He Is Able!

Now to him who is able to do

immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine,

according to his power that is at work within us,

to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus

throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen

Ephesians 3:20-21

Heavenly Father,

A lot has happened since I last posted a prayer. I am thankful that I don't have to depend on a computer to talk to you. I thank you for the sale of my house. I pray a continued blessing on the new occupants. It was a good house for me and my little girl (who is no longer a little girl). I pray that they would have a good relationship with the neighbors like we did. I pray they would feel at home right away.

I thank you for helping my brother and his family moved safely. I pray that you would help his house to sell quickly. I ask that you be with his girls as they have had to start a new school and are having to meet new friends. I pray your anointing would be on my brother as he leads the congregation into your presence each service to worship you. I pray the church would grow in spiritual depth and be a solid source of strength and learning for all who attend - as well as a place where those can come in the first day and find exactly what they came there for.

I pray for the kids starting school tomorrow. I pray that the year would start off on the right foot for kids and teachers alike. I pray for those who are attending a new school (my daughter included). I pray that you would help them to meet good friends quickly. Be with Alden - she is looking forward to going, but she is nervous too. I pray you would surround her with your angels. If she is alone, send her a friend. If she is lost, send someone to help her find her way. If she doesn't know what to do, send her wisdom to guide her. Help her in her studies to form good study habits and listening skills. I pray she would connect quickly with all her teachers to promote a good atmosphere for learning and growing. I thank you already for being with her always - especially when I can't be.

There are several names with medical and physical needs. I ask that you would be with Al Asbury as he recovers from surgery and makes decisions based on the results. I pray for my aunt Helen. She will go back to the doctor next week to find results of some tests that were done. I pray you would speak to her. Call the word to her memory as she looks for peace in an unknown situation. Draw her back to a close walk with you. I also want to pray for Ashley who was in a bad car accident. I learned the other day that she is believing you for healing. Right now she is in therapy learning to live in a wheelchair, but I will agree with her and believe for healing in her spinal cord. She is 22 and has 2 small children. I pray that as she seeks you and believes you that you would hear her cry out to you - a father listening to his child - and would have compassion on her. I pray you would touch her spinal cord that you yourself created and make it better than it was before the accident. I thank you that you are able and willing to do more than we could ask or imagine.

I pray all these things in Jesus Name and for His sake,
Amen
