Keep me uplifted that I may have words of encouragement for others

Good morning all, its a beautiful day in the neighborhood...the sun is shining~~~the wind is blowing~~~the skies are clear and blue~~~the birds are singing~~~and there is joy, joy, joy in my heart. I pray you are waking up and taking time to see the beauty that God has made just for you, that you are taking time this morning to sit and take in this wonderful gift. Take some YOU time today to honor yourself, take some time today to honor God and take some time today to allow those who live in your heart the knowledge that you love them!!! Remember yesterday is gone forever, tomorrow is yet to be but today is the truth, the "real" and the only chance you might get to let your love be known...don't waste a single second in the negative...

I pray the same prayer every morning and add in all those who have come to me with prayer requests, this morning we are praying loudly for the little baby girl who came into this world without a heartbeat, she was revived but not in time to save her brain. Her little soul has gone back home to sit in the lap of our Lord and now we are asking God to take her body so that this family can have closure and can begin to heal in their hearts. Please lift prayer with me this morning for peace for this family, for comfort in their hearts and calm in their minds. 

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.
