My daughter who just turned 7 was proud to show what she wrote on the note app on her iPod. It was cute, it was sweet and I am 100 percent sure that it made the Lord smile.
My daughter wrote a surprise note
Nightly Prayer -12/07/16
Lord, as I sit in between my two daughters as they sleep peacefully this night, I pray lord for their health. I pray lord for wonderful experiences that will strengthen their faith and trust in you. I pray that they will remember you in time when the road is not so straight. I pray for K as she will be in the schools Nativity play. I pray for N as she is getting better and catching up on school work. I pray for J as you walk with her on college. I pray for my wife and thank you for the rock she is in my life.
I pray lord for all those who are looking for you. I pray for an experience they will never forget. I pray for family, friends, and readers that are suffer lord. Whatever that suffering is, please help them.
Finally, I pray for myself. I pray for knowledge and compassion. I pray to never boast. I pray to be a mirror of your love.
In Jesus Name, Amen

Prayer request from A.R.R.
Received this today in the prayer request page. Please life up P.C. in your prayers.
Please pray for my wife and I. I (have) been wanting another child, but she (has) been afraid/fearful with her high blood pressure (and) that it will be difficult during her pregnancy and put the child at high risk. Keep us in your prayers.
Merry Christmas Family….
God Bless

A.R.R., You will be in all our prayers. This is a tough one because its praying for what you want and at the same time praying for someone else (in this case your wife) to be comfortable with what you are praying for. Wanting another child is something i can relate to. I also know how stressful and worrisome any pregnancy can be.
It is in my heart to pray NOT for your wife to change her mind or for you to receive what you are praying for BUT to pray for complete trust and submittal to the will of God. The bible teaches us to trust the lord in all and rely on his infinite understanding. I pray that you trust the Lord in his decision to help you have a child (or not) AND more importantly, I pray that your wife TRUSTS the lord if she does (or does not) get pregnant.
Psalm 84:11
For the LORD God is our sun and our shield. He gives us grace and glory. The LORD will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right.
Please keep us updated A.R.R. and rest assured that you have brothers and sisters in Christ that are praying for you and your family.

Daily Devotional – Why I love Christmas
I love Christmas. Christmas is a time with family and friends, crowded malls, shopping, egg nog, Christmas plays, exchanging gifts, more crowded malls, more shopping, etc. It can drive you completely crazy but thats okay!
This morning, Max Lucado reminded me why i love this time of year. Its the time of year where everyone and i mean EVERYONE asks, thinks, talks, reflects on Jesus. Even non believers will be seeing displays of the manger or the three kings following the star. The birth of Jesus, so humble so peaceful is a story thats being told every min of this month and as a Christian, I am aware that this is an opportunity to share Christ.
Do you know someone who loves this time of year and is not a Christian? If so, pray that the Holy Spirit move you in sharing what this time of year really means to them. As followers of Christ, it is our duty to share the word of Christ to all. This time of year just makes it that much easier.
Lets the season of sharing the Word of God begin! Have a good morning – PJSLB
This is conversation my wife and i will be having very soon!
