Rodney,
Gracious God, who searches the hearts of all people and knows all of their thoughts, "create in Rodney a clean heart, O God, an dput a new and ight spirt within him. Cart him not away from Thy presence and take no Thy Holy Spirt from him. Restore to him the joy of Thy salvation and uphold him with a willing Spirt." Teach him to say with the psalmist: "Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you disuieted within him? Hope in God; for I shall again praise Him, my Help and my God." "Search him, O God, and know his heart! Try him and know his thoughts! And see if there be any sicked ways within him, and lead him in the way of everlasting." If his frustrations arise from a rebellious and dissatisfied heart, forgive him, Lord. If his restlessness arises from his failure to look to You for rest, teach him to come to Jesus with all of his cares and lay them at your feet. If thouse who dislike him suceed in making him miserable, help him to rise above this pettiness and be strong in You and in the power of Your miht. If You are testing him, give him the strenght to endure his test, for You have carried the burden of his sins for him. Help him to know the godliness with contentment that comes from You alone, for Jesus' sake. Amen
God Bless You Rodney I Will Keep You In My Prayers.
