Colossians 1:9-12
9And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, 10so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God. 11May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy, 12giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.
Father,
Please continue to give Stevo and Sarah wisdom and understanding concerning your plans for them and their children in Croatia. Give them wisdom to know what you have for them to do and understanding to carry it out daily in big and small ways. Help them to reflect You in everything that they do.
Keep them honest in a culture where so much is done under the table. May their honesty show that You can be trusted even when the consequences are unfair. Our actions show people much more about who You are than our words ever could.
Lord, keep Stevo and Sarah and Nina, Datci, and Marco close to You, keep them in Your word. Remind them to norish themselves even when, especially when, daily life can be so demanding. Give them strength and health so that they can endure the hardships and inconviences and unexpected events with joy because they know that nothing is unexpected to You, that You know already know the days that lie ahead of them and that you have already provided for them, that they will have what they need, when they need it.
Most of all, fill them with thankfulness for their salvation in Christ because we know that it's for this reason that You have called them to Croatia, so that others will also share in the eternal inhertitance that You have so graciously bestowed upon us!
Amen.
