May 14

Good Morning Lord,

Thank You for a beautiful morning.  Thank You for a quiet day with my husband yesterday.  Please do not let him get sick with what I had.  Thank You for Imitrex and how effective it is for me.  Please bless the person who created it and their whole family.  Thank You for helping me this morning.

Thank You Lord for meeting my friend at her need and providing for her.  Please continue to help her to walk in Your peace and guide every decision.  Thank You for the wonderful healing that Wesley is walking in, please continue to walk with him as he goes for treatment again.  Thank You for the good news and healing that Vicki is walking in, please help them find the right medicine to treat her RA pain.  Thank You for prompting me to pray again for BeBe and Michelle.  Please help them Lord to hold on to You in their chronic pain situations.  Please help them find the things that help the most and help them to seek Your face and walk in their calling.  Please give them strength and hope and wrap Your arms around them and let them feel You tangibly on their difficult days.  Help them to see their value in the kingdom.

Thank You for the life and impact of Nancy Sutphin.  Thank You for her impact on our lives, for her help finding David's strengths when I was so worried about him in 3rd grade.  Thank You for her longtime, well-known, walk with You and her testimony.  Please be with her family and hold them close to You as they had to let her go much sooner than anyone would have wanted.  Please be with them on the difficult days and in the difficult situations, situations where they will miss her more than ever.  Please provide someone to step up to the plate for her when her future grandchildren one day need a praying grandmother.  Please be especially close to Ed, James and Richard.

Lord, Thank You that there were not more fatalities in the mine accident in Boone County this week.  Please be close to the families of those who lost sons, fathers, and brothers.  Please be with the Legg family especially who are struggling with more than just the lost of a son.  Help them to turn to You for comfort and strength, and please supply all of their needs according to Your riches in glory.  You have more than enough.

Thank You for the days of rest, even if I had to be sick to get them.

Thank You for being the God of more than enough in so many situations.  Please help people to see You for who You are, to understand Your love for them, the reason that You desire us to walk a holy life.  Please help the people to desire You and reveal to the prodigals Your love.

Please draw the children back to the Father.  Aaron, Aaron, Brenton, Judd, Homer, Jared  . . . there are so many more, these are just the ones off the top of my head, the ones that come to mind when mine does.

Please be with a friend of Lindsay's whose name is Jennifer who is battling leukemia while trying to raise a grandchild.  Please give her strength through the chemo and help and encouragement when she needs it.  Please hold her close to You and remind her that You love her.  Thank You that my child knows that I will pray for the needs of others.  Thank You for giving her such a warm and welcoming heart.

Thank You for all of my children.  For their individual traits that make them special that I knew were given to them by You.  Please give me Your wisdom to raise them to know You.  Please cover my considerable shortcomings and make a way for my kids where I have failed them.  Please help me to fail you and them less often. 

Please help all of those who are struggling with difficult circumstances, circumstances where they need You far more than they can even say.  Please give them strength and comfort and encouragement.

Please be with Pastor Bart and Cindy and their family, please guide them clearly and cover them in Your favor.  Please walk with them and hold them close to You. 

Please be with those who, as far as it seems to us, are losing their battle with cancer.  Please help them to know You before it is too late.  Please draw them close to You and cover them with Your peace.  Please cover their families and give them peace and do not allow satan to gain a foothold in their lives.

Please bring healing to those whose scars are not visible, but no less painful.  Please walk close to them and bring them peace and strength.  Please heal their souls and remind them that You will never leave them or forsake them.

I know that I ask a lot Lord, but You are a big God and You are able to supply all of our needs.  Your storehouses are full, and money is not my focus, Your storehouses are full of mercy, strength and peace also.  You are amazing Lord, Your love is so perfect and so balanced and so all encompassing that if people would just get a taste, the rest would be so easy.  It is so much better than what the world tries to sell as love. 

I Love You Lord.
In Jesus Name
Amen
