Prayer 8/12/11

Heavenly Father,

You are our most gracious, and only Heavenly Father.  Thank you for all of the blessings you have given us.  We thank you for all of the big blessings that we acknowlegde frequently, and Father, we thank you for all of the small ones that we often take for granted.  Thank you for ALL of your gifts, these gifts that don't belong to us, but to You, for all is Yours.  Of all the gifts You have given us, we thank You most for the gift of Your Son.  Please reveal to us the sin in our lives through Your Holy Spirit that we may flee from it, and return to You.  We need You in our lives everday, we need to seek You everyday.  Mighty God, please work in all of our hearts at Waco Family.  We are nothing without You, and we can do nothing without You.  Give us hearts of flesh, hearts of clay, so that You may mold our hearts into the likeness of Your Son's.  Father, please convict us to get into Your Word everyday, and give us the courage and wisdom to speak Your truth.  Father God, we need Your Divine blessing to interpret Your word, so show us Your Truth and guard our hearts and minds from the lies and deceit that this world has.  Please, work in the hearts of the families in WFBC, and work in the leaders' hearts of those families that they may continue to develop the skills necessary to lead their families wisely in all spheres of their lives - especially spiritually.  We need you to give them the courage and wisdom to approach those members and to set standards.  Please, show them, for none of us can do it effectually on our own.  We thank You for families, and friends.  Father, the church can not reach it's potential until every member does their part, so please help those leaders encourage each member to use the gifts that You have provided for Your Glory.  Gracious Father, thank You for the time You have povided us to meet together, and thank You for working in our lives.  We can not possibly thank You enough for Your wonderful works, and mercies, and justice, and truth.  We thank You for all You have provided us.  We thank You, and we love You.  Help us to love You more everyday.  And we pray this all in Your Son's most holy, and precious name.  

Amen
