Trust in the Name!

We will shout for joy when you are victorious

and will lift up our banners in the name of our God.

May the LORD grant all your requests.

Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed;

he answers him from his holy heaven

with the saving power of his right hand.

Some trust in chariots and some in horses,

but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.

Psalm 20:5-7

Heavenly Father,

My Lord and my God! How great it is to be able to come to you and put my cares into your hands. You are so able and willing to hear and answer me. I can rest, knowing you are in control.

I pray for Bruce, who is in the hospital with broken and crushed bones in his leg and ankle. I know you have created those bones from nothing, and you can if you choose recreate them from the splinters that remain. You can cause them to come back together the way they are meant to be. Hebrews 11:3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. I ask that you glorify yourself in the eyes of the unbelievers - when the doctor goes back in for surgery today, that he finds improvement if not a complete healing of his leg and ankle. If this is not your will, then I pray you give Bruce the grace to endure what is ahead.

I pray for Faye, who is in the hospital with pancreas problems. I thank you that the doctors were able to determine the cause of her sickness. I pray you would be with her today as they do tests and decide a course of treatment for her. I pray that you would speak to her during this time. Remind her of who you are. I pray that she would experience something special with you as a result of this illness.

I pray that you would continue to comfort the boys in the loss of their father. there is no way for us to comprehend or understand something like that let alone try to explain to a 10 and 6 year old. Only you can get them through.

I pray for Scott as he travels. I pray that you would give him the words to say when he talks to his friend. I pray that you would reveal yourself to that man. I pray the things he thinks he already knows would not cloud the truth about who you are and the kind of relationship you want to have with him.

I thank you for hearing me, and I know that you are able!
I pray in Jesus Name!
Amen
