120419 (Thursday): Oh Gracious Father God – our hope and help in time of need, our joy and certainty when times are tough – I greet Thee and worship Thee this day. You are the eternal Farmer that condescends to stoop to this earth and get involved in our lives. You nourish us, you cultivate us, you prune us – all for our own good and then you greatly delight in our fruitfulness. Thank you for never giving up on us.
- Dear Father, for this day please open our hearts to you. Stir up in our hearts a love for Thee; may we delight ourselves in Thee to the point that we are inebriated – drunk on new wine and joyful to the roots of our being.
- Be with us in our labor, be with us in our play, be with us in our pain and be with us in our joy, be with us in shared company and be with us when we’re alone…BE WITH US!
- Protect us, guide us and bring us all back home to safety, warmth and love.
- I ask this for my dearly loved family, church family and friends both near and far and for all those that call upon your NAME.
- In Jesus’ name – our great Savior, and by the power of the Holy Spirit I ask these things, Amen.
The ONE THING 
Thank you Pastor for your love and prayers. We love you too. We pray that the Lord will, also, bless you in your Spirit, mind, and body today and thank you Lord that you are with us at all times. Good and not so good.

Thank you Larry! Having you comment favorably on my prayer is like having Michael Jordan commenting favorably on my basketball skills; I’d rather thank you for your prayers on my behalf (and for so many others). Thanks for all you do.
