Day #23

"Father God I thank you for each member of my family. God I ask that you would bless them and allow them to be a blessing to you. God I pray that you would protect them, guide them, shelter them and shield them from anything or anyone that would seek to bring them harm. I pray that you would give my wife peace and comfort as she navigates the sometimes choppy waters of raising two sons. I pray that I would be a help to her as she seeks to serve as my helpmate and mother to my sons. I pray that you would give her the desires of her heart. Remind her of the value that she possesses as one of your daughters. May she feel loved, appreciated and cared for by me and the boys. I pray for my sons that you would guard their hearts and protect them from the attack of the enemy. I pray that they would seek you with all of their hearts, souls and minds. Bless them with relationships that bring you glory. Give me insight and knowledge beyond my years and beyond my experience to know how to shepherd them. Give them boldness to chase after You and to serve You all the days of their lives. Give me rest Father. Give me direction. I love you. Amen."

Be encouraged and keep moving forward.
