Gracious God I praise you for the beautiful green grass and the wonderful blooms. I thank You for the change of seasons. I thank You for the change of seasons in my life. I Praise You for how You move me from one place, time and activity to another. You are gracious and awesome in how You work. I praise You for the great opportunities of this week. Thank You for the wonderful student contacts this week at our gum giveaway. I look forward to many more weeks of contacts and seed planting. I ask that you guide the heart and mind of the young lady who took our pamphlet and Your son. Use it and others to lead her into a saving relationship with You.
You are awesome in this place mighty God, my Abba Father. I life up Your name before all who read this. I am unworthy to even call upon Your name yet here I am before You with boldness. This boldness I have is only because of the shed blood of Christ. In His name I seek Your face. In His name am I able to be in Your presence.
Spirit release within me the power that I need. Show me the path. Make it bright before my eyes. May my heart simply follow. Teach my mind and heart to seek with all that I have. Keep frustration and bitterness away from me. May You work past and through these kinds of things. You know the plans for our church and ministries. Show us beyond a shadow of doubt. Make it clear. Renew hearts and minds for you. May passion for you and spreading Your gospel explode among us. May Your labors not grow tired and weary. May they have people come and hold up theirs arms. May you grant wisdom and understanding to our leaders. May You speak mightily through Kelly. Spirit come lead people to action.
Draw my family into this passion for action. Draw my boys close to You. May their prayers be sweet and innocent. May they never know a day without You as their mighty Savior. Jesus be real to them. May my wife know You are there. May she lean on You and You alone always. Comfort her when I fail her. Comfort her when I cannot. Draws us closer together as we grow closer to You.
I know you can do so much more than what I ask for or seek from You. You know the needs of our church and our world. Meet those needs in miraculous ways today. Use us to expand You kingdom and influence here in Macomb.

Gracious Heavenly Father! I praise You for the rain. I praise You for the newness of Spring. I praise You for the regrowth and of the Earth. I praise You for the renewal in me. I praise You for the renewal in Angie. I praise You for our family. You have blessed with me with so much more than what I deserve. I humbled by your provision. I am humbled with being able to even come in to Your presence. As best I can today I lay my life, my will, my desires, my everything at your feet. I know no other way to bow before You. I lay my spirit before You. May You find my gifts acceptable despite the fact that I know in and of themselves they are. My gifts are not holy and unacceptable unless they are washed in the blood of the Lamb. Through His blood I come to You with great boldness to worship, praise and petition.
There are so many hurting souls in Macomb and WIU. There are so many people who long for Your love and yet they do not seek You. I desire to see their lives changed. I desire to see many lives changed. Help me to be both patient and expectant. Show me how to expect You to do great and be patient in waiting for You to do that. Help me to see the "small things" as great and mighty things. You know all of the situations and relationships that are surrounding me. You know their unique needs and concerns. Use me to speak Your truth in to them. Use me to change them. Use me to point them towards You and may I step back and let You do what You do so well, fix our broken lives and relationships.
You are awesome and mighty. I know You will do great things. You are doing great things. I ask that You will show this truth to those who need to hear it most.
