Gracious God, I know You have perfect timing. I believe things are well within your hands yet I wish I could see more. I wish I could have a larger understanding. I see so much of the puzzle yet there are pieces that desire to see that I cannot. You are might and strong. You are working out a plan far beyond my imagination. May we simply seek to follow after that plan with all that we are. With all that You have made us to be. I am desperate.

I thank You for the peace about Dash. This is so different than last time and for that I say Thank You! I look forward to the milestones of pregnancy. I look forward to seeing if You have given us a girl or a boy. I look forward to seeing the heartbeat. I look forward to hearing the heartbeat. I look forward to watching the baby dance in the womb. I look forward to the day they are born. I look forward to the many first in his/her life.

I ask that you would continue to protect Angie and her body. Give her the wisdom to know when to rest and the peace to follow that wisdom. Give us both the strength we need to continue on with life and the opportunities before us. May Your peace simply reign in our lives. May Your peace guard our hearts.

May the songs I sing today be pleasing to your ear. Holy Spirit I take hold of the promise of Your convicting power today. May it start with me. Wrap your arms around me so that I may feel your calming grip. May Your great strength be felt in mighty ways today. In Christ name I lat these words before You.

Gracious God, I simply pray for a good night. I need your strength, wisdom and endurance. I need your peace. I desire to have your yolk. I trust You will provide all that I need to continue along Your path for us. I know You have great and mighty plans.

You awesome in power, strength, grace, and holiness. Draw me into Your presence. Change my heart. Search me. Convict me. Help to take hold of the power You have promised. May I be able to speak boldly for Your glory. May only truth come from my lips. May only truth in love come from my lips. I seek to do Your will. I want nothing more or less than this.

I praise You for Dash. I am in awe of how You create life. I am thankful for this newest one. Grant Angie and I the wisdom and strength we need to be in Your will in all that we do. Give her body rest. Protect her mind and heart from those things which would see herself for anything less that what she truly is. Keep the lies of Satan away from her.

I am in awe of how You listen to our prayers. I am in awe of the power of Christ Name and Blood. For it is in His name that I come before You now. Amen.

Gracious, Holy and Merciful God. You are awesome and mighty. You are truly beyond words. I praise You for all that I can and cannot understand about You. You see and know so much more than can be conceived by any of us. You see all of eternity yet you also see every nanosecond of time. It is all in your hands. You gave us day and night. You invented the very idea of time itself.

You know the great and mighty burdens on my heart. You know how my heart breaks for so many people. I would ask that come in mighty ways into the lives of those here in Macomb. Come in a way that you may have never come to them before. I know You can if You so chose. You know the desires of my heart. You know the burdens. I seek after Your comfort and peace.

I look forward to how You shall answer the cries of Your people. Lord hear our prayers.
