Dear Father in Heaven,

I just want to see that guy right through for Yourself, everything 
surrendered, so I lift Chris up to You right now and ask for your wondrous 
mercy and tender, loving care, more grace and a stirring in his heart that 
he cannot deny.  Show him, dear Lord, that You are the one he can and must 
trust.

May Your Name be glorified in his life very soon.

AMEN
