A praise report that stil has me in tears and filled with so much love:)

good afternoon, I know I am so late getting this going today and have such a huge praise report for you!!! 

I have been painting again, thanks to my grandson and his first birthday and me having no money to buy him a special birthday present, I dug my old paints out and began to create for him a gift made with love! After a friend saw what I had painted she asked if I could paint one for her grandson. I did and it was very well received....yesterday as I was painting I would post pictures every now and then and by the end of the job several people told me I should sell them. This morning I put out a post on facebook to see if anyone would be interested in ordering a custom painted bit of work and I have just received my first two orders. I am so very excited that I will be able to put some income into our household! 

God is so good people, I have gone to bed so many nights and my prayers be that God make a way for me to be able to help Wayde with our finances....I have begged God to bless me with this and today it is getting a bit closer to me feeling worthy and that I am a helpmate to my hubby! 

I would love to have each of you pray with me today, there are so many in this world who are going through such hard times, so many who are suffering their own hardships and so many who fee that God has stepped away from them...This is my most favorite prayer as it touches the heart of so many. I love each of you and thank you for coming and sharing with me in my blog, it is such a gift to be able to have the abilities and freedoms to openly praise our Father in heaven....

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 and 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 every day 

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.  

Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control over.  

Let me continue to see sin through God's eyes

and acknowledge it as evil.  

And when I sin, let me repent, and confess 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, You listen to my heart.

Continue to use me to do your Will. 

Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others.

Keep me strong that I may help the weak.

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 that will read this and not use this in their lives.

I pray for those that will delete this without sharing it with others.

I pray for those that don't believe.  But I believe.

I believe that God changes people and God changes things.

I pray for all my sisters and brothers.

This is my prayer; I pray in Jesus' name.

Amen.
