Praying with the Right attitude about God


Our Father – I know I can speak freely and personally to you as my heavenly Father.



Hallowed – I long for people to honor you as holy.




Your Kingdom Come – I long for your eternal victory over evil.




Your Kingdom Come – I long for your eternal victory over evil.

Your will be done…as in heaven – I want your will, not my own

The turning point of prayer is when we stop praying for what we want now and start praying for what God wants forever.

Forgiveness after murderDavey & Amanda Blackburn

My hope is for 3 things in the weeks and months to come:

(1) That the court system would have wisdom on how to prosecute this man, so that no one else endures the pain Amanda and our family have… (2) That … he (the killer) would even begin to experience the life-transforming power of the Grace and Mercy of Jesus Christ.

(3) That Jesus would give me and our family a heart of forgiveness. Though everything inside of me wants to hate, be angry, and slip into despair I choose the route of forgiveness, grace and hope. …Today I am deciding to extend forgiveness, not bitterness... By Jesus' power at work within us, the best is STILL yet to come. Even when I don't see it, I believe it to be true.
