Praying Daily for our needs.......

Dear Lord and Father

A special day comes everyday in you and I just want to always start mine with a prayer of thanksgiving for all that You are in my life. There are so many blessings in just getting up in the morning with coffee made and a car to drive when we need to go somewhere. Sometimes its so simple we don’t see it but I do Father and I know your hands are upon our lives each day.

Father, watch for the needs of Sue Pratt as she’ll have surgery today on her ankle. Father she needs the use of that foot so help the doctors with Your careful watch over this surgery. Be with Peggy and Glen and Lexi today Father. Help Glen to understand that the evil one is in control over the things of this earth and we must seek you to be able to overcome because in You there is always hope for a future day that will not have the burdens thrown on us that we have here in this life. Keep us walking back to you so that things can be restored as You would have them. We can make it if we have You and lay that on Glen’s heart as this painful time is upon him and his family. We can’t know why Father but we can know in You there is love and there is hope. Be with all of us that have a hard time seeing Your glory in the world. We can look for the good in all things because in You it is there.

Father, be with the drivers on the road ways today. The traffic is a bit scary for me. I try to watch every detail of m speed and lights but Father it’s hard. Help me to be mindful of what I am doing and don’t panic when cell phones ring. They will call back if they need me. Father, watch this job and keep me mindful that in You is where my life lives so not to be to concerned about what goes on here.

Father, watch for my children they are in need of your disciplines and care it seems each time Robbie comes into my life it is like a test to see if I can stay true to my beliefs and not give in to him. It was easier this time and he comes back time and time again to see if I am true to my words. I will not let drugs into this house, I will not let live ins come here without marriage. I will not. I have told this over and over and I am vested in You and Your word and I will not let open sin in my home. Please Father bless my action for I fear the worst for him and those he comes in contact with. He has been a test from even the early days of his youth so Father because I am not able I give him over to your will. Be with Debra as she is seeking medical help> A way to get off medications that may very well be her problems. Help us dear Lord as we walk this walk and with You let the right answers come.

It is in the strong and powerful name of Jesus that I pray it all into Your will and Your mercy…….Amen.

Dear Lord

We were asked last night to bring before your holy throne the family of Glen and Peggy Hemmingway. Everyday we are going to asked a specail blessing on them. On the ones that impact their lives. For little Lexi and the hardships of being a child in a difficult set of circumstances. Lord only you can touch the hearts of men to make them understand the life we have on this earth and what is to be done with it. Only in you can we know the right paths to take so guide this family and all of us who know you and know we need you. It's not enough to just lay down our prayers we have to listen to them ourselves and we have to do our own part to make your plans work in our lives. Make that ever plain to those who can't see it. Father we know that this is not your will for there to be mistreatment and foul talk so lay it on the hearts of those who are not doing as they should so they will come around and make life better for the children and the families of those who are hurting and ill. As Peggy needs a extra portion of Your love to get her through this we are begging your mercy for her situation. Keep her safe and guide her mind and those thoughts that can distroy us. Be with all of us who hurt due to the actions of family member. Father you know that I had another close brush with the problems of drugs, anger, fear I really don't understand why this keeps coming up as I have firmly set my limits in your instructions and I can not waver from them so Lord please forgive my sin in this matter and protect those who just can't seem to ge their lives together. Robbie and Debra are a test everyday but I live in You Father and I am totally trusting in You. I don't always say the right things but Father I know that sometimes you have to make hard calls to get your point accross. It's come down to that so Father whatever comes I accept it as your will.

Be with Roland as his path is hard and his work load is heavy. Just let us pass through the storms and trust in you for a better day to come. For it is in the name of Jesus we pray it all into your loving hands.............Amen
