A Few Special Prayer Requests

This Blog is about many things. Some times it is about instruction in The Word. Sometimes it is about encouragement. It's always about prayer... -Especially intercessory prayer.

Today I have for a few special prayer requests and I ask all the prayer warriors reading this blog to join me in bringing these petitions to the Lord.

Prayer request # 1: My wife and I have been trying to sell a house in North Houston for nearly a year and are yet to get even a single offer. We've lowered our price several times but are still waiting. I know that the 'right' family for that house is out there, and I ask for patience that God's will be done in this matter.

Prayer request # 2: Pray for my personal organizational and time management skills. I need to do a better job managing my time. I'm still struggling with being too busy. I've got to prioritize and eventually prune away some unproductive activity so I can spend more time with my family.

Prayer Request # 3: Pray for my co-workers and the upper management where I work. I believe God has positioned me at Columbia Lakes Country Club to be His Light. Right now it's very dark around here and my light is dim and flickering. I pray that wise decisions be made by upper management regarding the day to day operations. I pray also that I might be a more effective witness by doing my job well and keeping a positive outlook during otherwise negative situations.

Dear Heavenly Father,

Lord, I'm leaning on You today to get me through. I'm struggling. I'm struggling in my prayer life, and my thought life. You know me, Lord. You know my heart. Lord I want to live totally for You. Help me to be a good steward of my time and resources that I might Glorify You in all I do, Father.

Lord, I pray for the family out there You are preparing to purchase our home. Bless them, dear Lord. And bless us by taking that home off our hands. Father I know you are behind the scenes in every circumstance working things for Good. Give me patience as I wait on You, my King.

Father God, I think You are reminding me that I am nothing apart from You. Oh I know that. There is nothing that I've ever accomplished that has not come from You. I give You all the credit, all the glory. You are the Lord of my Life. And I pray that I live my life in a manner that tells the world that I belong to You.

Thank you Lord for my blessings. Thank you for my family, home, and career. Lord thank You for Your promise of Eternal Life...!

Lord thank you for the many witnessing opportunities You place before me. Help me to recognize them and bring glory to Your Name.

And Jesus, I pray these things in the power of Your precious holy name, Amen.
