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.
