I come in to Your presence humbled and amazed and Your holiness. I cannot understand how I am allowed to come before You. I accept it with a great full heart. I bow before Your throne. My mind and heart bows before You. I do not deserve to be able to come in to Your presence. Jesus cleanse my heart and lips this day so that they may be pleasing to the Father. Spirit guide my heart and mind while I am in His presence.

Father God I praise You for all that have you done in my life and the lives of those around me. It is so obvious to me that You are working and dong some great things in the lives of so many and that You want to do so much more. I praise You for where You have brought Angie and I. Help us in our unbelief. Protect Angie and the baby. To the best I can I take hold of your promises of protection and successful pregnancies. I pray things are clear on the ultrasound this week. That we can easily see a heartbeat and that everything will look normal. May You truly be the Prince of Peace for us this week.

Heal Aiden. Remove his fever. Comfort him until it is gone. Give Angie patience and strength as she cares for the boys. I praise You for the incredible wife and mother that she is. I praise You for her calling. I praise You for the opportunity You have placed before her to be such a wonderful servant of Yours. I look forward to all of the wonderful ways You will be using her to change the lives of children and families here in Macomb. I praise You for how she loves on and ministers to the youth and college students here.

I again lay each one of my students at your throne. Remove their barriers. Clear their time. Allow them to complete their tasks. May they place you first. May you be before homework, before band, before class, before sports, or whatever it is that they spend their time doing. Show this church how to best raise them up. I pray for the couples among us and that You give them wisdom on how best to go about their relationships.

Show us how to expand our influence here in Macomb. Expand it beyond our wildest imagination. May we be bursting with people who want to praise your name. Even today give courage to the people in our church to share their faith with friends and co-workers or people they have just met. Fill the student house! Fill the SS rooms! Fill the pews on Sunday.

Grant to Kelly te rest he desperately needs. Even without sleep energize him. Spirit move on his heart. Give him this day the message for Sunday. Allow him to complete his tasks early and have the time to rest in You all weekend long. I praise You for the little ones I have on Sunday AM. They are such a blessing. I pray for their next teacher. I ask your wisdom in showing me to best serve this church on Sunday Mornings. Expand my role.

I praise You for this wonderful day and look forward to talking with students tonight. AMEN!
