Since God offers to manage our affairs for us, let us once and for all hand them over to His infinite wisdom, in order to occupy ourselves only with Himself and what belongs to Him. -J.P. de Caussade
Andrea & EJ Wyatt are 22 weeks pregnant with their son, Luke. (Andrea is Lois & San Hanson’s daughter) The doctors have discovered that Luke has a small cyst on his brain caused by excess spinal fluid. Although the doctors say this is fairly common - they are concerned enough to send Andrea to a specialist. Please pray Father’s protection around this precious child.
Kelli Hastings has discovered a lump in her breast the size of a quarter. She will be having a mammogram and an ultrasound on December 28th.

God Who Fills Eternity,
You are the Great I AM, Who was and is and is to come. You fill time and space with Your glory, the heavens and earth bow down before Your majesty, You are our Almighty God. We, Your children, praise You and worship You. We love You, LORD
El Nose, our forgiving God, we confess that we have sinned before You. We have failed to live as Your children. Forgive us for our shortcomings and wrong choices. Guide us in our choices and help us to be more like You. We choose to be Your holy people
We pray a special prayer for Baby Luke, that You will touch him and heal him, even in his mother’s womb. Be with Andrea and EJ as they go through this stressful time.
We lift up before You, Emmanuel, God With us, our friends and family - Kelli, Cori, Debbie, Anthony, Sharleen, and Jo asking that You place Your healing hand upon them
Jehovah Jirah, Lord God Who provides, we pray for Dr. Ron Martin and for the Prague mission team as they travel to other countries to serve you. We pray for all those who serve You on the mission field and ask, Spirit of God, that You renew them daily, strengthen them and guide them. We pray a wall of protection around them.
LORD Jesus, help us to keep the wonder and joy of Christmas in our hearts throughout the year. Help us to cherish the miracle of God becoming man - the Uncreated taking on the flesh of the created. Help us to share Your gift of love and reconciliation to all those that we meet. Give us the courage and the words to say to our friends and family.
Abba, please place Your hand on each situation and each person who continues to be on out prayer chain. Fill them with Your presence and give them new hope.
We thank You, Holy Spirit, for the men and women that You have called to be pastors and leaders in our community of faith. Help us to love and support them in all that they do. We lift up Pastor Mike Shelton and thank You for his work with our families. We praise You for Mike and his heart that is as big as Texas and we ask that You fill his heart and mind with a fresh vision of who You are.
You are Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. Our lives are lived within Your love and care. We surrender our lives to You. We are Your duelos - we choose to be Your bond-servants, to have no will other than Yours in our lives.
We ask Your blessings on our country, that she will come back to You where she belongs. We lift up our leaders and pray that Your wisdom be on them. We pray for our military men & women all around the world, but particularly for those in harm’s way.
Abba, You have given us the gift of eternal life and that life has started here on earth. You fill our lives with Your presence, with Your joy, with Your peace. We have a good life and we thank You for it. But the truth is that we are out of place on this earth. It is not our home. Our home is where You are and we long to be with You, to take our place with the multitudes that surround Your throne and lift our voices in praise of You.
