Often just the thought of a weekend gets the average person excited. This weekend could be one of the biggest our little family has ever had! Brandon and I will be leaving for the candidating weekend bright and early tomorrow morning. Yes, the weekend actually is a long weekend starting of Thursday. You can read a previous entry to see a schedule of our weekend events. This email is mainly to share our prayer requests. We can not thank each of you enough for your prayers for us throughout this process and throughout our lives! There is power in your prayers! I intended to write out verses for you to pray for each of these requests, but we have small group tonight and I am not going to get each one typed in.
~Pray for our times speaking to groups and Brandon’s time preaching
Psalm 19:14 “May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, my rock and my Redeemer.”
~Pray that we will be great listeners to the needs of the church and to each others needs!
James 1:19b “Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry.”
~Pray that we will recognize our calling and reject all self-doubt.
Ephesians 4:1b “I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.”
~Pray for calm and peaceful hearts with the power of the Holy Spirit!
Philippians 4:6-7 “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving present your requests to God. And the peace of God which transcends all understand, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”
~We know the LORD’s will will prevail (Proverbs 19:21) Pray that we would trust Him!
Psalm 20: 7-8 “Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm.”
~Pray that we both will remain healthy. That Brandon’s voice will hold out and that I will not have any food related issues or reactions!
~Pray His Will be done this Sunday when the church votes for the pastor. We truly feel that the LORD is leading us to the church. I will try and update each night from the hotel, but if it doesn’t work for some reason, please pray esp. on Sunday morning between 9:30 and 10:15 for the message Brandon preaches and after 10:30 for the church meeting and vote!
~Please pray that God will be glorified through us this weekend
Thank you all for getting on your knees for and with us!!!
To God alone be the GLORY!!!
