Dear Lord; Good morning Father.\u00a0 Well, the storm came and went Lord and while those North of us got hit quite a bit harder, we were spared the bulk of it\u2019s magnitude.\u00a0 We got just enough snow to keep the kids home from school and for Shannon\u2019s workplace to close for the day, but not too much for me to make it out to the office.\u00a0 Thank You so much for that balance!<\/p>\n
As you know Father, I\u2019ve had quite a bit on my mind and in my heart as of late so I thought today I\u2019d use our time together to cover some of those thoughts in prayer.<\/p>\n
Heavenly Father, several days ago a friend of some friends of mine and his family suffered a horrendous house fire and lost all their earthly possessions.\u00a0 While I don\u2019t know them personally, several of my friends know him quite well and are working diligently to try and help them with getting the necessities his family requires.\u00a0 Please provide Your Comfort and Healing to this troubled family Lord, and Bless those working to help them get back on their feet.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n As we\u2019ve discussed quite a lot recently Lord, many of Your Children are living with heightened levels of financial and occupational uncertainly in their lives.\u00a0 Please send them Your Strength and Fortitude, and help them quiet the \u201cnoise\u201d that fear and doubt places in their minds so that Your Voice can guide them down the proper path.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n An old friend of my wife is fighting a battle with ALS, and has suffered one setback after another the last couple of months.\u00a0 This is a truly terrible disease Father, and has caused him and his family significant pain and turmoil.\u00a0 Please give them the Comfort and Peace that can only come from Your Presence Lord.\u00a0 Help him see Your Light, and know Your Love in this difficult time.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n As always Father, thank You so much for being the guiding light in my life and for listening to my prayers.\u00a0 In Your Loving Hands I place all my hopes, dreams and burdens secure in the knowledge that Your Path is righteous and just.\u00a0 Amen.<\/p>\n ~Phather Phil<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear Lord;
