A prayer for today

Father God, Thank you for loving us and for coming for us in your Son. Thank you for your Holy Spirit that stirs up faith in us. Please keep sending Him to help our hearts believe with a simple, yet strong, child-like faith. Thank you Lord, for the Church at Sunshine - for Elders that lead us in love. Please bless them Father and keep them from the evil one. Please bless them in every way. Thank you for their guidance and dedication to teaching Your entire word. Thank you for a family that believes your entire word. Help us to grow. Thank you for our ministers. For Steve and his heart. For His passion for you and his dedication to your word. Thank you for Jamie and his heart. For his incredible vision of who you are and his encouraging attitude. Please bless both of them and their families with all that you know they need. Please bless all of our leaders in their work and in their families.

Father, you are a consuming fire. Please consume us and give us great passion for Jesus. Make us prisoners of your grace and of the Gospel. Above all, let Your will be done in each of us. Because, somehow, happiness for us comes when your will is done. Help us and keep us faithful to complete this life in you. And, help us take many with us to our home with You. Lord, we long for the day when Jesus will own us before you, and we bow before your throne. Please keep us humble before you and fill us with awe. Thank you again Father for Sunshine and her leaders, and for the blessing they are in my life and in this community. In Jesus name, Amen.
