God who pushed up the mountains of Afghanistan
who smoothed out the Alaskan tundra
who brought the waters up to the Georgia coast
who ran his finger to carve out the Great Lakes
who blew the hot dry air over the desert in California, Iraq
You formed these places
and You are there
Forgive us for our amnesia
our distrust
our fears
our unwillingness to go willingly
our unbelief that You can work through Uncle Sam's orders
So Lord, please speak to our souls
continue to build in us a faith that knows deeply how to trust You
Help us to release our grip of control of our husbands, our children, our homes
Make us have open hands to receive what You are giving
Grow us up, Lord.
And please help us in the journey--the decisions, the money, the travel, the upheaval.
We pray for houses to be found, to be sold, to be rented.
We pray for school decisions and little hearts' desires in activities.
We pray for Your divine appointment of neighbors, friends, church communities.
Use us Lord. Scatter us as You wish. May we be ever ready to be Your light.
We pray for our ministries in VBS, Bible studies, chapel, caring for our neighbors.
And Lord, we lay our dreams at Your feet. You know what would most satisfy our souls. We will trust You for direction and timing.
We pray for protection for our deployed. Thwart the plans of the enemies.
We pray for our veterans. Lord may they find continued purpose.
We pray against suicides in our ranks Lord. May the hurting be drawn to Your relentless love.
And we pray for our leaders, Lord. May they hear Your ways.
God who goes before us, and comes behind us, may we feel Your hand on our heads today.
