Father God, I praise You for this day. I praise You for my little ones. I praise You for the little ones in our church. Teach them Your mighty ways. May our songs truly bring us into Your presence today. May our hearts simply bow down before You. I May You change hearts on lives today. Open our eyes so that we may see. Open our ears so that we may hear. Open our minds so that we may understand.

Spirit speak through Kelly this morning. Spark revival in our hearts. Awake our hearts for You.

I praise You for who you are! I am in such awe of how you are working in the lives of so many students. I am amazed at how real You to so many of them. I thank You for the encouragement they have brought to me. I ask that You just continue to draw them to You.

I do not understand why so many terrible things are happening to some in our fellowship. I kills me to watch it. It kills me to watch the effect it has on the children. I want it to stop. I want there to peace in this people's lives. I want you to reign in their hearts and minds. I know You can heal all marriages. I ask that You do that in those marriages that hurting so badly. I pray for conviction for all wrongs by all parties. I just want to yell at people and say "enough is enough! Honor your commitment! Work through it! Let God perform a miracle in your marriage and your life!"

I pray for those who are trying to minister to, guide and comfort all who are involved in these messes. I trust that Holy Spirit You will be guiding these. I specifically pray for Angie as she ministers to the children and for Kelly as he councils the adults.

I pray for the expansion of UBC's influence and ministry here in Macomb. I know You will bring forth fruit from the efforts in our men's, women's and children's ministry. I ask that You bring forth a great multitude of children and their families. Guide Angie as she leads this ministry. I ask that You heal her hand. May your peace reign in our home today. Help the boys to get along. Help them to grow. Help them to love You and others. Guide Angie as she watches them and loves on them today. Grant her the patience and wisdom that she will need. May our boys see You in us.

I ask for your courage for each one of the students here. I especially ask that You would lead the teenagers to be bold witnesses for You today. May they bring back great stories of how You empowered them to do so much more than they could have ever imagined. You are such an awesome God. You are so good to them. May they share Your love in new and different ways today. Speak clearly to them.

You are a great and mighty God. There is truly none like You. May You show yourself in might ways to Your people here in Macomb today!

I praise You for hearing my prayers. In Jesus name I come before You. Amen!
