Please pray for my son, Keith, to have confidence in himself as he begins to take all tests required of him . Pray that he have the endurance and strength to pass the physical, the judgement to do what needs be done to learn and pass the academic, the understanding of them when he falls short, and compassion for those who fall short, the will and drive to push on when he feels like he can't go on, loyalty, trust,instinct,honor,patience and integrity. But most of all, pray that when all these wonderful attributes become him, that he have the wisdom to recognize that he DID NOT do these things alone, but was guided by the hand of God Himself and that he find peace in the knowlege of this. Thank you all.

Oh Lord, I lift McNavy mom up to you , her friend and her daughter. I ask that you help her help her friend in the way only you can do. Help the love she feels for her friend shine through their time together. I join her in prayer for that, for wisdom for those who have decisions to make to do what is right and noble. I ask this in your name.
Amen -

Dearest God
Please protect the friendship of McNavyMom and her best friend. Help them to know that the fights they had may lead them to words of care and concern--that it may lead them to a higher level of friendship. Like a note from a teacher, let them know that the note from God is a Bible full of help and love.
Bless their weekend together that they may find fulfillment that only you can provide. -

Father, Jose and I pray that you bestow travel mercies upon all those family members who will be traveling to their child's PIR this month and next. May you bless their journey, bless the flights, trains, buses or whatever transport carries them to these proud moments. May you place a hedge of protection around them so that nothing the enemy throws at them can do any harm. Thank you for your faithfulness, for your peace and for your grace. You are our Jehova Jira, our provider and our Jehova Nissi, our protector. We ask you this in your son's holy name. Amen.

I want to thank God for the lesson that he has taught me through these months of boot camp. He has taught me that my joy should be in him and not what happens on a day to day. He taught me to rely fully and completely on him and not on man or things of this world. These are things that I've always known, but now I have to put them into practice. And even in all the sad times, and confusion, I never lost my praise. I thank God for blessing me and keeping and my family, for being with my husband while he is away and continuing to bless him and us. I thank God for who he is and who he is in my life, and that I know who I am through Christ Jesus.

This is so wonderfully worded. We did get caught up in how much we were missing our sailor--but every letter ended with "pray daily" and a page from Daily Guideposts. I think those got passed around to anyone interested.
Thank you for those words. -
