God, you always place us in the right place for the right time, yet it is for your purposes to be revealed in our lives. As Mark has served faithfully in the past, I pray you would lead him in the future. For your word says, I know the plans that I have for you….. So we trust you and surrender, we push and work hard, but know that your love is at work. I pray that you be with Mark and his family, bless him and keep him, shower him with grace and mercy, like a dove that comes to rest, let him find rest for him and his family in you.
