Almighty God, heavenly Father, you have blessed us with the joy and care of Mason: Give us calm strength and patient wisdom as he is brought up in the faith, that we may teach him to love whatever is just and true and good, following the example of our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
Lord, we thank you for the blessing of the Carters. As they continue their family life together may you bless them in abundance with wisdom and patience. Accept the offering of their married love and make it a source of blessing for us and for all who make up their lives. Draw them towards you as you bring them together in the unity of their love for one another. Amen.
Pilot divine, and Lord of all on high, we lift up Jimmy to you. We thank you for the blessing that he has been in our lives and continues to be. We pray for your strength, your wisdom and your reconciliation in our lives. Continue to purify our hearts with your grace that we may love with a heart as generous as yours. Creator, bless us all as we pray in your holy name. Amen.
Dear God, we lift up Barry to you. Show him your presence and let him feel your enveloping love. Help our unbelief. When we're in pain, we forget that you care about us. We forget that you have helped us through our trials. We forget that you hold us in your arms to keep us safe. We forget that you are feeling our pain with us. We forget that you love us, and that we're important to you. Heal our hurting souls. Thank you for staying with us even in our unbelief. Amen.
