e-Praise & Prayers - April 26, 2006
The Christian faith is meant to be lived moment by moment. It isn't some broad, general outline--it's a long walk with a real Person. Details count: passing thoughts, small sacrifices, a few encouraging words, little acts of kindness, brief victories over nagging sins. Joni Eareckson Tada

You are our Great & Glorious God, our Alpha & Omega, Who Is and Who Was and Who is to Come, You are the Almighty, Who reigns in justice over all eternity.
Holy Jesus, we ask that You intercede with those who continue to be on our prayer list. Meet their needs, be their all-in-all.

We praise You for the pastors and leadership that You have placed to lead our churches. Grant them Your wisdom as they make decisions that affect our church. We pray that our ministries will continue to be effective in spreading the Good News of Eternal Life in Jesus.

God bless America and bring her back to You. Bless our military men and women as they serve.
Abba, I have been so blessed in my life to experience so much of the best life has to offers I have seen beauty so intense that my eyes can hardly hold it. I have heard a bird sing, and a child laugh. I have tasted life at it’s finest. But nothing compares to You. Nothing. You are our joy.
