Thank you, Lord. Abba, El-Shaddai, Yahweh. Thank you for the trials I face each day. You have blessed me beyond measure. Thank you that you are the most high. Thank you for speaking to me in that still small voice, yet the one that truly gets my attention.

I pray that each step is carefully taken in the direction you are leading. That each member of this family is lifted up and protected. Father, you have blessed me with each child and I give each back to you knowing you love them more and want more for them than I could ever imagine. I pray that you show them how to guard their hearts, minds and mouths throughout this day. Make them sensitive to your council and a blessing to others around them. I lift each to you that the tests they are taking in school go well. Give them strength, O Lord, all of us, to face each thing that comes our way today be it good or bad. Help me to remember each of them throughout the day with specific prayers.

I lift my friends to you that each face this day with boldness for you and a confidence that this is the day you have made and I pray they rejoice and be glad in it. I pray each of them see you at work and accept your invitation to join you when invited. I pray you give them the gentleness of your spirit to work through anything they face.

I lift my church to you, Father, that you may continue blessing all who attend and those who are yet to attend. I pray you annoint each member in such a way as to draw others to you. I pray for those we have in service for our country and those who are sick and those who are suffering. Father, give each a peace of your presence today.

I pray for Charlie and myself, that we be faithful to you in spite of the circumstances in our lives. I pray for your wisdom and guidance in each step we take. I ask that you bind satan's attack upon us as we face the current trial and that each of us will immediately recognize the attack and use our sword of the word to counter his efforts to knock us off balance and make us doubt. I ask that each decision we make today be the best decision as often it is difficult to tell.

I praise you for all you have done, are doing and will be doing in the lives of all around us. Thank you for your love and your son.

In Jesus precious name, Amen.
