OH MYLANTA, how could I forget to publish and share this???? It is so worth sharing:)

Good morning and a happy Thursday to you!!! It is going to be a hot one here in Utah today and for the next 7 days, they are saying 100 plus...I am so very thankful for this little window unit we have in our apartment, I only pray it will chug, chug, chug right along and continue to give us cool from the heat:) 

In prayer this morning as I sat out on the porch watching the world wake up, I was thinking how in the world can such a pleasant morning turn into such a scorching day, there is a rhyme and reason in it but I be darned if I know what it is...The think that makes me saddest is that Wayde has to drive the 35 miles home without air conditioning, sitting in the afternoon rush hour causes him to be miserable and be completely worn out by the time he makes it home, I am just so thankful that he has a cool home to come to, I try and make sure it is very comfortable for him when he come in the door! I was thinking about the "ughs" of life, the heat, the cold, the lack of  and I began to feel God's message for today rise up inside of me....Many of you know I pray a lot, I pray anytime someone asks of course but I also pray when not asked, when I see where there is need I literally stop what I am doing and I ask for God to make provision....When I write that I am praying, it is not mere words typed out on a page, I really am praying and asking God with your specific name to see and to bless. As I sat thinking of some time I spent praying with a mom who is losing her son, I thought about all that I have to be thankful for, I felt so much pain in my heart and wondered what I would do if this were happening to my child, my heart became so heavy and a lump formed in my throat and I sobbed with her, at first there were no words to be said, we just cried together, I asked God to place his perfect words on my lips so that I could touch this ladies heart and allow her to feel HIS deepest love and caring for her and HE did, after we cried we prayed and prayed and prayed, the only way I can describe what came from me was that it was heaven sent, as the words in prayer were spilling from my mouth I became amazed as they were words that were not coming from my brain, no thought out words, just words coming from my heart. At the end of the prayer this mother had regained her strength, had gained some grit and was ready to stand on her feet and finish with the task of the transition, she said she had not been strong enough to whisper the words "it is okay my son, take God's hands and follow him to the gates. We will be okay, we know your spirit will never leave us and we know that one day you will be waiting at the gate to welcome us in" I know that God blessed her with these feelings and that HE will not allow her to fall down without being there to gently lift her into his arms and hold her until she once again feels this strength. Thank you Father God for always guiding me in the direction that will make the most impact and that will heal a broken heart. 

This my friends is proof of God, can it be explained any other way...NO...let HIM work though you today and quit trying to do it and say it on your own, ask him to come into your heart and fill it with the words that HE needs to be heard, YOU will be amazed!!!

Today I would like to share my favorite prayer with you, it touches the needs of most...and I pray it will touch yours and be an abundant blessing to you! YOU are loved!!!!

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.
