We appreciate every prayer spoken to the Lord on our behalf as you partner with us to serve Jesus Christ and glorify Him in all things. The first paragraphs and the last paragraphs explain something to pray over as you enter into this time with us. Then each day has a special item to pray over with some statement about what we are doing on those days. Plus, there is facebook and the blog: www.TexasRivers.blogspot.com for updates. May Love be our motive in everything!

May 18 –Sunday- Depart-Thank you that we ALL love others, serve others, submit to others, forgive others, bless others, Enter through the narrow gate. 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. 21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

YOU GOD are able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine.
May 22 -Thursday- Team talks and teaching. Thank you that we all put the Lord first in everything and be humble servants, rather than Rock Stars. Thank you that we are quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry for man’s anger does not bring about the righteous life God requires.

For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
May 31 Saturday- 3 For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world.
