8/8/11
Father, You are blessed for Your infinite love which we proclaim this week, which drives us to be willing and inspired to tell of it, which called us to the cross in the first place, depraved and deprived of Your love. You made me weak so i would depend on You alone for everything. make us strong, at least for a moment, that we ould be able to do a double portion of love these few moments. i pray for bohuslav, who calls himself "bob," that he would see and believe the hidden truths of the gospel. i pray for mary that she would be patient, long-suffering, quick to listen, slow to anger and speak. thank You for the pacovskys--their diligent efforts do further Your kingdom.

thank You for yesterday and the opportunities to show the czechs that we are real people--that we have real hobbies, that we can be competitive while showing Your love on the field in sportsmanship, that we love salty potato chips and scrumptious baked goods. please work mightily in vlasy, adela, petr, jarda, vaclav, marek, bibi, tomas (both of them), honza kropac (even though he is away), kacka, the girls i did not meet last night, and all the others from english camp and team praha.
please forgive my tired spirit, Lord. it is not becoming of a son of God to be impatient, quick-tempered, or rude, but please make me stern about the authority entrusted me, always peaceful and loving. forgive me for not forgiving with my heart, and let me not carry a record of wrongs. let me never forget all that debt You forgave me: sacrificial payment. give me patience with tom, kacka, honza, aneta, mari, bara, sarka, deniska, and havalind. let the trials of the mission field not take their toll on me yet, and let me not grow negligent or frustrated.
Father, please comfort vicki and erin, laura and mary, julie, katka, and the farniks, and make the guys more crushed in spirit--it is right to be heart-broken over the lost.
8/12/11
forgive me, Lord, for not writing these prayers daily as i promised. please help will and i to be faithful ministers and servants for our families back home. please also give me wisdom and wise advice from the authorities You have given me, and help me to speak Your Word.
8/13/11
bless our work, Father, that Your kingdom would advance here in the czech republic. thank You for the opportunity to sow these seeds of Your love, to show the children and youths how great Your love is in transforming lives to worship You. thank You for blessing the farniks through us. please, please, please give petr, jarda, and tomas new hearts. they cannot love You without You loving them first, and i love them, Father!
