Gracious God it is in the name and by the power of Christ blood that come before You this wonderful morning. Gracious God, I praise You for the wonderful weather today. The coolness in the air and breeze. It is so amazing to watch the change in seasons and how each one show us something wonderful about You. I praise You for the wonderful email I received this morning. I thank You for reminding me that You are still working in the lives, hearts and minds of young people. You have not forsaken them or abandoned them. You desire to see them to grow and serve in ways none of us could imagine. I praise You for the birds. I praise You for the calmness of this hour. I seek after strength to come from this time.
I call out to You for Your wisdom. I desire to know what are the choices I must make. There are so many before me. So many that do not seem to have a clearly wrong answer. I believe there is one that You want me/us to make. Show us this day. Teach our hearts the answer. God You are so good. You are mighty and powerful. Help me to fear You today. May I both fear and seek to be in Your presence.
Clear out the busyness in my life. Allow my heart and mind be cleared to focus on You. Remove the fog and haze from my eyes. Open my eyes to new and wonderful things and blessings. Open my ears so that they may hear You. I do not want to turn away from You. Forgive me for when I do. Accept me and my prayers.
Spirit teach my boys great and mighty things this day. Open their eyes to the glory that is all around them. May they hear and see You in us. May we be Your light for them. Answer the questions they have in their hearts. Show them their need for You.
Jesus thank You for carrying us.
Bring Angie and I to the same place and page. May we be one in our thing on many things. Especially when it comes to having more children. I believe You have a path You want us to take and You want us to take it together. You want us to be in the same place and seeking after the same things. That is what it means when two become one. Show us this unity and togetherness in all those things that are before. Answer our questions with clarity beyond reason.
I praise You for all that You continue to do my life. You are awesome and incredible. You are so far beyond any words or thoughts I could ever imagine about You. You are incredible. You are matchless. Thank You. Thank You for Your Son. Jesus I thank You for Your death and Your willingness to suffer for me. Thank You for all of the pain You suffered to give me life. Your blood is so amazingly powerful. It is hard to comprehend how all of this works. I know that it does though. I know the truth. I know who You are and I know what I believe. I praise You for this confidence. I praise You for faith. May they truth I know be seen my others. Show me in each step that I take the best way I can be Your light. Show me how to best be Your witness. Thank You for hearing my prayer this day. Amen!

Gracious God, I thank you fro all that You do. I praise You for how You provide and how You do answer prayers. I praise You for a wonderful first morning with Aiden going to school. Help him to do well and to follow directions. Help to make new friends and learn more about You. May You give peace to Angie and Anthony while he is at school. Help their time to be wonderful and fruitful.
You are a great and mighty God. You are mighty beyond my understanding or imagination. All nations should fear Your name. Your name alone is mighty among the nations. Your grace is all sufficient. You justice is pure and righteous. Your wisdom is so far beyond any of us. We are Your creation and Your special ones. You have a plan for all people. It is a personal and mighty plan. It is one that is full of great triumphs and tragedies. It is one full of knowledge, wisdom and fun. It is one filled with hard work and times of relaxation/rest. May I always praise You no matter the season of life that I am in. May the circumstances around me never prevent me from worshiping You.
Correct me yet just as Jeremiah asked to be corrected with justice and not wrath so do I. Correct me in Your love and not Your anger. Show me my wrongs. Show me how to grow and move forward. Help my heart and mind to move beyond those things which trouble and frustrate me. May the fears and struggles I have been calmed because of Your presence. May Your peace flood over me like nothing I have seen and experienced before. You know the personal and ministry struggles that I am having. You know the pain deep within my heart. Heal that pain. Show me how best to use and work with the burdens You have given me. Show which burdens are of You and which ones are not. Open the doors that need to be opened and close the others. May Your will and path be unmistakable. May it glow in the darkness. You have awesome plans for so many things.
So many people need to know about You or know more about You. There are so few who are willing to do what needs to be done. To present the truths that they know without fear. May Your people step out in boldness. May Your people do whatever it takes to reach those who need to hear from you. May they put aside all those things which are of this world. May they no be worried or concerned about money or even time. Move it all aside.
I do not know what You have in store for UBC and Macomb. I know Your desire is to have more people in relationship with You and for deeper relationships with You. Use me to accomplish these goals. Use my family to accomplish these tasks. Show us Your perfect will and path. You are the one true God and the Creator of everything. You are Lord. You are my Lord and my God. I praise You this day for that. I praise you Christ for Your work. I praise You Holy Spirit for Your wisdom and guidance. I praise You for allowing me to come before You. I know that I can only do this without fear of death because of the blood of Christ. It is by His blood and His name that I do come before You. Amen!
