Gracious God is it true what I see? Is this how you are answering our prayers? We need to know. We desire to know. I especially need to know if this is Your will or me jumping in too soon. I know nothing is impossible with You. I know You open and shut doors in ways that do not always make sense to us or to the people around us. I know there is a huge part of me that wants this to work out but in a way pleasing and honoring to You. I desire to go and to leave. I desire to be starting new things and doing new things. I only want this in the place and time of Your choosing and not mine. I ask as Solomon did to have Your wisdom. I hang on to the promise that that you hear and answer the prayers of Your people.
I praise You for the ear You give to my words. I am humbled that the God of all creation would even consider hearing what I have to say much less be so involved in my life. You created my bodily form and You recreating the rest of me now. It is an amazing thing. It is amazing to know that You understand cats, dogs, plants, lizards and those things that we seek to understand. You are the one who knows why they make every step they make. You know why they make the choices they make. You alone understand these things. I praise You for that understanding.
Bring Angie and I to the same place on the choices before us. Lay passions upon our hearts. Take fears away. Bring us together in new and exciting ways. I look forward to watching You work in this.
Continue to work in the hearts and minds of the boys. Prepare them for this move and change. Help them to understand. Help them in those moments when they miss the people the care about. I would especially ask that help Aiden deal with leaving school.
You are an amazing God and I praise You for Aiden's 4 years with us. It has been amazing to see how You have done so much in his life. I look forward to seeing You continue to do this.
I praise You for the pretty snow this day. Help us enjoy all that You provide for us. Christ I thank You for saving me and for allowing me to come before the Father in Your name. Amen!

Gracious God I look to You and wait. I wait for You to once again open up Your hand and provide for my family. I praise You for the abundance You have poured out upon us. May we always look to You and wait for You to provide. You are so awesome at this and I am always so amazed by it. Today I look to You for provision for travel and new ministry. I believe that if we are to be in Atlanta then You have already composed a plan of provision for this. I also believe that You have a plan of provision for whatever new ministry You have planned for my family. May we earnestly seek to be on the path/plan You have designed.
May You heal Angie. Give her and her body the rest it needs. I praise You for the work You are doing in heart especially with regards to having a little girl someday. It is so awesome to see what You are doing there. I praise You for the love and support she gives me. May I reflect Your love towards her. Show me what she needs me to be to draw her closer to You. Show me what she needs to me to be. Give her the wisdom, strength and whatever else she needs to be the kind of mother You desire her to be. Grant her release for the battles she faces. I would ask that You release her from the prisons she finds herself in some days. She is Your child and I trust You will always take care of her.
I praise You for my two boys. I praise You for the wonderful personalities You are developing inside of them. May they seek after You and Your salvation. May Angie and I always point them towards You. May they receive great rest today. May they learn today. God help/cause Aiden to make the turn in his potty training. It seems as though we were nearly where we needed to be and now it seems as though we have moved backwards. We need to Your wisdom. We seek it from You in this moment. Help him to understand what he needs to do and then to do it. Grant Anthony the sense of security that mommy will return and that it is ok for her to leave. I know it isn't all about security but there is a part of me that thinks that it is. May he become at peace with all of this. Prepare their hearts and minds for the move You seem to be getting us closer to. May they want to move because of You.
There are so many issues and struggles with so many at work. You know each and every one of them. Use me there. Help me to be more willing to be used. Place a fire in my bones about doing Your work and ministry no matter the time or place.
I trust You have heard my prayers. I trust You see them through the blood of Christ and You hear them through the groans of the Holy Spirit. I know not how You will answer all of this things but I know You will and I look forward to watching You do it. May I not miss it and may I praise You for each answer that You give.

Gracious God I need your special guidance today. I have this need to be doing with people yet I have no way of knowing how to work that out. You have answered my prayer for a fire again and I can feel it rekindling within me again. Is there one place in particular that I am to focus on. I desire to be on the campus so desperately. Show me the campus You want to move me to. I need the wisdom for those right choices. You have me at Wal-Mart now and I desire to know my role there. There are some days it feels as though I am to be reaching out to some there and others it does not. On the other hand I hear so much about blooming where I am planted. Such confusion. I need clarity from You. I need courage from You. I need peace from You. Where is the outlet?????
I pray for good choices and peace in my household today. I desire for Angie's body to be healed and her right should/arm pain to be gone. May our house be as You would have it to be today. May my boys make good choices. Help Aiden to do well with potty training today. May he tells us when he needs to go. May the boys listen. May we have patience. I especially ask this for myself, I need patience with them. Help Anthony to listen and obey.
May Angie and I be able to spend some time together today and may that time be sweet and pleasing to You. May our hearts and minds be in the same place and may we have time today to find that place together. We seek to do Your will. May today not be an elephant day for Angie. I love You and praise You in this moment. I come before in Jesus name. Amen!
