August 29 (Day 19) — Thursday. Pray for the Owen family, as widely separated as we’ve ever been in this life. Todd in Papua New Guinea, Angela and girls in South Dakota, Samuel in Missouri, Andrew holding down the fort in Florida. God has given each of us different assignments for this period of time and has also given us the resources to carry out his intentions for each of us in our various places. Ask God to place his hand of blessing upon each of us and grant us each influence and voice in each situation we find ourselves in. Especially pray that as we interact with others, that those with whom we have to do will be drawn to Jesus through our words, our actions, our mercy, our fortitude. Pray that Jesus’ name will be held in high esteem.
