Okay, I really didn't know how hard this would be or how much I would be tempted or tried during this process and its only day 2. End of Day 1 I got pulled over not buckling up. There's $20 bucks down the tube and made me late for our Meet the Sandites night where we got to watch our son play in the band and they announced and introduced football players and such. Today, we had a blow up with our son because of him blowing off his homework and not applying himself to his full potential. Jana is stressed, I'm stressed, but I'm not giving up on this.
Lord, I confess my sins of doubt, anger, and pride to you write now. Those are definately a stumbling block to me. I confess all my sins to you right now, the ones I know and remember and the ones I don't. Lord I pray that you will send your Spirit to us and defend us against the attach of the devil. He is trying real hard to work distracting and blocking not only this blog but all aspects of my life. I know you have a plan for me and I wait to receive your plan at your timing, not mine. Lord I pray authority over the enemy in the name of Jesus, who has all authority.
I specifically pray for my job that you will bless it and continue to bless me in so that I can get out of debt and be able to pay my student loans. Lord prepare me over the next 6 months to be in a place to handle the extra load of the payments.
I lift up my small group to you Lord that you will continue to work in them and through them. That they will see your power through this Prayer series and that when we complete this that we will all be the prayer warriors that we see in other people and want. I pray for growth in our small group both in spirit and in numbers.
I lift up to you Kelly and her family. I pray that you will open the hearts of her husband and child and that they will see your unhindered love and grasp on to it and not let go. I pray for her husband specifically. You know the needs and what is going on. I pray your will be done in their lives.
I continue to pray for Mark and his job and his wife. Lord, bless them for being so faithful to you even when times have been so tough. God I thank you for bringing them into our lives and the lives of our small group. I pray that you will open doors that need to be opened and close the ones that need to be shut.
I lift up my wife to you that you will take this stress and burden of the problems of whats going on and relieve her stress. God bless her because she is so faithful to you and to me. Love her when my love is not enough. Guide her when I'm not able to lead, and giver her the faith to know you are in control of all things, even when we want to be in control or have no control.
I thank you for Susan and Warren for coming back to our small group. God, lead them to the place you want them. Thank you for their friendship, laughter and insight. Bless their jobs and their lives and the lives of their children.
I lift up our church to you in prayer. I pray for the pastors and their families. I continue to lift up in prayer to your the people of Peru who blessed us so much and those that made decisions to follow You. Guide them, protect them, love them and use them.
God, I lift up those prayer requests my feeble mind forgets. I give you the glory now and in the future for all the things you do, for the prayer requests that are answered during this time. I know you answer all requests and whether its a yes, or a no, or a not yet, I thank you.
I love you Father.
James
