My Prayer

Saturday, March 28, 2009

Dear Lord,
 
I thank you for this day. I thank you for my being able 
to see and to hear this morning. 
I'm blessed because You are a forgiving God and an 
understanding God. You have done so much for me 
and You keep on blessing me. Forgive me this day for  
I have sinned. I ask now for Your forgiveness.
 
Keep me safe from all danger and harm. 
Let me start this day with a new attitude and plenty 
of gratitude. Let me make the best of each and 
everyday and give my best in all that is put before me.
 
Clear my mind that I can hear from You. 
Broaden my mind that I can accept all things that are
of You. Let me not whine and whimper over things I 
have no control over.
 
Let me continue to see sin through Your eyes and 
acknowledge it as evil. And when I sin, let me repent,
and confess with my mouth my wrong doing, and 
receive the forgiveness of God.
 
And when this world closes in on me, let me remember
Jesus' example to slip away and find a quiet place 
to pray. It's the best response when I'm pushed beyond 
my limits. I know that when I can't pray out loud,
You listen to my heart.
 
Continue to use me to do Thy Will. Continue to bless 
me that I may be a blessing to others. Keep me strong 
that I may help the weak and unsaved.
 
Keep me uplifted that I may have words of 
encouragement for others. I pray for those that are 
lost and can't find their way. I pray for those that are 
misjudged and misunderstood. I pray for those who 
refuse to share a word from You. I pray for those who 
don't know You intimately.
 
I believe that You change people, and I pray for all
my sisters and brothers. For each and every family
member in their households, I pray for peace, love 
and joy in their homes that they are out of debt 
and all their needs are met.
 
I pray that every eye that reads this knows there 
is no problem, circumstance, or situation greater 
than You, Lord. Every battle is in Your hands for 
You to fight. I pray that these words be received 
into the hearts of every eye that sees them and 
every mouth that confesses them willingly.
 
In Jesus' Name we pray, Amen.
