S - 1 Samuel 12:16 David begged God to spare the child. He went without food and lay all night on the bare ground... 22 David replied, “I fasted and wept while the child was alive, for I said, ‘Perhaps the Lord will be gracious to me and let the child live.’”
O - Because of the adultery that David committed, God told David that his son would die. When he became sick, David prayed fervantly and persistently all the while fasting and laying before God. He did this because he so desired that God would change His mind and save his son.
A - There are things in my life that I too need to pray fervantly and persistently for and be committed to fasting and looking for the Lord to move and carry out this desire. Three areas that I need to do this with is for the protection and blessing on my wife and children, for blessings on Christa and my marriage, and for strength and courage to be the man, husband and father that my wife, children, and others need me to be to lead, provide, and protect them.
P - God I come to you today to worship you. You are everything to me and I kneel before you and your goodness. Thank you for your forgiveness for my sins and the wrong that I have done to others. I pray that you bless Christa and my children. Help them and guide them to be who you desire them to be and protect them each and every day. I pray a blessing and protection over our marriage. I pray that it is strong and tied in so tigthly with you and completely blessed. Help me to be that man, father and husband that my family so desperately desires. To be a man that not only has fun and brings joy and happiness but that also focuses on the important things in life and teaches and directs his family toward you and the things that you have called us to be. Give me the strength, courage, and faith to do these thing and to overcome any fear or doubt that may try to creep in. Bless my family and me today.
