Dear Father

Amen, here too, brother.

[Caretaker]

It is so nice to have the time back to regular hours. The colors of the eastern sky are a fluorescent pastel, sweeping from the northern to southern hills.

Every precious soul has a sunrise to experience, a day to be savored, and a dusk to reflect upon. May we take the time to allow our hearts to savor a moment for it is unique in all the earth, is fleeting at best, and the pathway goes on and it is left behind.

Dear Father thank You so much for this day that is laid out before us and for the opportunities to savor the beauty which You have placed all around us. Thank You Dear Father for the multitude of blessings which You have so freely given, and forgive us Lord for the many times and the many ways in which we have failed to live as You would have us to. Praise You for Your perfect will and eternal love for Your precious children, and please take the reins of our heart, and guide us according to the direction You would have us to proceed.

Dear Father there are so many who are suffering the devastation on the east coast, so many precious ones upon my prayer list who are in need of healing, comfort, peace, and relief. Please move and minister Your healing in our dear ones, comfort in time of need, Your peace which passes all of our human understanding to each troubled soul, and an ever deepening measure of faith and trust in You to us all. Please help our faith and trust to be from deep within our hearts, and help us to be quiet and open to Your Holy Spirit which dwells within us, that You might move and make us according to Your plan and purpose.

Help us Father to minister to others and to glorify You first and foremost. Help us Lord to pause in our goings and comings, to savor the moment and to offer to You our praise and thanksgiving. YOU are Lord of our hearts, our days, and all of our tomorrows, and help us to look beyond the surroundings and circumstances and to behold the glory and majesty of our awaiting Home with You. In Jesus' Holy name we pray. Thank You Abba, Father.

Dear Heavenly Father we kneel before Your Throne this day, and place our hearts, our loved ones, and the prayer list atop my Bible before Your Throne, into Your Hand, and into Your perfect will and eternal love for Your precious children. Please move dear Abba, Father and minister in the hearts, the lives and to the desperate needs of each precious one upon our list and embraced within our heart. Please bring healing to the sick, succor to the suffering, peace and comfort in the hour of need, and Your awesome Light of love and Truth in the hour of darkness and despair in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Dear Father we lift up those who are lost, and those who while speaking of You with their lips, their hearts are wrapped up in worldly things and their desires are opposed to You. Please pierce through the darkness, break their chains of bondage, and reveal Your salvation through Calvary's rugged Tree, and the redemption found ONLY in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Dear Father we give You all honor, all praise all glory this day and in all the days ahead. In Jesus' name we pray. Thank You Father.

Dear Heavenly Father we thank You for this day and the multitude of special blessings which You have bestowed, and the answered prayers in the hearts and lives of Your children. Thank You Father for enveloping Michael, Judy, and the girls, with Your love, and for bringing the wee Duncan Michael safely into the world. Please bless this precious young family and guide them safely as they continue their walk of faith with You. We continue to hold them in our hearts and most fervent prayers.

Thank You Dear Abba, Father for the glorious blessings of family and friends who are family, and the multitude within our heart who are Brethren, whose hearts and prayers, whose love and support fills our hearts with such overwhelming joy. Thank You Abba, Father for my precious one Jan, and for her renewed appetite and for the return of comfort and vitality. Thank You Father for my precious children and grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and for their love and encouragement, and hearts which redeemed and walk with You. Your love, peace, comfort, and provision is so truly awesome as we walk the paths laid out before us, and are so enveloped in Your love and glory through Christ Jesus our Lord.

As the prayer list is placed into Your Hand and into Your love, we note the changes, the answers to our petitions, and Your movement and ministering within the hearts and lives of so many. You are our Creator, our Savior, our All in All, the Lord of our hearts, and our Lives, the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings, and the Glorious One Who holds all of our tomorrows. You have the very hairs of our head numbered, and You see every need in our lives before ever it is needed. We place our faith and trust in You and may You fill our hearts with Your Glory, and take up once again the reigns of our heart. In the name above all names, our Lord Jesus Christ, we pray. Thank You Father for Your perfect will and eternal love for Your precious children.

[Caretaker]

Dear Heavenly Father we come before Your throne with thanksgiving in our hearts and Your joy unspeakable and filled with glory which floods through our soul, for we glory in this new day, the opportunity to walk with You, and the excitement of knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that each step we take, each new day puts us one step closer to finally going Home. It matters not the circumstance, or the trials we will yet endure, for the path ahead is for You to know, but we know it leads to You.

Into Your Hand we place the burdens upon our heart, and the petitions upon our list, the dear ones all and the most fervent needs we place into Your perfect will and eternal love for Your precious children. Please Father we ask that You would move and minister to the precious ones, we pray for healing and comfort to those in need, peace, joy, and an ever deepening measure of faith to all who lack, and the overwhelming glory of Your salvation to all who are lost, in Jesus' Holy Name.

As we enter the valley of trial, as the darkness of the world around closes in and can so overwhelm, Dear Father please pierce through the darkness and shine forth the Light of Your love and majesty, that we can look up from the burdens of circumstance and behold Your Glory and eternity. Break all chains of bondage Lord, no matter the circumstance help us to soar free with You. As with Brother Paul in the chains in the prison, help us to sing praises unto You, and may Your Glory knock down all prison walls, break asunder the chains of our captivity, and let Your Light shine forth for all to see from within our hearts and lives this day. To You be all glory, all honor, all praises this day and forevermore. In Jesus' Holy name, the Lamb of God, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the Alpha and the Omega, our Creator and the One Who has redeemed us and set us free eternally, in the name of Jesus we pray this day. Thank You Father.

[Caretaker]

Dear Father God I kneel before Your throne this day and place the burdens upon my heart upon the alter of Your majesty. Please forgive our sins, our failings, our short-comings, and please help us to do better for You this day, to be more yielded to Your will, and more open to the guidance and ministration of Your Holy Spirit. Thank You Abba, Father for the blessings You have bestowed, and for the
strength, the comfort, the peace which You have provided to walk through this valley of loss and separation. We praise You in our infirmities, and in our circumstances, and You comfort and provide, for You are as close as the very next breath we take, the very next beat of our heart. Glory to You O Lord, for You will never leave nor forsake us, and You liftup our soul and we mount up on eagles wings.

Dear Abba, Father we place ourselves, all of our precious ones, and the dear-ones upon our list of petitions, into Your Hand and into Your love this day. Please Abba, Father move and minister in every area of need, that there would be healing for the sick, succor for the suffering, comfort for each precious heart which is wounded and hurting, that they might have peace, and a renewal of strength and an ever deepening measure of faith. We pray for the lost, that the seed of Your Word would be planted, find root, and grow and mature. Pierce through the darkness O Lord, with the Light of Your Truth, break all chains of bondage, and set the captives free, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ we pray.

Help us O Lord, that when the burdens become overwhelming, the heartache and pain so intense, that we cannot seem to rise up to face the morning light, hear our cries O Father, the pleas of Your children, that the eyes might look up from the crushing weight of circumstance, and see the open Hands of Your love, into which we can place our burdens, and receive from You a renewal of strength in our desperate hour of need.

Praise You Glorious Lord for Thy loving kindness is better than life, with my lips I shall praise Thee, with my heart I shall adore Thee, and I will kneel before Thee and lift up my hands unto You, and praise You for Your perfect will and everlasting love for Your precious children. Thank You Father.

Dear Father God I kneel before Your Throne this day, and into Your Hand and into Your love I place myself, my precious children, each dear-one upon my heart and my list of petitions, for only You know the way which leads onward, and only You know what is needed. Help us O Lord as the darkness incloses and the burdens weigh so heavy upon our heart. The night is long and so often we cannot seem to h
ave the strength to arise from the bed and even meet the day. Dear Abba, Father please bring comfort to the hearts so heavy, strength to the muscles so weak, and Your peace which passes all human understanding to our soul, that as the day dawns we can arise sustained with Your grace and greet the dawn's first light with a true joy unspeakable and filled with Your Glory.

Please Abba, Father move and minister in the hearts and lives of those who we embrace in heart and prayers, according to Your perfect will and eternal love for Your precious children. For those who are sick, infirm, so wounded by life's trials and failures, we pray for Your touch of healing and a miracle of restoration, that all sickness, disease, and infirmity would be gone and they would be healed and restored, in Jesus' name. Be with those precious ones, whose hearts are so burdened, so deeply wounded. Dear Abba, Father please lift up their burdens and bring them rest, and comfort, that their strength would be renewed in You, and they will find comfort and peace. Help each one of us Abba, Father to look up from the valley of trial and pain, and to behold Your love and glory, and please reinforce our faith, rebuild our armor that once more we can arise and stand steadfast against the darts of the enemy, and persevere in the face of any adversity, that we can overcome and be filled with Your glory in Jesus' name we pray.

How we praise You this day O Lord, how we lift up our hands and our hearts as we sing praises unto our God, our Creator, our Lord of Lords and King of Kings, how great is Thy name, how glorious Thy Word, for You alone are Lord of our lives, our hearts, all of our days and tomorrows. Your will be done O Lord, and may we seek to place more and more of our faith and trust into Your love, and may You ever pick us up when we fall and restore our faith and trust in You. All glory, all honor, all praise to You, in the name above all names, our Lord and Savior Jesus of Nazareth, the Lamb of God and the returning Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the Mighty God, the everlasting Father we praise, we pray, we petition this day. Thank You our Heavenly Father.

Each precious one upon the lists upon Your Word is so special and the needs so great, and how my heart breaks at our limitations and shortcomings, our frailties and imperfections. If only we could reach out and make it all better for these dear-ones all, but how we glory in You Father Who sees the tiny sparrow when it falls, and has every hair numbered upon each head, Who knows every cell and fiber of our being and the perceptions and desires of our heart, before ever our ancestors were born.

Dear Heavenly Father how awesome is Your Majesty, how we cannot even imagine the Glory which is You and surrounds and envelopes the grandeur of the Heavenlies. We see the world around and how thankful we are for Your love and all of the multitude of blessings which You have given us. How thankful we are for this new day, and the opportunity to love others and to savor our walk with You. Dear Abba,
Father please take my hand, take up the reins of my heart, and guide us as You will through the next minutes, hours, and through all the days ahead. May we be yielded to You and please let us be of some use to You, and may we make a bit of a difference in the hearts and lives of others, all for Your glory and according to Your perfect will.

Dear Father we place our hand upon our prayer lists, which lies upon our old King James this day, each precious one listed so hugged within our heart and fervent desire. Please Abba, Father please move and minister for each of these dear ones, in each area of most desperate need. Please bring them healing and restoration, comfort in the hour of need, Your peace which goes so far beyond our human understanding, and as we open up our hearts more and more to You, please bring Your joy unspeakable and filled with Glory, like a mighty fountain which just wells up within our soul. Please Abba, Father bless these most precious ones this day in every area of need, and guide the ones so separated from You by sin, to Your Cross of Calvary and the amazing redemption in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Dear Father as I begin this day please move within me as it says in your Word, and create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me, and let me be dedicated first and foremost to You and Your eternal and everlasting love for Your precious children. Whatever might come, whatever be my path to walk, let me be Your servant and the clay which You mold and make after Your perfect will. Thy will be done O Father on earth as it is in Heaven, to You be all glory, all praise, all adoration this day and forevermore. Thank You Abba, Father.
