For my Eastlake Family

Dear God,

Thank You for showing me the way to Eastlake and the beautiful family that You have helped us to build.  Thank You for all of the bright and shining faces who streak like blazing comets through the kids' area.  Bless all of these children of Yours and bless those families that you have allowed to help You nurture them in this life.  Support the volunteers who are so dedicated to helping our kids have such a great time as they learn about You.  Thank You for helping these children do as You've told us to do and let the acts of their love as children shine into any darkness that their families may be stumbling through.

God, we praise You for the strength you have given to Ami and her family and the grace that You have show them to light their way in a dark time.  Thank You for allowing the rest of us to bask in Your glory as You shine through their beautiful smiling faces.

Thank You for bringing us Pastor Matt.  Please continue to guide him to do what you need him to do.  Give him Your energy so he will not be weary as he electrifies us with Your word and give him Your peace so he may appreciate the many blessings You have given him.

And finally, Lord, bless our prayer team.  Thank You for using them to support me in ways that I can share Your love.  Bless each member of our team as we pour our hearts out to you so that you can refill us with that hope that springs eternal.

Lord, hear our prayers and help us to glorify You in all we are.

Amen
