Psalm 3:8

From the LORD comes deliverance. May your blessing be on your people.

Lord, I ask for Your blessing as I do my best to bless others today. I pray that You will use me to love and care for each of the children in my group: Katie, Savannah, London, Hannah, Holly, Victor, Ryder, Joshua, Charlie, Izzy, Howie, Peyton and Elizabeth.

I pray for Cindy Moran's son, and for Cindy herself, that they would both focus their eyes on You, and that Your abundant and abounding love would envelop them. I pray the same for Leigh and for her mother Donna. I pray for healing for Donna and for Your peace.

I pray for Dad, that he'll know how much I love him. I pray for all of my family members, for your peace and protection over them.

I pray for Katharine, that she will feel Your peace, and that she will read Your book and get back to me.

I pray for the VBS skits I'm writing this week, that You would drive, and that Your words would bring the skits to life.

I am so worried about coming down with a cold or some other virus before Driftwood. Lord, I beg You to protect me from germs today and over the course of the week to come. Lord, I know that I've prayed this before, and that this isn't like a magic trick. I've gotten sick anyway. Lord, I still beg You this time to protect me from germs.

I pray that You will use me powerfully at Driftwood, leading the children with competence and kindness, providing a good example to them, listening to their concerns and helping them. I want to be Your emissary. Will You help me?

Please, Lord, I beg for Your divine protection and help. I pray that I'll be able to get enough sleep, especially the night before, but even if not, that You will use me anyway.

In Your son's precious name I pray,

Amen
