The Impossible Prayers

God, right now it seems impossible for...

...My little brother Carsten to become a zealous disciple of Jesus, growing in faith and understanding to the point that he becomes a great leader and evangelist for you; leading many to heaven.

...The surf ministry to double each year. Its currently at 4 disciples (me, Josh, Pete, Wes). We started it 3/14/2010. So by 3/14/2011 it will be 8 disciples (me Josh, Pete, Wes, ____, ____, ____, and ____) and by 3/14/2012 it will be 16. Whenever I leave, I pray someone else will step up and lead it and develop their own dreams with it.

...A pro surfer to become a disciple in the next 5 years, and lead many more surfers to find you.

...Sam Mueller to get baptized before he leaves for Americorps and stay a disciple his entire life.

...me to marry the woman you made for me. Someone that can see all my sinful blindspots, rebuke me when I need it, knock some sense into me when I'm being ridiculous, and love me through my many imperfections. I pray we can love one another, encourage one another, challenge one another, be devoted to one another, serve one another, and be at peace with one another FOREVER. It seems impossible for this girl to also love exploring the world, being put in uncomfortable situations to serve people. For her to balance out all my shortcomings, to be strong in my weaknesses and help me lead her to heaven.

...me to have a son who wants to live like Jesus his entire life, pursuing perfection and developing deep convictions to live a holy life and make it to heaven.

BUT Iknow that through you all things are possible. Help me to have enough faith, to overcome my unbelief and to put my mustard seed faith into action. Help me to develop even more radical things so I won't limit your power your abiblity to act through me.
AMEN!
