiasiago organic hazelnut spread. I found it on Amazon. I’ve also enjoyed TBH hazelnut chocolate spread also via @amazon. I just don’t like how sweet the other commercial spreads are. I guess my time in France has tempered my “sweet” tooth. (Their desserts, interestingly, are about half as sweet as US desserts).

Anyway, if you need help with body image and your relationship with food, I hugely recommend Heather. And she has a workbook coming out with @bethany_house_nonfiction soon! Watch for it.

Jesus, I surrender my friendships to you. It’s hard for me to say goodbye to some. Show me when to let go and when to hold on. Keep my heart open for new relationships you send my way. I don’t want to close off my heart in the aftermath of a broken friendship. Would you repair what’s been broken? Would you give me insight into myself so I can be an empathetic, cheerleading friend for others? Thank you that even if my friends move or move on, you are always my best friend, and you will never leave me or betray me. Amen

Jesus, I surrender my sin to you. Please forgive me for not taking it seriously. Help me internalize what my selfishness and pride has cost you. Thank you for going to the cross in order to pay for my sin once and for all. Help me understand that when I come to you with my confession, you have forgiven me. I don’t want to live in self-condemnation anymore. And Lord, I once again give you that sin I keep struggling with. I confess that I cannot tackle this on my own, in my strength.
