Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. (Philippians 3:12)
Jesus, thank you for laying hold of me; please help me to press on in you.
Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, (Philippians 3:13)
Holy Spirit, please help us let go of old wounds and reach forward to what you have for us.
I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:14)
Father, please help us press on to answer your upward call in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you. Nevertheless, to the degree that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us be of the same mind. (Philippians 3:15-16)
Jesus, please bring us to a quiet common mind in you in this diocese. Thank you for Bishop Bill’s witness to the truth of the gospel and the witness of Spricture.

A word received 5/1/2009: Pray for wisdom for Bishop Bill and for all the leaders and teachers of the diocese. Pray for wisdom to see and take the correct path. Pray for the wisdom to turn to me in times of trouble. Pray for the fire of my Holy Spirit to light the way for this diocese.
A word received (12/27/2007): Pray for my people — their hearts are filled with anger towards one another. Pray that they will relent of their anger and know that they are just as much in need of my mercy as those they are angry with. Pray for my people to know my “Amazing Grace”. I want this to be heart knowledge, head knowledge, spirit knowledge. I want my people in every part of their lives to know their own personal need for redemption. There is not one — no not one — who can be justified by his own righteousness. The Episcopal Church on all sides is awash with self-righteousness that leads to death.
