great and merciful God, i thank You for all that You've given to me and my wife, most importantly of all Your Son who gave His life that we may live. i ask this night that You keep my wife and i wholly focused on the growth of Your kingdom and that which will benefit us toward that goal. let us not be hindered by that which we may seem to think is so important in our lives, and let all the things we occupy our time with be a help to us for Your name's sake. thank you for a beautiful day and a wonderful church that is so gospel-minded.
thank You for our animals, our health, our home and the promise of a future in this life that, though not void of troubles and adversity, provides overwhelming and sustaining joy and love. thank You for keeping us despite our shortcomings and loving us enough to be so patient when we sin against our brothers, our sisters and [most importantly] You. thank You for Your tremendous mercy and Your unwavering devotion to the glory of Your name. may we spread Your fame worldwide. come quickly, Lord Jesus. amen.
Lord I am in 100% agreement with my husband. Help us to set our eyes on You. Help us to work out our own salvation and press on in this daily life. To continually be killing sin and sanctified each day. God help us to look to you in our shortcomings and ask for Your grace and sweet tender mercies to grow us and make us more like You. Lord help us to decrease and You increase. We love You Father, please help us to love You more. Let our hearts long to live lives worthy of your calling on our lives, to live lives honorable in your sight, and most importantly to give glory to Your name. Thank You for all you do, God. Amen.
