I Need Your Help!

I want to live a pure and holy life.  I want to seek and find more of God.  I want to love my wife and be loved by her with a love that grows sweeter and sweeter as we grow older and older.  I believe that all of this is part of my living worthy of the calling that God has placed upon my life.

Please pray for me that I will work for victory in the following areas of my life:

Relationships – I don’t want to become so busy doing ministry that I become detached from those that I love and that love me!  God has made it clear to me over the past few weeks that these relationships with family and friends are vital!  I cannot do and be all that God has called me to do and be by myself!  I need the people that God has put around me – I need you and I need your prayers.  Please pray that I will build, develop and grow the very special relationships that God has blessed me with!

Presentation – I have been dealing with this one for the past several years.   I am a representative of God – what does a representative of God look like and act like?  There are a lot of different opinions on this one!  Some think that you should be in a suit and tie all of the time and others think that it really does not matter what you wear.  I am beginning to think that you should be yourself – your very best self for God and for His glory.  Paul said that he became whatever he needed to, so that he might be a witness for Christ.  Pray that I will be what God wants me to be and that He will get all the glory as I witness and share Him with others!

Health – I am not as young as I used to be and while I have always been a very healthy person, I know that I have taken a lot for granted.  I need to take care of my physical body with the same intensity that I give to the spiritual part of my life!  This means that I will eat better, exercise regular and get proper rest.  Pray that I will not take my good health for granted, but that I will show my appreciation by doing my part to protect it!

Thanks for your help, prayers, love and encouragment!
