Week of July 14 - Father, I pray that each child you have blessed us with knows you and knows their full worth and identity in You. I pray that you help them grow in your wisdom and power, give them the spirit to discern between good and evil. Guide them to make good choices. Bless their way and order their steps so they are not lost. Let them be Seekers of your Word and that they will turn to you in their time of need or in their time of rejoice. We are all invited to follow Jesus, and we all need people to come alongside us as we live, learn and grown in faith. Let us be that for our children. Lord, thank you for our children. Amen.

Week of July 6 - God of all Creation, every day, I look to you for guidance for my life path. Sometimes the way seems clear; and other times it appears confusing. In those less than clear and overwhelming moments, I ask for your Holy Spirit to pour wisdom into my heart and mind. Help me to see the open doors in my path that lead me to you and your will for my life. Empower me with courage to use the gifts you have given me to say and do the right things that will not only make a difference in my own life; but, will also bless others. I want my life-light to shine for you...giving you honor and glory...and leading others to find you. With openness to your leading, I pray this in Jesus' name. Amen.
