Lots of stuff to do... busy time of year...

RAVEN TEAMS~ A prayer for you:
Dear Jesus,
As we get closer to Christmas it seems like everyone is getting really busy~ help us to be still and remember that YOU alone are GOD. Forgive us if we get into the details so much and keep others from knowing YOU. Let the "stuff" we have to do GLORIFY your name~ not RAVEN, not church, not ministry, but YOU. Let us remember what YOU took upon that cross and gave us as the greatest gift of all~ YOUR LOVE~ SALVATION~ FORGIVENESS~ thank YOU that as we gear up we are still in the palm of your hand and let your will, thy perfect will be done. Thank you that the JOY of the LORD is our strength~ not the Christmas trees or the Santas~ but YOU! I lift up all the RAVEN teams around the country and world today~ I thank you that YOU know where they are right now and nothing can separate them from YOU. Draw them close, JESUS. I ask a special covering over my marriage and the marraiges of all the pastors and over all the couples associated with RAVEN today. Bless them and help us all seek the kingdom of GOD first~ keep our eyes on the cross and not wary or worry about the decisions or details. WE LOVE YOU JESUS! In the name of the FATHER, and of the SON and of the HOLY SPIRIT, AMEN.
