PRAY!

Good Morning Lord,
My almighty father, perfect savior, thank you for another day. Lord please help me to wake up quickly and be truly attached to you, your body, the vine, your word, the spirit. I pray that every morning I will wake up early and jump with joy ready to have a great quiet time meditating on you and your beauty. Lord you are so powerful, thank you for expressing your power through the changes found in our lives and the freedom you've delivered us to from sin. Lord I'm so sorry for living in sin still even though I'm supposed to be your slave to righteousness. I pray I will repent, change, live according to your holy precepts. I so desperately and humbly need your help to get through the various challenges I face on a daily basis. THough its not always sinds of commission or actions, often times its sins of ommission and sin of the mind. Please Lord help me to control my mind, my thoughts, and really live out your will, meditate on your philosophy, your lifestyle, your holiness rather than mine. You are far beyond measure in everything that is good. Please help us to see that and be attracted to that far above satan's deceitful measure of everything bad. Help me and the entire campus ministry to truly throw off all the sin all the baggage that really has entangled us and stand up free of chains to really proclaim your name on campus, at the beach, at work, in the park, and everywhere we go. I pray that we can ALL be shephards, that we can all strive to at least have the qualities of an elder and truly get the fire back so that we are completely ready to handle the ginormous influx of new disciples that you will bring for us. I pray that as we grow we will only become more stable, not less personal and less stable but more tightly nit by your cement-factor glue that really makes all things stronger. I pray that the spirit will unite us all and that we will be a campus minsitry of SOLID character. HElp us all to truly work on our character and not let the selfishness or unrighteousness hold us back from being perfect and holy and mature in your name. I love you so much Lord, thank you for the greatness that you are. Please please please be with Lisa and I's awesome dating relationship. I know that it will only ever work if you are the head, number one, above all in our relationship. I pray that we will both keep you number one in our own personal lives, and number one in our relationship. I pray that we will do nothing that upsets you...though there will be times we mess up i pray that those will be far outweighed by the times we make you proud. Ipray that she will feel SUPER encouraged by me, my letters, cards, compliments, and quality time--especaily the quality time I get to spend with her this week and the rest of the summer and however long you want us to date for. I pray that if it is your will we might someday be ready to take it to the next level--but only if it is your will. Please allow this weekend to be a great time for me to meet her family and friends, but most importantly I pray that it will be a time i get to encourage Lisa and make her feel special. I pray that I can truly get along with her mom and dad first and then all her sisters, that I can come in and just be very charismatic, relatable, and represent you right. I love you so much and I pray you will continue to guide all my thoughts, attitudes, desires, and increase my faith beyond--far beyond where it is right now. I love you so much, once again please guide me in all I do. I love you, your awesome--oh and please be leading our household meeting tonight. I know that kevin is leading the charge, help him to deliver it right, not to be shy but really say what he needs to say, what you want him to say. I love you once again, thanks for all you do--AMEN!
