Father God I praise You for who You are. I am both thankful and overwhelmed by Your Holiness. I am in awe of how I am able to come before You. I am scared yet at peace. I do not understand why you listen to the prayers of sinful man. I know in my head that it is through the blood of Christ but I just do not understand how that works. I am thankful that it does though. I praise You for how You are connecting dots for me. I am excited about how You are opening my eyes to so many truths around me. I am thankful for musicians like Petra and Robin Mark. It amazes me how You continue to work through their songs long after they are first written.

I praise You for Angie and all she does in taking care of the boys and myself. Grant her the rest she needs. Heal hear and the boys. Expand her ministry. Give her the opportunities to do what You have called her to do. Reward her faithfulness to You. Protect her. Encourage her.

I lay the students before You. You know their names. You know their needs. Protect them as many of them and their families will be traveling this Thanksgiving. Show them how to be a light on their campuses. Grant wisdom to my parents. May You draw them closer to Your side. Help them to be Your kind pf parents.

Provide rest for Kelly and his family as they travel. Grant him your wisdom on providing leadership to our church.

Open the hearts of those who will be here on Sunday. Bring us new faces. Open the hearts of those who have been running from You. Break down the walls. May Your words be my words.

I look forward to what You will do today, tomorrow and for the rest of my life. I ask for Your wisdom in the adoption process. You have a great plan for me and my family. May we stay on Your path.

Thank You for listening to my prayers today. In Christ name I present his prayer to You. Amen!
