After a rough couple of days starting this prayer blog, today was such a blessing. God, truly knew I needed it. Got to go out and participate in one of my favorite early hunting seasons, Dove season. Got to see the sun come up and share it with two great friends, hunting buddies, and wonderful men of God. I didn't kill a thing, I only shot twice, but you know it was one of my favorite trips. Got to have some deep conversations with two Godly men on things going on in my life and their life while sitting in God's beauty. What a refreshing trip. Now to the real important part which is the prayer time.
Father God, I ask you to forgive me of all my sins. You already know what they are, but forgive me anyways. I ask that you bind satan today for me, my small group families and fellow Christians in this battle we call life. I ask you to guide me today and each day and to stand in the gap when my armor is weak. I pray that this blog will not only reach people and be a blessing but teach others about transparency and prayer.
Lord, I don't always take time to spend in the word. Forgive me of my excuses and help me and remind me of that special time between you and I. Lord I lift up the prayers of my small group. God give us a fresh new look at prayer in the lives of our families, our marriages and in ourselves.
I pray for my wife today, that you will bless her in her work. That you will love her when my love is not enough. That you will protector when I cannot and that your will lead her when I cannot lead. She is such an inspiration to me and my son. She is selfless, kind and loving. You have blessed me more than I will ever know by bringing her into my life so long ago and I thank you for that Jesus.
I continue to lift up to you my job and finances. Help to lead us out of debt and be able to start paying our student loans. I pray that you will bring in the sales when I cannot find them. I thank you right now in advance. I pray also that you will always remind me where it comes from. Not from my employer but from you.
Lord I lift up Mark and Trina. What an inspiration. I ask that you answer his prayers in regards to his works. You know all that is going on and the seasons they are in, in their life. Bless Mark because of his faithfulness to you.
I pray for Susan and Warren and their family. I pray for the jobs that you will bless them and make them successful. I thank you for bringing them back into our small group and church.
I pray for Terry and her husband. Lord heal the hurt, strengthen their marriage and love him and allow him to see that love so that he may seek you in all things.
I lift up Frank and Cindy and Franks work. I pray that you will provide him with more work than he ever thought possible. Thank you for allowing them to be apart of our small group and our family's life.
I lift up to you my son. Help him to focus on school and to the very best he can so that he doesn't have to struggle with it later. Forgive me for my failures as a dad and a husband. Help me to be the spiritual leader to him that my dad was to me. I love you and thank you for bringing him into our lives and the joy that he brings Jana and I.
Lord I pray that through this pray blog that we may see you work in ways that seem insurmountable to us. May we see you work in a way that we can say and show that things only happened because of you. May you receive all the glory, and honor and praise forever. Amen.
I love you God.
