Nothing but Christ Jesus and Him crucified

Hello friends! Today, I would really appreciate your prayers. I will be speaking at the WATCH homeschool conference and I need prayer in a few specific areas. Please pray that I would...
1. Have a right heart. Please pray that I would remember the words in 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 "But He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.'" Please pray that I would remember that God works more clearly through my weaknesses.
2. Do it all for Jesus. Please be in prayer that the only thing that I would desire to know is "Christ Jesus and Him crucified." I've been trying to dwell over 1 Corinthians 2:1-5 recently, and they are wonderful verses. The Apostle Paul writes to the Corinthians about how he first came. 2:2 "For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and Him crufied. I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling. My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power."
3. Do well! Pray that God would use this speech and use me even though I am weak.
Thank you for your prayers.
