Father God I thank you and praise you for this day. I thank you for the wonderful sunshine and the nice outside temperatures. I praise you for the green grass in my yard. I thank you for the home we have. I thank you for my wife and her gracious love. I thank you for my little boys. I pray your healing touch for my oldest. I pray you comfort him in his frustrations. May his bone heal even faster than the doctors could ever imagine. I ask that you would also comfort my youngest. He has been so grumpy. Show Angie and I how to be the kind of parents they need us to be. Heal Angie's migraine. Restore her to full health.

I lift Angie up to you. I pray for her mind, body and spirit. Show her your will for her ministry her in Macomb. Be beyond clear to her and to others. Send others to her to guide her towards Your will. Grant us both the complete joy of our salvation.

For the people of Macomb I ask you to pour out the spirit of revival. Start with me. Start with the UBC youth. Place in their hearts an intense desire to share your good news with all of their friends and classmates. Help them to get it, to grasp your amazing will for their lives. Show me how best to lead them to the promise land of Your will. Show us how to reach those who are lost. How do we most effectively bring them into the fold? Grant your supernatural courage to all of those who have the opportunity this day to share their faith in You. I know you could fill our church building at any moment. Show us how to prepare and to expect such an out pouring.

I lift up Denise to you. Pray your rest for her. May she simply rest in your powerful arms. She has been such a wonderful blessing. I praise You for bringing her to UBC and my family. Give her courage to make the decisions she knows deep down that she must make. Give her peace. Show her Your calling upon her life. May she always use the passions you have given her to proclaim Your word. Bring her family to salvation. Use her time with them this week to bring them in the fold.

May your healing touch be on Gayle, Mark and PJ, my mom, Kelly's mom, his brother. Grant wisdom and guide to Kelly, myself, our Deacons, our Councils and other leaders. May we lead the church down Your path.

I know you can and will do so much more than I have asked for today. I look forward to seeing how gloriously you will respond to my prayers.

It is Christ name that I come before You. Amen!
