Interceding...

O Father, I come before You tonight crying out for Your help and comfort to the people in the Philippines. Specifically in Tacloban. There is such destruction and devastation filling that place. May they know Your hope, peace, and comfort like never before. Will those that know You offer deep hope and joy in the gospel? There are real needs that need to be met and I pray that Your love and goodness would be shown by those that know You. And may they be bold in sharing Your truth and radical in the way the love and care for those around them. Provide for these people, Jesus!! They are hurting and You are the God of all comfort! They are lonely and You never leave them or forsake them! Their lives are in turmoil and You are a God of peace and comfort!
Father, I praise You for my brother's life and the miracle You have worked there! May You alone get all glory and honor and praise for his story! May he continually seek You and only find his joy and hope in You and Your work on the cross! Deepen his dependence on You in the everyday.
Lord, fill mom with Your peace as she anticipates Thursday. Let her know Your nearness and comfort. Thank You for it only being her wrist that she broke when she fell!! Help her see Your goodness in the little things and that that would cause her heart to sing!!
Jesus, thank You for my sister and our sweet time together this weekend. Father, thank You for her life and heart for You. I praise You for her faith and obedience. Continue growing her and making her more like You and using her to love on Huntington and spread Your name and fame!
Lord, I pray that You would continue to give Matt the endurance and perseverance in his classes online. You have been so faithful to keep him motivated and focused. May he finish well, not for the sake of himself, but because he wants to work as unto You!
The deepest desire of my heart toward my kids is for them to know and love You with everything that they are. Draw their hearts to You, Father. May I rest in the work and perfect timing of Your gracious hand. May their lives be used for Your honor and glory alone. I pray that the eyes of their hearts would be open to the gospel and You would fill them with Your presence!
Father, grow and deepen the passion and pursuit of You in the ladies of our community group. By Your grace and with Your help may this be the one desire of all of our hearts! Remind us daily of Your presence and the freedom and joy to can be found at Your feet!
Lord, I pray for Matt's mom that she would be confident in Your care for her physical and spiritual needs. Help her to know Your nearness and that Your nearness is her good!! Deepen her desire for You and Your Word! Refresh her with Your presence and supply her with every good and perfect gift that only comes from You!!
Lord, with a broken heart I lift up my sweet seminary friends that have lost a baby during mid-pregnancy. Thank You for their faith and trust in You and Your perfect plan and peace. What a testimony of Your grace and work in someone's life! Comfort them in the quiet moments and surround them with people that remind them of Your goodness and mercy! I know their greatest desire is for Your glory to be spread to the nations so use them and their story for You and Your name and fame!
I pray all these things in Your mighty and majestic name and with a heart that is fighting to know You more! AMEN!
