Due BEFORE Thursday, 9/7/17
Hello, and welcome to the Creative Writing class at KEYS!
This is your first homework assignment, and it is designed to help you navigate your way to this homework blog so that you're sure to know how to use it once class starts on Thursday, 9/7.
DO NOT BE OVERWHELMED! I know this seems like a lot right now, but you'll get the hang of it very soon!
(NOTE: Please always read the homework assignments carefully and be sure you have done all that is required of you!)
Each year, throughout the school year, I pray for each of my students by name. I pray for you whenever the Lord brings you to mind, but I also pray for you systematically, one each on a particular day of each month throughout the year. I make a list of things you have asked me to pray for you, and I do so regularly.
Your first assignment is as follows:
As soon as is practical, please email me with a list of things you'd like me to pray for you over the course of this year. This list can include specific requests, but I would also like you to spend some time thinking of general things you'd like the Lord to do for you this school year that I can be praying for you each month. (You may click on the link in the right sidebar to email me, or type my email address into the address line yourself. Either way will work.)
A sample list of the kinds of things you might send me appears below. (These are actual examples from previous student prayer emails I have received.)
* Pray that I would love the Lord with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength.
* Pray that I would stand firm in righteousness. I especially need strength to be honest all the time.
* Pray that I wouldn't be too concerned about my appearance.
* Pray that I would stop yelling at my siblings when I get angry at them.
* Pray that I would be diligent in my school work and keep a good schedule.
* Pray that I would sleep better at night.
* Pray that my dad would get the new job he applied for.
* Pray for my grandma (Joan) who has thyroid cancer and doesn't know the Lord, that she would get saved and be healed.
Please don't copy this list. This is just an example to get you thinking. Think of particular things that you would like prayer for and send me those. Your list should contain at least five (5) items.
I will cut-and-paste the list you give me into a prayer partner app I use on my iPad, and I will pray faithfully each month for the things you've asked me to pray for you. (The app is private and protected, so no one else will see your requests except me.) Of course, you may feel free to email me at any time to ask me to pray for other things as the school year goes along.
I look forward to sharing this school year with you!
