This entry is the final one in Colby’s prayer journal. It comes 2 1/2 months before his death – like me, you may be wondering what was going on his life that would cause him to neglect his regular entries. I think it’s pretty much the same for all of us – we get bogged down with life, days become weeks, weeks become months and before we know it we’ve gone too long without communing with God. In his last remaining months Colby continued in his active speaking ministry; he was working hard in his real estate career and beginning to see great success there; and he was planning his engagement to Holli. This online journal continues to be used by God according to the comments we’ve received. It has been a real bittersweet undertaking for us. We have no words to express how proud we are of our son and brother and how much he is missed. We continue to rely on the promise that one day (and it won’t be long) we will all be reunited with each other in heaven. Thank you again for visiting. – Colby’s dad
Father, thank You for a brand new day. I come to You through Jesus today to say thank You for who You are. I pray that You will put a new song in my heart today and allow me to sing it all day long. I praise You today for I am fearfully and wonderfully made in Your image. You are a great God, great in mercy and mighty to save. Thank You for rescuing me from myself and from the weight of my sin. Help me to keep in step with Your Spirit today. Help me to walk in obedience today, Jesus. Give me strength to throw off the things that hinder me. Continue to grant me insight into Your scripture and open my eyes to the wonder of You. Father, help me to know You more today.
