It Starts

Lord,

I thank you so much for life and for everything you've done in my life. You are so wonderful, and words cannot express my gratitude for all You've given me and provided for me. You are the Author and Perfecter of our lives, and I praise You, through the good times and the hard.

Thank You for providing so many new opportunities to talk with my family, and chat with them regularly. Thank You for the blessings of preparing me for my job search and providing me with new opportunities at work and around campus. I praise You for the work You're doing through our Bible study, and for the new experiences I'm having with my small group that started yesterday.

Lord, I pray for continued peace, encouragement, strength, boldness and courage as I continue down my journey through life. I pray that You will open my heart to what it is You have for me to learn through the Bible study, and for the work You're beginning in the small group with church.

This week, I pray that You'll open my eyes to the opportunities you lay in front of me to share my faith and my walk with You with others. Show me how You're using me throughout the week, and give me 'stories' to share with the others in small group, that I may encourage and motivate them through my experiences.

I love You, praise You and thank You for all things! You are God in Heaven and over my life, and I love You!

Love,
~Justin
