Dear God I pray that you will bless Stephen this day and everyday. Please help him when he gets down and discouraged give him the faith he needs to lift him up. God please help him make the right decisions and keep his mind clear and on the task at hand. Take care of him Lord and keep him safe in your love. In Jesus name I pray
Amen

Father,
You know better than I do what’s going on in Byx’s head & heart.
You know what he’s thinking about, dealing with, & trying to discern Your direction on.
Thank You for just being inside his head, showing him the way.
Help him to follow You, & let You make the way for him, rather than him making it happen.
Thank you for his life, & for his willingness to do whatever, whoever, wherever, whenever, with however.
In the strong name of Jesus I pray,
Father,
Thank You for this man you’re molding into a likeness of You.
Thank You for the way You’re stripping away the unnecessary, & placing Yourself there instead.
Thank You for the way You are sticking out of him in unlikely ways & unlike places, with unlikely people.
Thank You for the way You’re helping him to not become jaded, cynical, or just worn out with all the need, desperation, & overwhelming devastation of all that surrounds him.
Thank You for the way You’re showing him to de-emphasize himself, & emphasize You – thank for how he’s realizing how to stop making his time in Haiti happen, & seeing that all he has to be is available to You – You’re the one that’s gonna make things happen.
Thank You for his safety – not just physical, but emotional, spiritual, psychological, attitudinal – thank You for guarding his heart, from himself & from the devil.
And thank you for this wild, crazy, BIG adventure that you dreamed for him a gajillion years ago.
Thank You for sustaining him as he continues to say little yes’s to You.
And Father, thank You for this crazy man who I love so dearly, who colors my life so wonderfully, & who reminds me each day that the life You dreamed for us SO long ago is SO crazy wonderful!
In Jesus name I thank You for all these things, & more – I thank You for You…
