I pray for all of my Sisters and Brothers.....

Good snowy morning my friend, as I sit writing from behind the glass I revel at the great beauty that GOD is providing this morning, it is 26 degrees out and the snow continues to fall, I love seeing the fresh morning fall before the world has had a chance to muck it up. I imagine fresh fallen snow to be somewhat like heaven, all clean and undisturbed, free from the footsteps trodden through it with careless disregard. It is clean, it is fresh, it is amazing!!!!

I pray you had a peace filled rest last night and that you have arisen with a happiness and joy in your heart. Today is another gift from GOD, as you get out and do what you have to do today I pray that you take time to acknowledge all of the beauty that GOD is providing for you today and that you take time to give thanks for HIS 24/7 work...he is always on the job making sure that you have beauty and goodness surrounding you!

If you have yet to pray this morning this is the prayer I have prayed for each of us....it is my favorite prayer and one that I say daily. Please join me if you will!!!!

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.
