RJ

Loving God, you watch over each and every one of your children. Hear our prayer for RJ. Be his constant companion. Protect him no matter where he goes, and bring him safely and quickly home to those who love him. May we, your sons and daughters, be a witness to him in living out the faith that you've passed down through our parents and mentors, while guiding him to live a life for the love and well being of others. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Loved Ones who have Died

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Ike

Almighty Father, as we lift up Ike to you we thank you for the blessing that he is in our family.  Aid Ike with your grace as he strives to be a strong and loving father; help him to be gentle and selfless in the care of his family and children through struggles and joy.  May we seek the intersession of your earthly father, Joseph, for Ike to be blessed with wisdom, patience, and understanding.  In your name we pray. Amen.

Joanna

Lord, we thank you for the precious gift of Joanna in our lives. We know that every good gift comes from You, and that You have given her to us to care for and raise. Help us to release her into Your protection, guidance, and counsel. For us not to live in fear of possible dangers, but in the joy and peace of knowing that You are in control. We rely on You for everything, and this day we trust and release Joanna into your hands. Amen.
