Chrissy Patterson Family

Lord, this week we lift up to you the Patterson family. Give them, O Lord, a steadfast heart, which no unworthy affection may drag downwards; give them an unconquered heart, which no tribulation can wear out; give them an upright heart, which no unworthy purpose may tempt aside.  Bestow upon them also, O Lord our God, understanding to know you, diligence to seek you, wisdom to find you, and a faithfulness that may finally embrace you; through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.

Dan

O God, we know you care about each of your children. We praise your loving kindness, your merciful grace. This day we lift to you Dan.  As he does his best to serve you with faithfulness and honor, hold him tightly.  Give him courage. Help him feel your love. We pray for your strength, your wisdom and your reconciliation. Amen.

Tommy and Fuzzy Family

Lord, we are filled with gratitude for the many blessings we share: being together, abundance, well-being. Gracious God, we seek in our living a greater awareness of Your presence and your blessing upon the Reynolds family.  Move us to forgiveness. Gently ask that we let go of hurts and overlook shortcomings; Give us hope during time of difficulty and change. Help us to see and nurture goodness within each soul You've entrusted. May Your enduring love strengthen our bonds as we become blessings for one another and all who need our care. Amen

John and Eun Young Family

All praise to You, Lord Jesus, Lover of children: Bless the Reynolds family, and help them to lead their children to You.   Give them light and strength, and courage when the task is difficult.  Let Your Spirit fill them with love and peace, so that they may help their children to love You.  All glory and praise are Yours, Lord Jesus, for ever and ever. Amen.

Chrissy

Dear Lord, today we turn to you to give you thanks for Chrissy. Please help her to remain a loving mother to her children and to keep balance in her life. Help her to remember that you are with her in every packed hour of every day. Give her the grace to maintain her loving life at home; and the deepest knowledge in her heart that you love her. Strengthen her when she is down and give her hope when she is discouraged. Amen.

Anna

Lord, we thank you for the precious gift of Anna in our lives. We know that every good gift comes from You, and that You have given her to us to care for and raise. Help us to release her into Your protection, guidance, and counsel. To us not to live in fear of possible dangers, but in the joy and peace of knowing that You are in control. We rely on You for everything, and this day we trust and release Anna into Your hands. Amen.

Luke

Lord, we lift up Luke to you as we thank you for the blessing he is to our family. 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. As the Jewish Sabbath blessing goes, 'May God make you like Ephraim and Menashe'." (Genesis 48:20). Amen.
