Treasures of the heart...

Matthew 6:20-21 Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

We are grateful Father for the opportunity to have resources available to us and the experience of worldly treasure. Help us; help Michelle to keep those treasures in perspective and to guard our hearts from idolatry. In the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen

A prayer for guidance

Acts 9:6 

 ⁶And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

Father, thank you that you choose to call us and use us. Thank you that you allow us to hear your voice and respond. Thank you that you have a wonderful plan for each one of us. Thank you for all that you are using Michelle to accomplish. Thank you that with all of the opportunities and ventures in front of her she takes most seriously her role as wife and mother. Help her hear your voice when you call and recognize the path you would have her take. Cause others to pray your protection for her family. Thank you that you are able to handle all we present to you and more. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen

James 1: 2– 4 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

Dear Father, We can count on trials coming. James says - don't be surprised or think it's some strange thing that should not be happening. I pray for Michelle that she may be able to "count it all joy". Rejoice?  Yes, be glad that you are providing her with an opportunity to grow. Just like the little seedling in our picture, growing strong through adversity. Keep her eyes focused on you Lord, keep her heart filled with your presence. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
