During Turkey Outreach, MBC Loudoun encountered a couple that really tugged on our heart. When their baby was born last month, our church community rallied to gather baby supplies for them. We want to continue to lift them up in prayer.

Heavenly Father, thank you for your many blessings. Thank you for the safe delivery of Adelaide and Derek’s son Ashton. Thank you for allowing a humble group of sinners but followers of You to be part of your plan in blessing the little guy’s beginning.

Thank you Lord for the blessing that has been the outpouring of support for this young family. You know Father, the gifts, the prayers, the desire to encourage that has been offered by so many. Thank You for working in our hearts and lives, thank You for inspiring us to share You with others.

Help us to always realize Lord, that this is about You and bringing awareness of you to an unknowing population and for those who do know You, to show them your love, grace and mercy. Thank you for allowing us to be your ambassadors, your hands and feet and your heart Lord. Help us to continue to reach out to them as You would have us do Lord, not of our own volition or motivation but because You are prompting and leading. Thank you for the blessing that the volunteers have been who have offered in addition to the needs, they have offered home visits, encouragement visits, visits to set up some of the items that were received. Thank you for the loving and giving hearts of our church community that always so faithfully answer the call to assist.

Lord may our efforts fall on receptive hearts. You above all else know this young couples hearts… you know their needs, their hopes and their fears. Help guide us as we seek to make them aware of You. Help us to continue to step out of our comfort zones to be the servants for You that we need to be…that will boldly proclaim Your name in word AND deed. Bless this young family Lord as they start out with so many hurdles ahead of them. May their home not just be filled with love for each other and this new blessing but may their hearts become more aware and grow in their love for You.

Help them to see Lord that these gifts, these efforts are all from You as You seek to grow a relationship with them as You do with all of us Lord. Please protect and guide this young family Lord and create in us hearts that see things as you see them and love as you would love and provide as you would provide Lord.

Help us Lord, to always remain faithful to You, help us to have the courage to go wherever You call us, to be whatever You call us to be and to Love all of those You call us to love.

In Jesus’ Name…… Amen.
