Good morning Father

Father, at times it seems so improper to ask for your forgiveness. Especially on the heels of failing you yet again. Father, failures that are relative in nature to the failures of just a few writings ago.

Father, thank you for being the only God, the God of the mighty world. All things work for the glory of God you have said and I want to believe that such that fear of conflict flies right out the window.

Father, I have a need with a conversation collision course. I see a very difficult conversation on the horizon and need you. I need you everyday in my life but this day especially. Wendy is a strong character and I need to rein her in. I need to stand firm in my convictions and the signs that abound around me. I need to avoid the influence of others in the market place and go with my own gut feelings, the feelings and the convictions that you place upon me.

Father, thank you for the trip to Denver and back. Thank you for a good night sleep. Thank you for watching over and protecting my family.

May the honor and praise go to you on this day.

In Jesus name, Amen

Good moring Father

What a morning. We have managed to run the propane out and our house is freezing. Father I pray that I can get the tank filled today without delay.

Father as I read your word this morning a few things stuck out to me.

First, to be bold in my presentation of your truth. Be that with you, my family, my co-workers etc... Scary. Father you made me who I am and you know that I am not bold, I am weak and I am unsure most of the time. Perfect for you relative to the Gideon Story we heard in church yesterday. I pray for your touch and blessing of boldness.

Second, you are with me always never turning a blind eye. You are the very one that awards those who walk in your light and in your truth. I pray that I "Absolutely" belive that.

Thirdly, Truth must be backed by action: Father in all my studies and reading there is one theme that gets repeated over and over; ACTION. We must get in motion and stay in motion. Father bless me with wheels of motion.

Fourth, May I be a durable "Container" In the contrast of kitchen tools; garbage container and beautiful china I see the subtle difference. We are made to move your word. Trashcans and cups both serve a purpose, Father may I be the cup?

Lastly, be mature, gentle, and patient when presenting your word to unbelievers. Father bless me with that dispostion.

Touch our leaders (world and domestic), my family, and those I work with on this day. Amen

Good evening Father. Tonight is the night before what some call the most important election in recent history. The sane among us know that the most important election of our lifetime is the election to accept Jesus as our lord and savior.

With that in mind lord I call on you to mold me each day of my life. Father lead me to the well and I will drink. Father you mold me and I will make you proud. I know it is not a one way street and we live in a broken world. I am as broken as the next guy Father. However, Father I know that I am remarkable. I know that I have it in me to blow away the world and make a mark. Make a legacy that will last into the ages. Be that in a book, in a song, in a poem, in a testimony, in whatever endevour you present to me, I have it. It is you in me and this can and will be a break out year for me and for my family.

The hurdles will still be there and I will have to overcome, but I know I can do with you as my pilot. With you in the driver's seat. You control everything about my life and with you in control only successful things can happen.

In Christs Holy name. Amen

Good Morning.

Father God, it is a glorious day. Thank you for bringing my family home safe. Thank you for a good meeting in Seattle. Thank you for all you do in the way of blessing your child.

Father, I pray that I might take the messages of my wife and her experience with her family and Tom especially and apply some of that to our family. Father you are the mighty crafter of family and relationship and Father, I think it important that I follow your example. Father convict me and challenge me to be the Father and the Husband you called me to be.

I pray and thank you for the McKnight family and the way they welcomed Stephanie in to their family. Kin I know but they are such a gracious group. Father thank you. Amen.

Anger Father. It gets the best of me, WHY? Why do I get so impulsively angery? Father is it a repeat of my childhood? Is it the thing I know best? In the moment does all reason fly out the window because that is what I saw growing up? Father, we must break this cycle together. Father it is not a task or character trait that I can manipulate on my own. It comes out in the most random moments, the most random times. Father when it is not convenient for me, it comes out. Like a child if I don't get my way or something inconveniences me...they get it.

Maybe thinking I will get some feeling sorry for me, how twisted is that? The product of guilt and shame or the lack of knowledge and know how to react any differently. Father help me to be more patient with all especially myself. Father help me to develop a sense of awarness about myself and a God given strategy to deal with my impulse in the moment. Father I pray I not lay waste to the relationships I have and the ones to come in my life because of my impulse and lack of self control.

Amen

Good day Father

Father as I read your word in baffles yet amazes me how you could be so merciful. Father so many of us in the world...all of us in the world are so imperfect relative to you. We all sin, we all fall short of the grace of God. Father only your Son lived up to the perfection. Yet you in all your wonder allow us to live on. Not without consequence of course but we live on in your prescence. Wow, is all I can say. How do you do it?

I have read that it is this way so that we all rely on you. There is no perfect human otherwise there would be no need for God. What would you say to that?

Father, today is a travel day for both my wife and I, She to Portland and I to Seattle. Father I pray for a hedge of protection over both and pray that Justice would travel well. Touch his little nose and make him well enough for flight.

Father tomorrow is the day we have budgets. Father I keep telling myself that 100 years from now no one will care about what happens tomorrow. However, in the short many months and for the years to come people will care and people will judge my ability to run a business based on the performance. Father I thank you for the conversation I had yesterday and I pray that I carry an even more amplified confidence into the budget conversation. The only way that will happen is with you Father. You are the one that can and will make that happen. Father I thank you for the Joshua like courage you will give me tomorrow and I thank you for the bounless energy you will give that will allow me to sustain the day. Father I thank you for the wisdom and discernment you will give. Father I thank you for the passion and the ability to hold a debate professionally yet forcefully. Father thank you for placing a sense of piece among those who supervise me in my earthly stead. Father I know that you are the contorller of those who control. You are the ultimate.

Father I pray for my relationship with Stephanie. Father you have sparked an awareness of need and desire in both our hearts. Father I pray that you will fan the flame and that our relationship will become and inferno set to serve you in any and all ways. Father you have a plan for her and I and Father I pray for exposure of that plan. Father touch Michael and Justice and the unborn child you have so graciously given us.

Have a great day and thank you for allowing me to "Live out Loud"...Amen

I have a bit of a sinus headache today. Father I ask the you touch and releave the pressure.

Okay, not sure where all that came from or why I felt the need to tell you about it. Father I pray and give thanks on this day. Thank you for being the merciful and just God. Father you have principals that govern the world, naturally, physically, mentally, and spirtiually. Father laws that if applyed and used in accordance with your will work to bring joy and piece to the appliers. Father I want to be an applyer.

Father can you use someone who wants to learn your prinicipals and your ways of living. Father can you open a man of thirty years plus and make him knew? Can you make him anew and afresh? Of course you can, you can make anyone or anything. Father, make me. Make me a master of all that you have for me that is good. Father allow me to look at evil and turn away. Father allow me to walk in your light according to your will and to prosper only as you would have me to prosper.

I ask that you be with my family today. Teach them and love them. Bring them home safe tomorrow night. Father, I can not wait to see them and I pray that you would place a hedge of protection around us all.

Father be in my day and make every path I cross on of light, discernful, and God meaningful. You are the master of my life and the great planner of all that will come my way. Father be in my day as that is what I pray.

Good morning Father,

Another day of wisdom poured forth in your word. Father you are the master and creator of all that is good and all the is wise. Father, I only pray that even an ounce of the wisdom is picked up by your servent.

Father I realize that I am a poor example of your ways and your truth. However, I am moldable. I am a the clay pot, I am the masterpiece of your design. Father as you decide how and when to mold me, Father know that I am willing and wanting. I don't always act like it, I don't always make the right decisions, I don't always agree, but I am willing.

Father, next week is a big week for me and for my family. It is an opportunity to make an impression on those 2nd and 3rd removed in the hierarchy. You and only you can stamp that impression on their hearts and minds. Only I can prepare in your name and with the stewardship you have bestowed upon me. Father I ask that you guide me in my preparation and that you give me both the mental and physical energy to get it done. Father as I study and practice for the presentation help me to formulate stories of truth, passion, and charisma. Stories that carry the effect of your parables while you walked the earth. Okay that is a stretch but I desire that kind of effect.

Father thank you for blessing my family and thank you for the wonderful wife that I have . Thank you for giving her time to be with here sister and their family and thank you for making that time so special. Thank you for the wonderful son that you have given us and thank you for the little one that is on the way. Father thank you for Michael and I pray that he is in good health, spirts, and behavior. You, as the protector, watch over them and keep them safe from the world and from themselves. Father be with Michael's earthly guardians to include me. Help in guiding him in your ways.

Thank you for yet another day to claim you as the Great and the ALL MIGHTY. Amen

Hello Father

What a good nights sleep you gave me. I feel much better today. Well rested and ready to prepare for my meetings next week. Father thank you for this experience you are allowing me to live out. Father I pray that next week as the day approaches for us to present our knowledge and wisdom of the markets and our assests specifically that you use me as a witness of reality. Father you have not blessed me with spoken eloquence or persuasive conversation in group settings. I am sure you have done so for good reason, be it pride, arrogance, haughtiness, or the such. I pray on this day however that you touch the hearts of those who are listening as to give them understanding of my points. You and only you could soften the hearts of so many strong willed men.

Father the den of thieves is what I imagine, when it is such a far cry from that. I imagine Bruce as the mythic Cyclopes, eating up men to his hearts content having no compassion nor remore, no care and no have to. Father, I image I as not Odysseus but just a morsel of the mighty Cyclopes. Father may I have the Courage of one Joshua who took your charge and championed the people of Isreal to the promised land. Father you and only you could lead such a courageous adventure. This is my year to make it to the promised land, to prove my worth, to set the stage and the foundation for the future of the Portland market place. I have some knowledge, I have the ability to gain more, I need and desire the wit and the eloquence to verbally commit that peace of mind and confidence in the minds of other men. The men who hold the key to my earthly secular business success.

Father you are the gate keeper and the holder of the lock of success and or failure. You have given the keys to those in places of power that I have not tasted. You, through them and or through me possess the road map, the vehicle, and the fuel to propel me to the next level in the minds of man. Father I trust thee that you have the plan for my life and I trust the meeting on Wednesday will be filled with brilliant moments of your prescence. You and only you control the environment in the room on that day. Allow me to take the lead in the moments that make sense and allow me to take the back seat in the moments that dont make sense. Allow me the freedom to say I don't understand and allow me the grace of those asking the questions. Father, if I am on the offensive then I, through you, can control, to some degree, the outcome of the conversation.

Father thank you for your time today and everyday. Father be with me as I prepare and in preparation comes confidence. May I have much at Days End!

With love, care, and a great deal of humbleness. Yours, Amen

Good morning Abba Father. Today is a day to shine in your prescense. Father you gave me life so that I may work for you and give it to others.
Father, feeling exhausted at times drives anger and feelings of guilt and shame. Father I pray for those around me going into these last weeks before budgets. Father I have been short, I have been unsupportive in my efforts to secure that which has been laid before me.
Focus, Father to sit and write my prayer to you is as much to make my mind wander. Why is it so hard to focus. Why is it so hard to harbor one thought and not many thoughts at once. What can I do to stop such a thing. What can I do to help my focus. Is it quiet time, is it meditation, is it practice at sitting quietly and allowing the thoughts to dominate until they have run their course. Father tell me if you will.

Father touch my boys, Justus and Michael, touch my unborn child. Keep them in your clutches forever. Father you are the great and the all mighty.

Father touch Stephanie. Break me down and make me the husband that can give to her as she needs. Direction, counsel, support, affection, love, care, understanding, etc... You and only you are the gift giver. Help me to be the bearer of fine gifts.

I invite you into my day Father and pray that you will lead in bright paths. Be with me during the two tough conversations I have to have with Wendy Melanie and John. Thank you father for the chances to grow.

Amen

10.21.04

2004-10-21T05:40:00.000-07:00

Good morning Father. Thank you for allowing me the chance, despite my shortcomings, to be here with you again today.

Father you mercy is unmatched, yet the guilt for not living up to your expectation is overpowering. I sit in imperfection and wonder how you can be so willing to forgive and forget the sins of man and of myself. How is that possible? How can you be so full of grace with a people so full of crap.

Father touch my family today and keep them safe. Thank you for getting them to their desitnation.

Touch those families that lost loved ones in the flight that went down. Father what a tragedy. I pray that those who passed found their way home to you.

Father as I finish up the last of my budget notes and changes I pray that you would be my accountant in the sky and look over them through me and make sure that I got it right and moreover that I can defend that which I believe to be needed for the sites to function properly. You and only you know all the answers. That day next week has already been played out in your book. Father I pray to know the outcome before it happens. Father plant a faith and develp a courage in my so strong, plant a wit, plant an acute sense, plant a discerning heart and mind on this day in preparation for that day. Father you are the one and the only that can control that outcome. I pray for a great one.

Father I pray for a tempered approach to those I lead, Father I feel myself getting angry and some and to loose with others. I pray that you would help me to control that and to practice staidness and groundedness in you and your simple ways relative to human relations. Thank you Father.

Father you have the best of the best days as you usually do and Father I invite you to ride along with me. Nudge me, push me, make me a better man. Amen

10.20.04

2004-10-20T06:03:00.000-07:00

Good morning Father. As you know I have fallen in this world of temptation. I have no excuse or reason beyond a weak will and and unwillingness to submit to the strength of you...the Holy one.

Father, today I ask for strength and courage in my idle time. Father as we all know idle time is the devils workshop. I pray that idle time would not come my way. I pray that I would look around my home or office or the offices of the ones I lead and find that thing that needs to be done and do it. Father amplify my will to do the right thing over the next 8 or 9 days. Father you and only you can grant that request.

I give thanks to you and ask you on this day to grant me wisdom in gaining understanding of the events that have lead up to the conversation that I am going to have with Tony Lopez and further more Naomi Jellum. Father, I am no better or worse than either of them and or the world for that matter yet I am charged with counsel and the seat of the judge. Help me to wear that hat and do it well for the company I represent. Allow me to see the lessons presented here relative to missteps and bad judgement.

Father, keep my family safe and sound and I pray that their day would be filled with joy and good cheer. Father touch the marriage that you arranged and we are partaking in. Father bless us with a purpose and a mission in this life.

Father, I pray for my God given purpose and plan for my life. I may be living it and it may be in front of my face. I am sure that it is and I am sure that what you are doing in my life is all for a reason, all in preparation for my journey to Heaven. Father take off my blinders and unblock my ears. Open me up to you, have mercy on me, push me, cajole me, but expose to me the plan you have and allow me to know in my heart of hearts that it is you.

Have a great day...I will talk to you more. Amen

Father thank you for your tender mercies and forgiveness. You and only you know the hearts of man and the intentions of man. You know that not one is free from sin. Your only Son is the only one free from the bonds of sin.

Father, I pray this day to be a day of safe travels. A day that is light on stress and heavy on servitude. May Justus and Stephanie be assited by the angels in heaven. Father keep them safe and sound as they travel to and from St. Louis. Keep them safe while they are there.

Father I pray for a supernatural outpouring of blessing over my marriage. I pray for my role as head...as Husband...as Father. Father I pray that I would not take the easy way out, that I would discern right from wrong, good from bad, direction from a lack thereof. You are the only guide I can and should rely on. Guide me...break me...mold me. Make me like you.

Father, it weighs my heart to bring the next to you. Tony Lopez. Father I pray a hedge of protection around this man. I pray that you would shatter the fantasy of temptation that clouds his judgement. Father, as you teach me many lessons in the work place, I pray that I handle them with due dilligence and with good judgement. Father, I pray for today for Tony and for his wife. Father may you bring a healing hand to that marriage. May you touch them in a supernatural way. May you bring them back together as friends, friends in concert with their God given calling.

Father, I pray for Naomi and her future with this company. Father predence is in question and truth is known. I pray that you would guide and direct the words that flow from my mouth. Father I pray that you would guide us down the path of discernment over her intentions .

Good morning Father. Thank you for that wonderful night of sleep. I trust you are perky and upright this morning.

Father I have questions...Coffee, seems silly, is a pleasure of mine. I like it for just a couple of reasons caffene being one of them. Is it bad, is it extreme, is it a drug? Father I made a commitment to an associate that I would halt my drinking of it. I am not sure that I can or want to. Help me in the quest.

Father, two weeks to go and we meet with Fred and Bruce. Father you know me and my usual reaction to such a meeting. Father as I prepare I ask for you guidance as you know all. You know the hearts of the men we will be meeting with. You know my heart. Father, make me strong and courageous. Help prepare my base of knowledge and allow me to have wisdom and discernment over the information. May I be a commanding voice, may I be your voice giving good stewardship to the business and company that I work for?
