    Father God,
    I am reaching out to you in faith asking that you would give me a new mind, rid me of my anxiety/stress that I have in my new job, my doubts and imposter syndrom tend to bring self induced internal problems. I feel a lot of weight on my shoulders as a Project Manager, husband, and father as the financial provider. The pay is beyond great and many would love to have it, but the job comes with a mental rollercoaster. Some days are good, some are bad. I hunger for a reset.

    Lord, not only do I pray for a reset but an opportunity, a job of a life time that fits my families profile of adventure. Lord, show us the adventure. Stir the same opportunity/vision in my family. Lord, I pray this in your sons name. Amen.

  6. Brian Linn says:

    I prayed about all 5 today. Faith because is falters sometimes. Family because I’m trying to lead them in a Godly way. Finance because I’m not very good handling them. Fitness I was really into until the pandemic closed my gym. It’s open now but motivation not there. Friends some of them are not Godly men and my mens group is great but we just meat maybe once a week and not much other than at the church. We need to be doing things outside the church and build stronger Godly friendships.

    Wonderful blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost on everything.

    My 19 year old stepson moved back in with us. We are helping him get his life back together. We helped him get a job, we helped him save his money to buy a car and he finally has a driver’s license. He just bought a car, but the kid cannot wake up in the morning. He stays up all night and sleeps during the day (his job is second shift). Not only can he not change his sleep schedule, he won’t. I am afraid once he moves back out on his own he is not going to be able to hold a job because he can’t get out of bed unless we make him. Praying for the wisdom to teach this kid who wasn’t raised right by his biological dad. I’m just trying to teach him at this point to be an adult. Thanks for your prayers.

  19. Gregory Whittet says:

My Wife’s interview with a new Christian Private School position. My children (13 and 15) and how God gave me amazing kids that also have their own relationship with our Heavenly Father.

  84. Bryon says:

    I like the piece on the definition of confession and that God already knows our sin but he’s asking us to share our agreement with him.

  92. Janic says:

    The number one thing I pray for right now is peace and sanity during this quarantine.

During prayer this morning, God reminded me how I don’t always do what He is leading me to do and instead I do my own thing. Father, forgive my selfishness and help me show love and patience to my children the way you show it to me every day.

  98. Jesse Skytland says:

    I ask God that he will continue to clear some of the difficulty’s from my life and allow me to lead a more free flowing path towards a successful future by lifting the problems out of today’s issues and giving his presence more revelent in my eyes.

  99. Mark Lyford says:

    I started this challenge with my mentor because I want to build a relationship with God that I can look at and say “this is who I am with Him”, instead of feeling shame when I see other people and friends with their public displays of faith, and feeling like my faith is dead in comparison. My prayer is that God comes to meet me in the middle somewhere and helps me get to the place I want to be.

  112. Eddie says:

    I hurt my back cleaning the garage a few days ago, by bending and leaning in an awkward position, but I made enough progress cleaning the garage that I don’t have to do that again, hopefully ever.

  122. Jacques Vd Merwe says:

    Sometimes when I am in prayer it feels like God is not hearing me. I know it’s the devil that puts these thoughts into my head to try to stop me from praying. So, I make it a point to ask God to deepen my love for Him every day more and more. If I can understand and love God a little more each day, I will consider my day a success.

  123. Robert Ordóñez says:

    I’ve really been struggling with my weight. I’ve put back on almost all the weight I’d lost over the past decade.

  129. Jay Jones says:

    It helps to list out things you want to prayer for on paper. Keeps it focused and seeing the results better.

  130. Kris says:

    Healing from my personal sin.
    His wisdom to raise our kids to know and follow Jesus.

  131. Tom says:

    Discernment for my 21 year old daughter as she seeks where the Lord would have her to go.

  132. Mark Lubbock says:

    Sometimes when folks ask me how can they pray for me I have to stop and really think. Other times the list is exhaustive!
    My top prayer request is to hear & understand God’s principal focus for me. As an eager worker it is easy for me to assume ‘responsibility’ for mission/task that God did not ask me to take on.

  133. Curt says:

    Faith: Lord – remove 2 distractions that interrupt
    Family – Lord – help me know…how to help my family…grow spiritually and relationally
    Finances – Lord – give me strength, wisdom, courage to make difficult decisions

  134. Marc says:

    Day 3 praying to be filled more and more with the Holy Spirit to be able to see others through the eyes of Jesus.

    And the health of my/our fellowship . That we are drawn closer to our Lord and that will cause us to be closer to each other. And then we can share God’s family with all we meet
    Blessings and thank you for being part of my family

  138. Gavin says:

    I am praying to God and asking his counsel on how to prioritize my time and schedule. Where does he see opportunity for improvement? What things do I need to stop or start in where I spend my time.

  139. Vault says:

    I learned my current prayers are short and shallow. Making requests of God out loud for five minutes was hard and I’m convicted that my prayer life is weak.

  140. Will says:

    God give us guidance and encouragement on our journey into adoption. We are feeling down and unsure of what to do next.

  141. Daniel says:

    Doing a 3/4 day as well. Saturdays are hard as I like to sleep in. My three things. 1. Help me to seek first the kingdom of God as one of the weekend devotions said. 2. Help me to be aware of my family’s needs. 3. Help me to be more attentive and focused on the students I teach at school.

  142. Brady says:

    One thing from my list is healing for reccuring or long lasting injuries of my friends and family members

  143. Kurt Cubbage says:

    I prayed that all my grandkids (all under 11 yrs old) would come to a saving relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ .

  144. Anders says:

    Prayers today are for confidence and contentedness. I’ve realized that so much of my sins, so much of what’s holding me back in my personal growth, and so much of what’s held me back from sharing my faith with people all stem from my own insecurities. Asking God to let me see myself through his eyes, and show me the man he created me to be.

  145. Steve Nicola says:

    I ask that you pray for lazer focus on my wife’s and my ministry for 2020. We are wrapping up our yearly planning session today.

  146. David Walters says:

    I want to ask God for His guidance to keep purity a priority in my life.

  147. David Walters says:

    I want to ask God for his divine guidance to keep purity a priority in my life.

  148. Gordon says:

    I prayed for God to rescue and protect persecuted Christians. I thanked Him for rescuing Asia Bibi and her family.

  149. J.T. Fetherolf says:

    J.T.
    I missed day 2 and got to day 3 late, but I’m going to catch back up.
    One of my topics was a coworker of mine and his wife who are going through some very similar issues with pregnancies that my wife and I have went through. They are not believers, but he has been very open and comfortable talking with me about the struggles they are having. I have tried to invite him to church and our small group in the past without success. They are actually in the early stages of a pregnancy right now, but their latest office visit indicates the pregnancy is not progressing as expected. He actually reached out to me and asked to meet with my wife and I which just happened on Friday evening. I am praying hard for their pregnancy as well as that they can find the hope, joy, and peace that only God can provide. I am praying that my wife and I can continue to plant the seeds of Christ in their hearts that they may take root and grow.

  150. Henry says:

    I’m late on commenting but I did do this yesterday. I asked that my in-laws would come to know Jesus as their Savior.

  151. TJ says:

    I think I am supposed to be honest here, so I hope I am able. It’s not as simple as asking. If this were the case, I would not be “where” I am right now , pretty much constantly anxious (let not your heart be troubled) and dreading personal interactions because of that worry. Have I prayed/ asked for something specific to alleviate my nearly inescapable dysphoria? Absolutely, and some have even prayed with me. So far, goose egg. This past week, I was denied another ardent request, so on New Year’s eve I simply prayed in more earnesty., noting the denied prayers. Not quite sweating blood, but more desperate than in a long time. And nothing happened. This to me is a positive. Nothing happening means nothing good or bad, and nothing bad to me means good now. But I also know what potentially awaits me this week. And the best thing that could happen is nothing, again.
    So prayer is not simply asking for something. It is trying to figure out God’s will, asking for His will to be done (as Jesus did in Gethsemane), and learning to accept His will and the lessons. I pray these activities are not going to lead me down some prosperity Gospel rabbit hole that further distracts me from the real God who, in the end, should not disappoint me.

    I asked as I typically do for health for my friends (two of whom are having surgery this week), better understanding of God’s love and the safety He provides in life for my family (onem.j member in particular who I hope does not become a cynic or skeptic as thoroughly as I have), and the career-related peace and confidence that has long eluded me. I don’t ask for money per se but the latter (career) also includes finance as well as, frannkly, faith. Fitness isn’t even on the radar :)…
    Thank you for this opportunity to share.

  152. Stephen says:

    That I should be…as my Dad has always taught us, but never really adhered to….humble.
    Such a powerful attribute. I ask for this in Gods name.

  153. Adam says:

    I’m praying to be a better Fire Department Chaplain and that God helps me find my way between being one of the guys and the chaplain

  154. Marty Miller says:

    I need God’s help in my ministry finances, in my fitness/health, and my daily disciplines.

  155. Hugh Prichard says:

    Prayer for a mind that thinks clearly and is well ordered and aligned with Gods will.

  156. Les Silliman says:

    Day 3 prayer to share:
    My grandson Ethan, 18, had put his eyes on a leader rather than on Jesus, and when that leader proved to be a poor example to follow he has become antagonistic at home and unwilling to hear Godly direction. He is on a dangerous path. I am asking God to soften his heart and turn him to a God pleasing path.

  157. Michael Johnson says:

    One of the things I prayed for was a heart for patience. That I would be as open to pausing when I need to as I am open to acting or talking.

  158. Marco says:

    I prayed for family, 1. My Son to come back to God. 2. My Daughter, to have faith and know that she is doing a great job raising her Children in God’s way. 3. Encourage her, that she is strong in the Lord. Not to fear anything.

  159. RonP says:

    Can kinda hold the number of issues/topics/prayer subjects to 3.
    5 minutes is another matter. I find it hard to say hello in 30 seconds or less.
    These first days have been reviving. Speaking to the God Most High instead of “thinking” to Him!

  160. Paul says:

    That God would use my brothers suicide to bring people to Him / back to Him rather than drive people away from His love and provision.

  161. Kevin says:

    On the top of my list is a conviction to be the strong spiritual leader of my family that God has called me to be.

  162. Dan M says:

    Dan M – My marriage – connectedness, realistic expectations and consistent intimacy.

  163. Ryan Wissink says:

    1. Discipline to actually get up earlier to prioritize prayer and time with God coupled with a deeper desire to do so, making it easier to do

  164. Jake says:

    I’m spread thin with my commitments right now and want to be “present” with the time I have with my youngest, Landon.

    3)Strengthen my walk with Jesus

  169. Craig Heffernon says:

    Finances, I am currently having to start life over after working at home with my wife of 12 years at her daycare. She kicked me out last Sept to start a new life with a new man leaving me to fend for myself. By the grace of God, He has provided for me a dream job, place to live. Now that I’m on my feet I really need God’s help getting the money together to get myself an attorney.

  170. Michael says:

    I.am amazed at just how the business of life can interfere even with prayer time. I asked the Lord for His favor for my household this year. And for mercy and protection as we travel on monday a family vaycay for a week.

  171. Bob says:

    My wife and I are fostering a baby girl and we want to adopt her, so I am praying that God might make this possible.

  172. Robby Little says:

    Praying for a ministry team— God called me into ministry in my thirties, I’m single and I pastored a church which I struggled in because I did not have the support I needed for my church. I finished Bible College last year. I’m going to as Alaska for a couple weeks to teach a mens group and returning to that church later in the summer to interim pastor for a few months. I have been praying for a team because the Native village I’m go to serve in faces intense spiritual warfare.

  173. Eddie says:

    I prayed for discipline to get my priorities straight, God first, me second. For the first 28-30 years of my life I did NOT have this discipline. I am only 33 years old now, so this is NEW for me to focus on God and not just life as it is happening.

  174. Massimo says:

    I asked God today to provide the funding for a monthly men’s ministry in our church; to feed the men who come and supply them with resources for their spiritual growth.

  175. Steve says:

    To be the best Dad in the entire world to my 7yr old son, that I would be godly example to him.

Last, I pray for my teaching career as I acquire teaching credentials in California.

  179. Matt says:

    Today was a little different for prayer in that I was surrounded by family all day (which is a blessing). I was able to get some semi-alone time at my desk for this activity. Among other things, I am praying for my son. He is 15 years old and struggling with some relationship issues that are impacting his relationship with us. I pray for wisdom in talking to him, and that the Lord will touch his heart.

  180. Matt says:

    Wisdom on how to handle a recent conflict in a way that seeks the good of the person.

  181. Rory C says:

    I prayed that God continued to build mine and my wife’s relationship. We overcame and continue to work through a large obstacle on account of my infidelity. We have become so much closer to God and each other. It feels amazing going all in and truly seeing god’s work through us.

  182. Dennis says:

    Lead me back into better time management after the holidays. Keep me disciplined.

  183. Josh Richards says:

    With the five fs friendship is the one I struggle with the most I am awful at staying in touch with people and I am great at figuring out ways to not be there for my friends to day I am asking God to confront and change this in me as one of the things on my list

  184. Chris says:

    Of my prayer today for three things (and God knows I have a lot more) my one prayer request was for my writing projects to flourish so much that that abundance, can allow us to be a blessing to others.

  185. Bob says:

    Prayed for the soon to be born baby that our son and Daughter in-law are going to be having; that the boy will be born healthy and that they will have the wisdom and patience to be great parents.

  186. Michael says:

    My son Levi’s health. He’s five and we’ve been experiencing some concerning signs and pray everything is ok. My wife and I try to let go of our concerns and trust God will take care of him, but it is hard not to worry.

  187. Terance Roberson says:

    One of the three things I asked God for was financial upgrade. A salary increase & or new job to create the financial stability I’m looking for.

    I prayed out loud at the end of 2018 for some things and God blessed me with those things. I did the same at the end of 2019 and it only confirms that I need to ask out loud for the low number of things I prayed for.

    Thanks for this challenge today.

  188. Jared Foster says:

    We are a mobile church that sets up weekly in a movie theater and we are going to start having 2 Sunday morning services later this month.

  191. Matt Klein says:

    Today I prayed and asked God to give me the strength to stay not only each day but while I am on vacation in the British Virgin Islands 1/26/20-2/8/20. I know it may be tough at times but I know sobriety is the single most Important thing in my life right now.

  192. Tom says:

    Praying out loud was a commitment I made years ago at promise keepers. It stuck for a while then drifted away. Glad for the reboot!
    Praying. … 3 of 4 daughters have married mighty men of God. Last one is feeling left out and forgotten by God. Thanks men

  193. Jose says:

    I understand that we all are on different journeys through Christ. My wife and I aren’t evenly yoked at the moment and it’s a strain. She is a believer.

  194. tim says:

    looking at comments odd their all from past 2019 session?
    Finance was part of prayers today. Been blessed and want to remain grateful for that and realize is from God and also for Gods use. prayer is to be a conduit that receives and gives as he directs.

  195. Randy says:

    For some time now I have been complacent and a bit lazy in various areas of my life and relationships. I am asking God to reignite a passion/ desire in my heart to help rebuild those areas. Second thing I’m asking is for God to continue his restoration of our adult son from his addiction. The third thing I’m asking is for God to help me be a better witness to others for Christ. I know the ball is in my court now, but I do believe that God is for me and has my back.

  196. Ian says:

    Try to follow God’s will more and more everyday. Honor my wife more and more every day, lead other men in discipleship.

  200. John Sides says:

    One of the main things I prayed about was for each of us (wife, daughter, me) to really find and nurture relationships/friendships that beyond the surface stuff. I really want that for my daughter who is in her first year of college.

  201. Dalton says:

    One of my prayers is for God to dramatically bless my business. Not just for monetary gain but so that I can use it to further His kingdom and create a culture pleasing to Him.

  202. Eric says:

    Praying today that God strengthens my faith and helps me to continue to live in his word.

  203. Jordan Goodrich says:

    Although my list could be longer, I kept it to three things that I focused on.

    The one item I’d like to share is keeping my friends and family safe and under his favor while creating more opportunities for people to come to God through Jesus.

    Thanks.

  204. LAVON C LAMBERTY says:

    Today I met with 5 other men for Scripture and Prayer. We read Matthew 4. There it says “…by every word that comes from the mouth of God.” That would mean the entire Bible. We have it as a weapon against Satan’s temptations that detract us from walking and talking with our LORD daily in every situation. As we listed our prayer concerns one in particular was for protection from harm for a son of one of our men. That son is an Apache helicopter pilot with the MN Army Guard 147th deployed to northern Iraq. And I added a special prayer for the Army Chaplain assigned to that unit.

  205. Josh says:

    More meaningful conversation and interaction with others. I want my conversation to be more bold and talk about salvation, eternity, and trusting Jesus with our whole heart and life!

  206. Chuck says:

    Praying for my 33 year old daughter. This has been an ongoing prayer for many, many years. For her safety, and financial well-being. Very little has gone right for her in her adult life. She has said that she begs the Lord for any amount of joy in her life.

  207. Jeff says:

    One of my 3 things I’m praying about is asking God what he wants me to do…, he gave me a new life, a new sober life and I want to know where and what he wants me to do with this great gift he has given me

  208. Seth Metcalf says:

    I prayed for friendship. My wife is my best friend and we have a lot friends that we spent time with, but I’ve realized over the past few months that I am missing a Godly man that I can have a real and true friendship with. Someone I can talk to about my problems, they will call me out when I need it and someone I can celebrate my successes with.

  209. James A Celkis says:

    A deep(er) well of patience for my three precious young sons!
    (That will have an added benefit of keeping me out of the doghouse.) Thank you!

  210. Denny says:

    One of the things I prayed for today was our church men’s group is beginning a new bible study next Monday. Please pray that we would start strong and finish strong, that we would grow in the Word and in fellowship, and pray for Pastor John Megaw who is leading us.

  211. Steve Baumgart says:

    That our daughter and son in law get engaged back to church. To set the example for there daughter.

  212. Lewis Thompson says:

    Vince, Please pray for my wife’s physical health. Her name is Mary, I’m taking her to urgent care this morning for what seems to be an upper respiratory infection probably sinus infection. She has a condition that has weakened her right lung membrane, so she will probably have a lung treatment when we get there.

  213. Rob says:

    I prayed for overcoming our debt. Money TERRIFIES me and has been an arrow in my heart for so long. But God replaces fear and anxiety with His Peace during prayer. This is one reason Satan seeks to distract me from praying, so I wouldn’t realize my crippling panic becomes a calm breeze in the Presence of Jesus

  214. Stephen M. Oliver says:

    From my list, in the “family ” category: Praying for KC and Chandler (2 of my adult kids) to find mental, spiritual and emotional freedom from mental illness.

  215. Terry says:

    Favor during job interview(s) this and next week for the position I’ve been seeking.

  216. Mike says:

    This morning the one the things that I prayed about is my sister-in law has been diagnosed recently with ALS. She and her husband have a farm and they are having a hard time finding good help so she continues working which is very hard. My prayer for her is asking God to heal her, give her and our family the strength to handle this if she is not healed or an incorrect diagnoses.
    Thank you and God bless,

  217. Anthony Gjorvad says:

    Direction for my company, should I continue with running it or close the business.

  218. Ron says:

    Prayed a blessing over this ministry. Good stuff Vince. Prayer for continued better communication with my wife. She needs to hear what’s going on in my noggin. This is not natural for me but it brings us closer and helps with intimacy.
    And finally, discipline in my faith walk, quiet time, solitude is hard. This challenge is helping. Thanks Vince.

    • Jefferson says:

      For my son Darren to find meaningful work where he can feel good about what he does and that it might provide a future for him.

  219. Roger says:

    My wife is an extreme hoarder. God please give her a healthy relationship to things.

  220. Lewis says:

    The one things I am praying for today is break through for our church, we are stuck and can’t break the 200 barrier, it seems we are gaining knew people, but other are choosing to leave.

  221. Kurt Leininger says:

    Vince thank you for taking time out of your day to pray for each of us. I have had a 30 year dream of building a log home on acreage. Please pray for that to come to pass. I will be 64 next month so sooner than later would be preferred lol. Thank you again.

  222. Jeff Carter says:

    Today I asked for God to ease the anxiety that my wife has relating to her job.

  223. Bruce says:

    I am praying for a soften heart to enrich my marriage and help me to be a better man, husband and father.

  224. Kenneth McClatchey says:

    Ken,
    Lord help me to be more effective in reaching my wayward children with your love and truth.

  225. John Harding says:

    I’ll try this again. Seems like the posts aren’t showing up today, but seeing posts from weeks ago.
    I struggle with only 5 minutes of prayer time. It’s the best time of my day, and I like to make it worthwhile.
    My prayer is for a good friend, Barb, who has been diagnosed with breast cancer, that the cancer would be completely removed from her body, and that future scans would show no cancer at all.

  226. Mike says:

    I pray for more discipline and creativity in bringing Jesus in our home. I would like to have more prayer time and teaching/devotional time as a family. Thank you for your prayers!

  227. Bill says:

    My relationship with lady friend Theresa and direction from God as to how and how quickly to proceed. Mostly it feels blessed but given my past I and still slightly doubtful.

  228. Brian says:

    My wife is in the final 6 weeks of pregnancy with our daughter we are looking forward to bringing home. Although the pregnancy has been pretty normal, I worry about the upcoming delivery due to a past csection and the corresponding risks that exist in the future as she plans for a natural delivery. I prayed for guidance in this decision, safety over her and the baby, and for peace in my heart as I turn this over to God.

  229. John Harding says:

    Only 5 minutes? I never know where the time goes.
    My prayer today is for a good friend, Barb, who has been diagnosed with breast cancer, that God would completely heal her, and the next scan would show no cancer.

  230. Andy Engen says:

    Today I pray for strength and clarity with my everyday life struggles. My negative thoughts, habits, emotions and actions need to be kicked to the curb. These negatives are what’s keeping me from being the best husband, father and friend I SHOULD be.

  231. Justin says:

    Success for my wife’s business- that she would find fulfillment, encouragement and amazing success in her efforts

  232. Tim says:

    Vince please pray for my finances, I own a family auto repair business and this last month we were slow. Also, our church is praying and searching for a new pastor. Finally, I pray for your ministry that our Father would expand your territory and sphere of influence for His kingdom. Thank you for leading us.

  233. Bryan H says:

    God help me to stay focused, humble , thankful for your unending blessings and love !!! Let the petty things that seem to come up and steer me away from you , not matter at all.

  234. Michael L says:

    Praying out loud is a game changer! Distractions are way down.
    I combined my chosen 3F’s Family, fitness and finance into SMART goals

  235. Scott says:

    I have found myself over the years asking but there have been times I have not asked specifically enough. So this morning I asked for:
    1. Boldness in my commitment to Christ and that I would be bold in letting others know where I place my hope.
    2. A worship leader for NEWSONG
    3. Purity in heart and mind so I can see and experience God (Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God.)

    I pray you encounter God deeply and powerfully throughout these 35 days and beyond.

  236. Dave says:

    I handed my son over to the Lord and asked him to do whatever is necessary to bring him back to GOD. He has strayed and his life is not a happy one. I am convinced that if he were to know the Lord again his life would take a turn for the better.

  237. Jake says:

    One of my prayers was asking for guidance and wisdom for my career. To see where I am meant to work and what I am meant to be doing to serve God.

  238. Stephen says:

    Ok I am liking the building on the previous days discipline. I am still having problems with praying out loud but it seems to be getting easier. I prayed today asking for guidance in a new side business that I am aspiring to start, guidance in raising my niece who lives with me and my wife, and health for my wife. I have in the past had a difficult time asking for anything in prayer as I am afraid to ask for things outside of God’s will and I also don’t like to feel selfish after I pray.

  239. Brad says:

    Prayer for my friend Kellie’s healing and wisdom for Dr’s to know what it is and how to handle it.

  240. Brian Grundhauser says:

    Consistency in thoughts and actions; from the time I get up to ‘intentionally’ spend time with God and then enter the world, it’s demands, challenges and distractions.

    I realized I needed a more private setting than my living room so I sat on my porch and 5 minutes turned into 15. What an awesome experience.

    HEALTH – ever since last weekend we’ve been battling stomach bugs and colds, and that’s never fun and easy with little ones.

    As for comments on the overall resource and challenge- I like the small additional “training” added to the foundation we’ve already started to build on prayer. And it’s awesome to have the added “Vince Miller prayer support”! I don’t know if you would plan to do that for every group or just this special trial, but it creates some extra encouragement for sure. Thanks brother!

I’ve made some not so great decisions and have had hardships regarding my business finances the past year. So I prayed that I would be able to get back in track financially and that I’d be able to become financially stable again.

  302. mike says:

    prayed for a smooth thanksgiving and it was delivered… i’m a couple days behind – but have some black friday ‘shopping’ and ask for minimalist help in making sure i don’t pick up things i dont’ really need? hah!

  303. Mike says:

    Working on Day 3/4 this morning as the day got away from me yesterday….interesting how that happens. Only day 3 in, and life/other priorities can already take over…but back in the fight. :). One of the prayers on my list/asking God is perseverance with family. Having three young kids, especially two young boys they can easily run your emotions on high. My prayer and focus is to love them well, disciple and encourage them to train them in God’s ways and to not react to them because of my selfish ways and desires or impatience in a circumstance.
