Please pray for me.

When you serve as a Christian arbitrator, you sit in the seat of both jury as judge.
You hear evidence and decide what happened (facts).
You apply biblical law, statutory civil law, and case law to the facts (rulings).
You require people to take certain actions (orders).

This is a heavy burden!
A load of responsibility.
Before God.
The parties.
The Case Administrator.

I’m sitting here at 9:00 at night and my heart is heavy.
Having labored for hours and hours, days and days … I am tempted to give up.
“It’s too hard!” “I can’t do it!” “I want to quit. Back out of my commitment.”
(But not really.)

I despair of myself and run to Christ.
 “Give me grace to persevere,” I pray.

“Help me to be wise with the wisdom that comes from Heaven.
Work Your will in me so that I do justice for your glory.
Protect everyone involved from my inadequacies!
Help me,” I pray.

(He does! He does!)

And so …
Back to work.

Please pray for me.

Thank you!

Your friend,
Tara B.
