About this site…

Thanks so much for visiting this posting of our son’s prayer journal.  The best way to read in chronological order is to  select pages from the ’Journal Entries’ box on the right. Even then, the posts will appear in reverse order so you might want to scroll down and read from the bottom up. Or feel free to just jump in at any point. Hopefully there is something here that can speak to you. We would love it if you would take a moment and sign our guestbook. Please visit often as we add new entries each month.

Father, I thank You for the gift of a brand new day. I pray that You will use my life today for Your glory. Stir desire in my heart for You and Your Word. Help me to walk with You in truth today. Teach me to love those around me.

• Tony – grant him a fresh passion for the message You have given him
• Holli – thank You for her, continue to raise her in Your truth, help us to spur each other on in You
• Justin – give him wisdom as he looks to enter fatherhood, grant health and safety for Carrie and the baby

I pray that You will fill my heart with Your words for this upcoming retreat. Give me discipline to study and help me to only rely on You. I pray that You will bring some clients my way to work with and to share You with. Help me to see that You put me where I am for You to gain glory and honor. Help me to live a life worthy of that calling. I love You and surrender to You today Jesus. All of  me for only You.

Father, I want to rejoice in You today. It has been too long since I could feel Your presence and hear Your voice. I confess my selfishness to You, and my laziness. I pray that You will restore the joy of salvation to my life. Help me to forgive Holli as You forgive me. Teach me to love her unconditionally and to put her wants and needs and desires before my own. Give her comfort to talk openly with me so that we can try to figure out where You are leading us. I pray that You will awaken desire in my heart for You and Your truth. Begin to birth Your words in my heart for this upcoming retreat. Open my eyes to see You in my life and in the lives of others around me. I praise You for today and I pray that it can be a brand new start for me. Revive my soul, Jesus, I need more of You and less of me. All of me for only You today!

Father, I praise You for today. I am sorry for the things that I have filled my mind and heart up with lately. I want to fill up on You. I pray Psalm 19 over my life today. I want to know Your law, statutes, precepts, commands, and ordinances and I want to learn to fear You, so that all I say and do will be acceptable and pleasing to You.

• Tony – I pray for a great harvest tonight in Louisiana, speak boldly through him and grant him a love for those there
• Walker – display Your healing power in His life and make Yourself known to BJ and Amanda
• Holli – raise her in truth and teach her to go after You with all she is. Help me to see her and treat her as Your beloved daughter.
• Ken – continue to prepare his heart and speak through him this weekend

I pray that You will grant me vision and direction for George’s students next month. I want to see You change their hearts and lives. I choose to love You today, Jesus. Restore to me the joy that I have lost. Lead me by Your mighty right hand today. All of me for only You today!

“His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness.” – 2 Peter 1:3

Father, I do believe that You have given me everything I need and I pray that You will help me to tap into that. I thank You for all that You have done for me through Your glory and goodness and I pray that I can live a life that is worthy of that. Help me to take the small steps needed to begin this real estate deal. I also pray that as You draw me back to Your side that You will also begin to open opportunities to go and speak Your truth. I really miss that. Help me to fix my eyes on You today. I choose to love You and honor You will all I have today. All of me for only You!

All of me for only You!
