Intercession

This morning I stand in prayer for my sweet wife for her toughest, busy-est day of the week today.

Father God, I lift up Monica to You. Bless her. Bless her health, Lord. She is a little weak and weary this morning from another full weak of serving and taking care of the needs of her family, friends, and students. Lord she pushes herself harder than anyone I know. She gives and gives until it seems there is nothing left, and then somehow she finds another reservoir of strength and energy to give a little extra.

I love her so much and I thank and praise You my King for bringing us together as husband and wife. Lord help her today. Lift her up this morning. Grant her Divine Inspiration for her class projects today. I pray blessings on her students as well. I pray that they are especially well behaved, attentive, and cooperative.

Lord God, You are Lord of All. You reign sovereign over this situation. We cherish and honor You with our lives for Your supreme sacrifice. Thank You for Your love, kindness, and compassion.

Lord thank You for hearing my prayer this morning. I rest in You my Savior.

And in Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

Love My Wife...

My wife and I were up kinda late last night discussing some of the pressing issues our country and the world are facing. We are in complete agreement that we have to be more active in educating those within our sphere of influence about negative changes that are taking place in our society right now.

Americans are about to lose many of the freedoms that we have taken for granted for some time. Everyone is too busy it seems to get involved, or worse they are apathetic to issues of utmost importance.

I thank God for my precious wife this morning. She is a woman of strong faith and character and she inspires me to greater heights. I praise my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for people like my wife who are difference makers in this world. I don't want to begin to think of what my life would be like if I had not married my sweet Monica.

Dear Heavenly Father,

Lord You have blessed me with the love a Godly woman. Indeed, my cup runneth over. Thank You Lord for my precious wife. She means everything to this family. I lift her up in prayer to You this morning. I pray for her rest. I pray for the organization of her day. I lift up her health to You. Guard and protect my sweet bride today, Lord Jesus.

Bless her day with the satisfaction of many accomplishments. Father God I pray that Monica is able to influence many lives today with her great communication skills. Lord please enable me to be as much a help and inspiration to her as she is to me.

Father God I will pray about many things today. But the main item on my agenda this morning is lifting up Monica.

I love You Lord. I give this day to You for your Glory. I pray these things in the power of the Name of the one who can do all things, the Author of Life, and my Precious Redeemer, Jesus Christ, Amen.

Prayer for my tournament this weekend...

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You Lord for excellent weather today. I already feel blessed because good weather makes everything better. Father God I lift up all the players and their parents to you today. Please bless their safety traveling to and from the event today.

Lord I pray for good sportsmanship with the players and their families. I pray for a good tournament experience to be had by everyone. Bless my interaction with everyone today, Father. I especially pray for You to bless my communication skills. Let the world see the You in me today, my King. This tournament could be an excellent witnessing opportunity today. Please help me to recognize and seize the moments for me to influence others for You.

On the home front I lift up my dear sweet wife who was feeling a little run down yesterday. I pray blessings over her to have a peaceful, relaxing day today.

Father God, I am ever mindful of my responsibility as a Christian to pray for our Country and it's leaders and so this morning I stand in the gap for the United States and I lift up President elect Obama and his administration to You. I pray that he change his policies over issues like abortion and gay marriage. Lord I pray that Christians close to him would influence his decisions for life and the sanctity of marriage. Lord I believe that the Holy Spirit can still work a miracle in these situations.

Lord help me to reach other Americans like my nephew Johnny and the many, many young people in this world who either don't believe in You or are just indifferent to anything other than their own selfish desires.

Father God, I give today to You. Everything said and done today will be done and said in Your name for Your Glory.

I love You Lord, and in Jesus' name, Amen.
