Gracious God, thank you for allowing me to come into Your presence this day. I am still so amazed that You allow me to come before You. I know it is only by Christ blood that I can. It amazes me that You made the sacrifice so I could come before You. There is nothing that I could have ever given to make this possible. I am humbled by this fact. I ask that You the heart of my prayers today. Spirit may You communicate to the Father that which I can not put into words.
Open my eyes so that I may see. Open my hears that I my hear. Open my mind so that I may understand. I have so many things swirling around in my head. Filter out that which is not of You. Remove the fog that comes from Satan.
Grant peace and joy to Angie and the boys today. May today be a great day for them. May they have fun together. May the boys behave. Grant Angie the wisdom, patience and strength she needs. You are and amazing and awesome God. I praise You for my family. I praise you that Anthony's Adoption in to our family is now complete. May we grow into the family You want us to be.
I praise you for the 3 I had last night. I am thankful for how You provide. Thank you for the lesson. May You ignite a passion for the lost in their hearts. Open their eyes to see people in ways they have never seen them before. Help them to see their pain, their lostness, their confusion, and their need for Your love.
May the plans Kelly and I work on be Your plans. May You guide the hearts and minds of those in leadership towards You and Your vision. Spirit I ask that You come in great power and might upon this church. Stir the hearts of the people. Turn them towards the Father in a way they have known before. Clean my heart of all that separates me from where I supposed to be.
I know that I will not and cannot lose the Spiritual Battle I am in. You are with me and that is all that I need for victory. I claim and take hold of this promise You have given to Your people and Your church. I claim it for UBC. I claim it for Angie. I claim it for Kelly. I claim it for Vicky. I claim it for all of our leaders. Open our eyes like You open the eyes of Elisha's servant. Helps us to see Your army all around us.
I submit these words to You in Christ Name. Amen!

Gracious Father, I praise You for another day. I Praise You for saving me. I am thankful for all that You have done for me in my life. I scarcely understand it all. I accept on faith alone the grace You have given me. I cannot understand the depth of Your love for me. I am some how worthy and unworthy of the calling I have received. It is only by Christ's blood that I have any right to come before. Yet because of his blood I can come before You without fear. Somehow You make it possible for fear and boldness to exist together within me.

I lay Johnathan and Sonya before You. May You continue to guide their time together. Grow their relationship. Help them to continue to be themselves yet begin to grow together.
I ask for Your wisdom in how the Youth ministry is to move forward. What are the plans You have for us? Show us Your purpose! Provide all that each one of the students need for today. Help them to be Your light on their campus today.
I praise You for how you will provide for Lynn and his wife. I pray for reconciliation. I pray for no bitterness to linger. I ask You grant supernatural wisdom through all of this.
You are a truly awesome God. I love You. I fear You. I adore You. I desire to do Your will. Hear my prayers. See them through the blood of Christ. Amen.

Father God I praise You for who You are. I am both thankful and overwhelmed by Your Holiness. I am in awe of how I am able to come before You. I am scared yet at peace.

I am thankful that it does though. I praise You for how You are connecting dots for me. I am excited about how You are opening my eyes to so many truths around me. I am thankful for musicians like Petra and Robin Mark. It amazes me how You continue to work through their songs long after they are first written.

Show them how to be a light on their campuses. Grant wisdom to my parents. May You draw them closer to Your side. Help them to be Your kind pf parents.
Provide rest for Kelly and his family as they travel. Grant him your wisdom on providing leadership to our church.
Open the hearts of those who will be here on Sunday. Bring us new faces. Open the hearts of those who have been running from You. Break down the walls. May Your words be my words.
I look forward to what You will do today, tomorrow and for the rest of my life. I ask for Your wisdom in the adoption process. You have a great plan for me and my family. May we stay on Your path.
