Prayer for "The Bridge"

Abba Father,

Thank you for your fingers prints all around the world. The hints of you in the mountains,  in the smile of students, in the coming spring, in the splash of mud, in all things. I praise you because we were all fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful I know that fully well. 

I humbly enter your presents with Thanksgiving in my heart and praise you for who you are! I stand in awe of who you are and the power in your name.

I come before you for "The Bridge". I thank you that you have sparked a dream in someones heart to start such a wonderful organization. I thank you that there are so many supporters using their talents to glorify your name. I first pray for the finances of this organization. Lord I thank you that there are so many supporters, but lord I ask for a double fold increase! Expand this organization and their ability to serve in your name. Next Lord I lift us the women and children affected by domestic violence and homelessness. I pray for comfort in their lives for a  peace that passes all understanding that will guard their hearts and minds. I also claim to your promise that when the enemy comes in like a flood you will set up a standard, hedge of protection and we lay claim to that now for all who are at the Bridge, for the staff, the Red Letter Festival participants, and all the homeless and struggle with domestic abuse here in Japan! My heart breaks that there would be people who could bring violence of many kinds against your children so I just pray for added peace for those who are affected in NW Iowa but also in Japan. The villages here that live under bridges who have all their belongings with them and a wonderful smile on their faces! Lord, may you name be proclaimed in all of their lives that through you peace would come to broken hearts, minds who have been worn by the evil devises of the devil, and bodies who ache from violence physically, emotionally, and spiritually! Lord, I just praise you that you have set a wonderful staff there at The Bridge who take the time to set up bible studies and training sessions and simply show these people your love! I pray that you would gird them up with strength- that they would be filled with your light and renewed by your love so they can pour themselves out to you! Lord I just thank you for the Red Letter Festival and pray a special blessing on all their venues that funding would come in, and that your name would be Glorified! For none of this is possible without your unending, abundant mercy, love, and peace lavished on us! You alone be glorified in everything and that nothing we do is out of selfish ambition but only to bring you glory! TO GOD BE THE GLORY FOREVER AND EVER AMEN!
