My prayer this morning:
"Lord,
The best thing that we have done this year is to read your word. Please help this to not become stale. I don't want this to become rote and empty. Pleas help us to continue this practice of reading your word at breakfast every day for the rest of our lives.
Also, please give us the fortitude to continue exercising. This has helped my wife, and it has helped me. I know it may or may not help in weight loss. You were there when I was reading the article the other day. My wife and I have been feeling better from this, and I ask that this continue.
My wife is sick right now. Of course, You know this. I ask that You heal her. I know that this is something that You can do. I've seen You do it in the past. I know that You could heal her in the blink of an eye so that she doesn't feel well one second and the next she hardly remembers feeling bad. In fact I ask that You bless this family with health such that we no longer get sick. I ask that for the rest of our lives that we only go to the doctor to verify that we are indeed still well, and that we go to the grave in full vigor.
I don't deserve this. I didn't deserve the breath I drew to speak these words. It is only by your grace that I live at all. I only ask because, well, You said to. I ask this in Your name and I intend to give you the glory. Help me, Lord, to record this prayer in my blog so that when people ask "Why are you and your wife and son never sick?" or "How are you guys keeping well?" I can point them to the blog and they can see that it is Your hand doing these things."
