Gracious God, I praise you for this day. I praise You for the light you have given to me, my family, and some of my friends. I praise You foBlogger: Prayers of DT Boy - Create Postr my wife. Strengthen and encourage her today. Give her the patience and grace she needs for all that she will encounter today. Heal her body. Heal her pain. Heal our pain. Carry us through this week. Guide our steps even when we do not see it. Thank you for my boys. Draw them to your side. Teach them more about You this day. Help them learn Your Word. Help them learn the words and signs. Place a spirit of peace and calmness within them.
I praise you for the students from last night. May the BCM and UBC be used to minister to them. May we be spring board for them to minister to other students. I desire to see students brought from darkness and into light. Show me my role in this. Bring students into my path so that I may reach out to them. Show me how to best be a light of hope for hurting students. Show Denise, Lisa, Meme, Vicky, Sonya, Johnathan and others how they can show the love and light of Christ to those around them. I praise you for Denise and the ministry she has done this summer. I look forward to the wonderful ways You will be suing her this semester. I praise You for the wonderful things you did with Johnathan this summer. May the stories of Your wondrous deeds be told over and over again all over this city.
I thank you for all of the youth You brought to us Sunday Morning. May You bring even more tomorrow night. Guide us as we study Your word. Raise up leaders for them. Provide us with all of the space we need. I desire to grow and expand our youth ministry. I look forward to how you will be working on Sunday Nights. Provide all that we need. Help the youth to have the consistent time they need and many of them want to have with You. Show them who they are to share the Gospel with. Give them a heart for the lost. Burden them for their friends and classmates who do not know You. Burden them to change their campus.
Expand the ministry of UBC. Raise up the leaders we need. Grant us new Sunday School leaders, new council leaders, new Deacons, new ministry leaders and small group leaders. Raise up people who have a desire to reach the lost and do whatever it takes to accomplish this task. Grow us beyond our imagination. I praise You for the new members we have. I praise You for Angelina and her acceptance of You and her desire to be baptized. Amazing!!!! May she be a beacon of hope in her classroom. May she tell her friends all about You and the choice she has made. Use more than her parents to teach her. May her friends ask her questions about church. Give her the answers. May she invite her friends to come and watch her baptism and may they ask questions because of it.
I praise You for the sacrifice of Your son. For it is in His name that I can and do come before You this morning. Amen!
