From a child to his Father

Dear Heavenly Father

I thank you for everything that you have blessed my household with. I know that your plan is to help us and prosper us, not to harm us. My confidence rests upon you, O Lord, not on my own limited abilities and resources.

There are many times when my prayers revolve around my will instead of Yours and I sincerely ask You for your forgiveness. I ask O Holy Spirit, that you help me pray the Father's will, for I know this pleases Him, just as I'm well pleased when my children do my will.

I pray Father, that You will continue to direct my steps, and help me stay within Your plan in every aspect of my life - career, ministry and all. I believe You will supply all my needs, according to Your riches and glory in Christ Jesus, my Lord and Saviour. And because I know that You will sustain my household and supply our needs, I look ahead with joy and thanksgiving. Thank You for giving us only good and perfect gifts from Heaven. We are truly blessed by all that You are doing for us.

Lord, I pray that you will bless this tiny life, this little unborn child that You are blessing my family with. May this child grow up to be obedient, strong & faithful in You, just like our children Deborah and Rachel. May this child enjoy Your endless favour, as all Your saints do. Lord, I pray that You will bless Veron and this little one, that You will keep them in the most excellent of health, even as this little one grows within the mother's womb. I once again dedicate our household to you. As Joshua said, "as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD". This, O God, is my prayer too.

Your grateful child,
Thomas
