Love you too Bro. Keith, and each of you dear-ones.

Dear Heavenly Father I want to give You my heart, my hands, my desires, my will and all that I am, dedicated to You for Your service and direction. How often I stumble and every day I fall so far short of where You would have me be. Forgive my sins and iniquities, my failings and shortcomings, Dear Father. Please Abba, Father as it says in Psalm 51, "Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a
right spirit within me". I am so thankful that each day we begin with a clean slate, that our sins were forgiven and nailed to Your Cross of Calvary. As I kneel before Your Throne this day, please mold and make me after Your perfect will, and guide me upon the pathway which You would have me to walk, and please renew a fervent desire to honor and serve You in my thoughts, my words, my deeds. All Glory, all honor, all praises to You, now and forevermore.

Dear Abba, Father we lift up my nephew Damon and his precious Amanda, and each precious child who work and dwell in the Middle east. Please hold them in Your hand Father, keep them safe, and touch their hearts to draw them closer to You in this uncertain hour, and guide them through the hours and days ahead. Please move and minister to all involved and in all hearts and lives in need.

Dear Abba, Father there are so many upon our heart this day whose bodies and or spirits are wounded and broken, who face the new day with great weakness and uncertainty, with great effort to just arise and to go on. Please envelope them in Your love, draw them near, hold them close, lift them up and minister healing, comfort, and an ever deepening measure of faith, that the darkness and uncertainty would be pierced and broken with the Light of Your awesome love, and that Your peace which passes all of our human understanding would enter in. Please Dear Abba, Father lift their spirits and help them to shatter the chains of bondage, and let their spirits soar with Your joy unspeakable and filled with glory.

So many precious ones upon our heart and in our most fervent prayers, that if each were to be mentioned our post would become a novel in volume. Please Abba, Father please move and minister to each precious one who we embrace in our heart, please draw them near, hold them close, and bless each one in every area of need, in Jesus' name, according to Your perfect will and eternal love for Your precious children. Above all please help to find Your Word and to behold and embrace Your Cross of Calvary, and Your salvation through Christ Jesus our Lord, in Whose name we pray. Thank You Abba, Father.

[Murph]

Amen.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You so much for this special day which You have bestowed upon us. A special day because You have given it to us, and it is another opportunity to serve You and to share Your love with others. Dear Abba, Father please forgive our sins and shortcomings, and please help us to dedicate our hearts and lives for Your service, and our all for Your Glory alone.

Dear Abba, Fath
er there are so many who are embraced in our heart and most fervent prayers and desires for succor for their hurts and heartaches. We lift up Mary's dear sister, who is an amputee, whose leg was broken by trying to stand at the insistence of the therapist. Father she now has pneumonia, is incapacitated and bed-ridden and is so far away from her beloved family. Dear Abba, Father please move and minister healing, comfort, peace, to this precious lady and her dear family, and please move and minister in every area of need, in Jesus' Holy Name.

Dear Abba, Father please envelope our dear sister Helen with Your love on her birthday today. She has just lost her most precious wee-kitty, and her loving heart is feeling such pain and sadness. Please Dear Abba, Father grant her a special gift of a deepening measure of faith and assurance, that You are so near and how special she is in the hearts and lives of her dear ones. Please Dear Abba, Father there are so many who have given unconditional love to a precious wee-pet, and have had to place them into Your loving Hands, and have had to say goodbye dear-one. Please bless and minister comfort to these precious hearts, in Jesus' Name.

Dear Abba, Father there are so many who we lift up in our heart and in our prayers this day. Those precious ones who are so far away, those precious ones who have so blessed so many who are hurting and in need, those precious ones who as Your servants have bestowed gifts of caring, of unconditional love, who have brought joy, succor, nurture, a smile, a hand of unconditional caring, who have pierced through the world's darkness and shared the eternal Light of Your awesome love to those most in need. Please Abba, Father move and minister to their loving hearts, and in every area of need in their lives, according to Your perfect will and eternal love for Your precious children.

How lacking is the length of our arms, so often the use of our legs or bodies, how limited are our human resources. How I praise You Abba, Father for the most precious gift of a heart which can expand and Your Love which resides within, that is never limited by either space or time. Your gift of love that no matter how many more we meet, however far we travel, no matter the travails we experience along life's way, Your love is always present, and our heart can expand and envelope each precious soul we meet, and love a multitude without condition and in Your Name without reservation. Praise You Abba, Father for Your awesome gift of love, of faith, and the blessed assurance of our waiting Home in Glory, all because of Jesus of Nazareth, and that old Cross of Wood so long ago and far away. To You Abba, Father we give our hearts, our lives, all honor, all praise, all Glory. Thank You Father.

Amen...

Dear Heavenly Father we begin a new month, and we greet this new day which You have made. Thank You Abba, Father for the multitude of blessings which You have given, and for each precious one which is embraced in our heart, and blesses our life. Please Father forgive our sins and shortcomings, our selfishness and rebellions in Jesus' name, and help us Father to place our faith and trust in Christ,
and to yield to You and Your perfect will for our lives and walk with You.

Dear Abba, Father, the visions of each of my precious ones crosses my mind's eye as they are hugged in my heart. There are so many needs, so many daily trials and struggles that each one goes through, that each precious one faces as they open their eyes and begin the new day. Please Dear Abba, Father, as I lift each precious one up throughout the day, and as each one hurts or struggles, please move and minister and bless each one in every area of need. Please Dear Lord heal those who are so sick and incapacitated, whose every breath is a struggle, whose every movement a pain-filled trial.

Please Dear Abba, Father minister to those whose hearts are broken, who face darkness and hopelessness. Please Lord pierce through the overwhelming darkness and devastation and bring them hope and comfort in their hour of need. Above all Lord we ask for an ever deepening measure of faith for all that Your salvation and a true and eternal relationship with You would become the reality for those who are lost and on the road to destruction. Please pierce through the darkness, break asunder the chains of bondage, and guide these precious ones from the broad path of destruction onto the Narrow and Only Way of the Cross.

Dear Heavenly Father we place this new month, this new day, each of those precious ones so uppermost in our hearts and in our minds, and our self and every fiber of our being into Your Hand, Your perfect will and praise and honor You for Your eternal love for Your precious children, in Jesus' Holy Name. Thank You Abba, Father, the LORD GOD of Abraham, Issac, Jacob, and each Saint of the Living God who has gone before us and who journeys with us upon faith's pathway. Please illuminate Your Word of Truth for our hearts and understanding this day and through all the days to come, that the Bible would be our yardstick of Truth and Light upon our path. To You be all Glory, all honor, all praise, today and forevermore. Thank You Abba, Father.

Please Abba, Father I pray for Jan for Your healing touch that all sickness in the lungs would be gone, and that her airways would be once again opened and flowing, in Jesus' name, according to Your perfect will. I lift up so many in my heart this day Mom, Joe, Judy, Stacia, Suzanne, Kay, Mark, Charles and each and every one of those precious ones who have sickness, disease, infirmity, physical ailments, and limitations. Please Abba, Father move and minister for each for healing, comfort, peace, wisdom for doctors and caregivers, a deepening measure of faith and trust in You, through Christ Jesus our Lord.

Please set Your children free Abba, Father, and help them to find a faith and trust in You that will stand and not be moved, and endow each precious one with Your certainty of Promise of our Mansions in Glory, and that nothing can ever separate us from Your eternal love through Christ Jesus our Lord.

As we go through the day we pray for strength for the journey, faithfulness in walk and deed, and that as each precious one comes to mind, that You would already be ministering to them. We pray for the wee-little lambs taken from their homes and families, that You would keep them safe, and bring them home. We pray for the children on distant battlefields, that You would watch over them and keep them safe, and bring them home. We pray for our Brethren around the world, those precious servants of the Living God who face persecution, torture, and death for our faith, that You would be with each one and their families and churches. Thy will be done Abba, Father upon the earth as it is in Heaven.

We honor You, we praise You, we lift You up in our thoughts, our hearts, and with every fiber of our being, that You would be Lord of our hearts and of our lives. Glory to You for all You are and for all You do, and for Your perfect will and everlasting love for Your precious children. Thank You Abba, Father.

Dear Heavenly Father how precious is the new day which You have bestowed upon us, and please help us to seek You with our heart and most fervent desire. How sad it is when we let down and fall so far short of Your perfect will and desire, and how our flesh , our Old Nature and frailties get in the way. We seek Your forgiveness, and Your renewal within our heart and life.

Dear Abba, Father we lift up the family and dear-ones, especially the wee-ones of this young mother, Ashley who was just murdered in Topeka, Our heart breaks for the darkness and agony of tragedy and loss which her precious aunt Robin in Council Grove, and each of her family and loved ones is experiencing. Dear Abba, Father please draw them near, hold them close, envelope each precious one with Your Love, and please minister Your comfort and peace, and an ever deepening measure of faith which can be so shaken and in such need. We pray for justice and Your Truth to prevail, and we pray for the perpetrator to be caught and convicted, and especially for Your conviction to enter-in and their soul to be redeemed. We pray that You would move and minister in the hearts and lives of all involved, in Jesus' Holy Name.

Dear Abba, Father the prayer list lies close at hand atop my Bible, Your living Word. Please Father we lift up each precious one on the list, and each precious one we embrace with our own love each day. Please Abba, Father please move and minister to each one this day, and in every area of desperate need, to provide succor to the suffering, hope to those without, faith where there is lacking, and Your eternal Light of love to pierce through the darkness and shine brightly for Your precious children.

Thank You Glorious Father for the community recognizing the desperate needs, coming together and ministering last Wednesday, to the hearts and lives of the Council Grove and surrounding children and their families. We pray that the seeds of Your love were planted, and a glorious harvest of hope and redemption will be produced. Our Enemy is real and the evil preys upon the most vulnerable. We pray that Your will be done and Your servants stand against the darkness, and the Light of Your love prevail and set the captives free.

To You Abba, Father our LORD GOD, to You be all honor, all glory, all praise this day and forever more. In the name of Jesus of Nazareth, the Lamb of God, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, our Lord, our God, our Messiah, our Redeemer, we pray. Thank You Father.

Dear Heavenly Father we kneel before the Throne of Your glory this morning with with the eyes of our heart lifted up above the earth and all circumstances, and focused upon You and the Glory of Your love and majesty. We rededicate our heart, our life, this day and every fiber of our being to You. Forgive us our iniquities and how short we have fallen, and please help us in our feeble walk with You, that we might do Your will and serve You better in the days ahead.

Dear Abba, Father I have placed my dear-one Jan at the top of my prayer list, as she has been the one to fill my heart with such love for the last 40 years. How very thankful I am that You brought her into my life and how much of an inspiration, and blessing her love and caring heart has been to this old man. Father we pray for a miracle of Your healing touch that all sickness, disease, congestion would be gone, and that she would be healed and fully restored, in Jesus' name. We pray for wisdom for the doctors and caregivers, a good report from the tests on Thursday, and that You would move and minister Your love, Your comfort, Your peace which passes all of our human understanding, and an ever deepening measure of faith and trust in You in each of our hearts, and in the hearts of our precious ones. Help us to lift up our eyes from the darkness of trial and to behold our eternal destination and the glory of Your true and everlasting promises.

Dear Father I lift up those precious ones upon my prayer lists and upon my heart this day. Those precious dear-ones in the hurricanes path, that You would hold them safely in Your Hand and bring them through this brutal storm. The family and dear-ones of Konley, who was killed while helping change a tire on a darkened roadway, that his legacy of love and caring and Your majestic love would move and minister and bring them comfort and peace in this darkest of hours. Please move and minister healing for those in medical need Father and provide wisdom for the caregivers, and comfort and peace to each precious heart in need. There are so many on my heart and written on my tablet, and so many needs and most fervent desires for solace and succor in the hour of need, how I wish that I could reach out and provide resolution, but I lift up my hands to You Abba, Father as You are in all places and situations, and each of Your precious children are in Your Hand this day.

How deeply I fear that there are so many who place their hearts, their faith and trust into themselves and the worldly values. Dear Father please pierce through the darkness of complacency and open eyes so blind and break asunder the chains of bondage, and reveal to each soul the shining glory of Calvary, the path of redemption through Christ Jesus our Lord, and the narrow pathway which truly leads to You and the shining Glory which awaits the children of the Living God.

To You Abba, Father be all Glory, all Honor, All praise this day and forevermore, and may Your will be done upon the earth as it is in Heaven. In the name above all names, the Lamb of God, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Alpha and the Omega, our Creator, our Sustainer, our Redeemer, Christ Jesus our Lord we pray. Thank You Father for hearing our prayers and for Your eternal love for Your precious children.

Every time I look into the Holy Book, I wanna tremble
When I read about the part where a carpenter cleared the temple
See those buyers and the sellers were no diff'rent fellas
Than what you & I profess to be
And it causes me shame to know that man is not what he should be

Put your hand in the hand of the man who stilled the water
Put your hand in the hand of the man who calmed the sea
Take a look at yourself, & you can look at others diff'rently
Put your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee

Hey, my mama taught me how to pray, before I reached the age of seven
When I'm down on my knees, hey, I'm close to heaven."
My daddy lived his life with 2 kids & a wife
& you've got to do what you've got to do
But he showed me enough of what it takes to see you through

This is what he used to tell me...

Put your hand in the hand of the man who stilled the water
Put your hand in the hand of the man who calmed the sea
Ya got'a take a good look at yourself, & you can look at others diff'rently
Put your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee

I begin each day by placing my hand anew into the nail-scarred Hand of my dear Savior, and walking through the day with His assurance that He will never leave nor forsake me. We have the very Word of God which declares that NOTHING which comes our way in this old world can ever separate us from His love through Christ Jesus our Lord.(Romans 8)

Each precious one upon my list, Jan, Stacia, the family and dear-ones of Konley, each of those in the hurricane's path, my precious children and grand-babies, and great-grandbabies, all of our family and friends who are family, each precious one upon my heart this day and always, I place all of their needs into the nail-scarred Hand of God, this day and each of the days to come. His will is perfect and His love eternal for His precious children. You are each so loved so deeply treasured this day and forevermore. Love is amazing as it knows no limitation and is never reduced by either time or distance, and what a glorious culmination we who have placed our faith and trust in Christ, have to look forward to, when we finally get Home.

Open our eyes, Lord
We want to see Jesus
To reach out and touch Him
And say that we love Him
Open our ears, Lord
And help us to listen
Open our eyes, Lord
We want to see Jesus

He paid a debt He did not owe
I owed a debt I could not pay
I needed someone to wash my sins away
And now I sing a brand new song:
“Amazing grace” (amazing grace)
Christ Jesus paid the debt that I could never pay

Open my eyes, Lord
I want to see Jesus
To reach out and touch Him
And say that I love Him
Open my ears, Lord
And help me to listen
Open our eyes, Lord
We want to see Jesus

Christ Jesus paid the debt that I could never pay
