Ole Hallesby wrote in "Prayer" that 'only the helpless can truly pray' and he called helplessness the driving force of prayer. I see this thought parallelled in the Bible story of Jehoshaphat's Prayer in 2. Chronicles 20:
"For we are powerless against this great horde that is coming against us. We do not know what to do"
Amen. God bless your family. May God’s power be made perfect in weakness.
P.s. I bet that little girl of yours is going to end up being a remarkable genius, but needs very little sleep! Our little nephew was that way too - he loved life too much to go to bed! Now he is a very successful adult. (And he has red hair too!)

And then the beautiful final phrase:
"but our eyes are on you.”
Amen!

That's what we're thinking, too!
