Dear Lord,
I pray you give me the strength to hold on until the dawn. While I am usually tenacious about keeping on, my will to go on is diminishing fast. I now look at two failed marriages, a loneliness that is robbing me of even that will to make it to another day. I do realize how ungrateful that sounds to you Lord, with all the blessings I have been given over this life you breathed into me. I am deeply ashamed of those sins I have committed and ask your forgiveness.

Please protect and guide my children, Amanda, Samantha and Joshua, may they learn to walk with you and know their blessings. Protect and guide their mother Denise and help her to remain a positive influence in their lives. Watch over and guide my wife Adriana and my stepdaughter Karen, who loves me but isn't in love with me and has chosen to live hundreds of miles away. May they both know I love them with all my heart and I was complete, happy and full of life when they were in mine.Please pray for my sister Lori, who is facing so much adversity with her business, and for the health of her son Caleb who has a visit with the neurosurgeon tomorrow for the growth they found on his brain during a recent X-ray, please heal him and let his faith continue to grow, I pray for Stormy, that the lung cancer is held off and you enjoy watching Dylan grow. Give Jeff the strength he needs to help his wife through this time. Help Alister to realize you are there and never left his side. Watch over my family and let them know your love and protection wherever they may be.

May God continue to bless those of you joining in this prayer and may He keep you in His magnificent graces. Dear Lord, each of these people here joining in this prayer has a need that only you can fill, I ask in your Son's great name that you provide for that need and carry each one further on the path you set out before them.

We thank you God for our lives, our families, the many blessings we all have known only by Your hand and for all of Creation, amen.
