How you can pray for Tim:

· that he would be a good dad and husband and encourage those members of his family who are yet to put their trust in Jesus to do so

· that he would make good use of his time, putting God at the centre of his life and ensuring that the things he puts into the diary are the things that serve Him the best and the most
