Prayers

You know you're not single anymore...when you wonder how in the world you lived life without your family...you know your world has turned upside down but you know that every change, every adjustment is making you a better person....you can't imagine life without your son and daughter...and your wife...you pray specifically for her protection and provision in all areas of her life: physically, emotionally, and spiritually...you realize the material things that once were important to you don't really matter at all because if you lose your family you lose everything...you are willing to lay down everything, including your life, for the sake and safety of your family...there is no sacrifice to you too great but there are some things you guard with all of your life: your purity, your fidelity to your wife, your integrity, and the honor of the family name...you pray that as the spiritual leader of your home, you wife will feel loved and protected, your daughter will one day receive a man who will do the same for her, your son will be able to follow your example in pursuing his future wife, and you will be able to serve the Lord with gladness for the rest of your life.
