Prayer Request for our son, 2nd Lt Matthew Sanders, USAF – 2/20/2011

Prayer request for our son, Matt Sanders, who is going through USAF Fighter Pilot training. Pilot training is the hardest and most challenging training in the military and we ask you to join us to lift Matt up in prayer with all of our heart, soul, mind, devotion, commitment, passion, hope and faith in Christ.

Father we pray in complete and total faith, that Your Will, Plan and all of Your blessings will be poured out unto Matt as he faithfully expects Your supernatural help to overcome the attacks from the enemy with his human emotions, thoughts when he is weak and physical reactions to flying at incredible speeds and maneuvers, as well as, the challenges of overwhelming requirements of study and knowledge required in this program. We join him in faithful prayer and look to You Father to bring Matt through this training with the strength of David, as he faced Goliath, and You blessed him with Victory. Cover and bless Matt with Your power, strength, and victory including the comfort, wisdom, and security only Your Holy Spirit can provide.

Bless us to remember to pause for just a moment and think…..

Bless us with the ability to take a few minutes to think about where we are in life, our desires and the challenges we face. In our best effort and by our own abilities we can find ourselves weak in the face of some challenges. We know and understand that only Your supernatural blessing will bring us to victory in all our circumstances.

We know with You in our life, we can rise above and overcome even the most difficult situations with just a little faith and by simply calling Your name.

We call Your name, “Jesus Jesus Jesus” and immediately we experience a moment of peace, calmness and serenity. We know this is because Lord Jesus, You truly hear each of us when we call Your name.

We are strongest (and Your Power is strongest in us) when we are at our weakest points in life. We expect the strength of Your “Life” in us and we can always receive it just by calling Your name.

We know immediately our situation will begin to change. We will notice a positive attitude is immediately in our thoughts and we begin to think clearly, overcome our weaknesses and make right decisions.

Christ Jesus, by Your Will and Your Plan for us, You have graciously blessed us to hear, understand, and have complete and total faith in your word:
