My prayer for this day! Wont you please come and pray it with me??

   

 Good morning and happy Columbus day! It is a beautiful morning here, 49 degrees, blue skies and sunshine, a little breezy and the birds are HAPPILY singing a most beautiful song:) I pray this morning has found you ready to face the hurdles of life, that you morning has begun without incident and that you know there is no mountain to high for God to help us get over if it is our desire! If you seem to not be getting ahead I pray you realize that the footsteps of Christ are a straight path to our Father in Heaven!
    I want to thank you all for the prayers over the last few days for my health, the cold seems to be getting some better and I am not so fearful now that it is going into my lungs! God bless you all for taking time for me and my health! Please do pray this day for the little one who was re-hospitalized with post surgical infection, she is back in surgery this morning. Father please hold this beautiful child of yours taking away all fear, lead the surgeons hands with skill to find and repair the problem so that she is returned to 100% health, also please bless her family with peace and knowledge that you are right there with each of them and that by your hand she will be healed. In Jesus name I ask these blessings amen.

    In prayer this morning I prayed for each of you, that our Father in heaven will calm the fears and anxieties of your everyday lives, that  your problems will look smaller this morning than they did last night and that you have a renewed spirit and faith that God is on your side. I prayed, sealed the prayers us and offered them to our savior Jesus Christ so that they would be heard by our Father in heaven and I closed my prayer! I did not feel any specific words cross over me, nor any specific message come into my mind. I must admit I feel a little lost without him guiding me as to what to write! So I will close this morning with an I love you and by letting you know that I am here if you have special prayer request or need for a kind word from a friend! God is amazing, he is the beginning and the end and all the good that lies in between! Don't let negative get you down today, let positive be the only thing in your world:) God bless you all! 

My prayer for the morning!

Our kind and loving Father in Heaven,

thank you for the new day. I praise you because you make all things new. You never sleep, and you are always working, demonstrating your greatness and love to us. You cause the seasons to occur. Every morning there is sun and every evening the darkness falls.

You are so reliable, and I know that you are the God of the Bible, and you have fulfilled your promises and will fulfill your promises. You cannot lie, and you don't ever go against your nature. 

I confess to you that I don't have what it takes to be a true follower on my own. I also know how easy it is for me to take what I've been given for granted. I have been richly blessed, and I'm going to be blessed more and more because that is who you are. Just as I love to give things to my child, so you love to give things to me.

Thank you for your forgiveness and that you've never given up on me. Thank you for all the second chances. Thank you for letting me have a relationship with you. Thank you for all the things I am able to do and those I am able to do well. 

Thank you for showing me areas where I've messed up, so that I can change. 

Lord God, Heavenly Father, please help me to change. Please help all of us to see ourselves the way you see us. Please help me to be serious about temptation and to run far away from it.

Please bless our days and use me to encourage and lift up others. Help my light to shine into others, and for it not to be just a seasonal thing, but something that lasts. you give me the oil in my lamp and keep it burning. I love you Lord. You are awesome indeed.

Thank you, Jesus for loving me enough to die for my sins so that I might have eternal life!

It is in your name that I pray, 

Amen.

     

What a lazy Sunday afternoon this has been, well afternoon turned in to evening and I slept, and slept and slept some more! I hate wasting the day like this, but sometimes my old bones just need some rest and rejuvenation!!! After a 5 hours sleep I think I am rested!
      Kudos to the Houston Texans and the New Orleans Saints, both of my favorite teams winning on the same day is awesome. I pray that your day has been filled with goodness and that you were able to rejuvenate on this wonderful day of rest! I pray that those of you struggling with "life" had a day filled with signs of better things to come! I pray that if you have been praying for a miracle that you believe it will happen, that you only allow positive thoughts into your mind and block the negative!! I pray that this coming week will afford you something that will give you peace of mind and that will allow you to know how much you are loved, appreciated and needed! God is so good, with him in your life all things are possible!
     I found this prayer a long time ago and say it each Sunday evening as a hope and faith for the coming week, I share it with you tonight in hopes that if you are facing a week of unease, if you are stressed about what is to come..that you will say this prayer before you retire this night and allow the words run through your being and that when you rise in the morning you know that God has a shield of protection around you and that the new week will be filled with HOPE not DREAD. I love each of you and pray for a better day! I pray that you know that GOD has your back and through Jesus Christ all of God's promises are yours! Have a fantastic sleep, let your mind drift to times in your life that were filled with only joy and sleep in those times! When you get up in the morning, look in the mirror and tell your problems how big your GOD is, not your GOD how big your storms are! The day will look much brighter when you bully your problems with God:)
   

Lord,
A new week is beginning...
already I feel the rush.

Slow me down, Lord.


Slow me to the beat of Your heart.


I think of Your words that say
those who wait on You
will run and not grow weary--
and I remember that rest
is not about lack of motion
but rather moving forward with You
so that activity is a blessing not a burden.


I will run this week--there is much to do
but help me do so in a way
that keeps me by Your side.


Waiting and working,
only You could tie those together.


Please do so for me today.


Amen. In the name of Jesus Christ. 

We all get angry, we all get down, we all get frustrated and its okay:)

I love this day, I love sitting here listening to Reverend Al Green sing his sultry tunes, I love the fact that God loves me, that I have freedom to worship him, freedom to choose right from wrong...I guess you could say I am basically one "happy" individual! I suffer disappointment on a daily basis, I have many health problems that get me down some days, leaving me unable to get around without assistance, I have a child that lives in another state that I feel slips further and further away from me each day, I feel self pity, I get angry, I feel lost and alone sometimes, I am scared sometimes...I am normal, I feel all of the fears and concerns that come with living on this earth! BUT, when I wake up in the morning I praise God for the wake up, I thank him for giving me another day, even though I know the pain is going to be there with me, that the handful of meds I take will be a part of my every day! I thank God that I have been blessed me with a child, even though she has chosen to follow her dreams and move away, I praise God that I do get to see her ever so often. I thank God for allowing me freedom when I feel self pity, for allowing me to be able to sit in the yard without fear. I praise his holy name that I have the ability to pass over anger and replace it with calm and peace, I shout out to him when I feel alone and lost because I know he will shout back and let me know he is there, I lift my arms to the heavens and thank him when I am scared because I know that I have emotions...there is a plus to every negative..there is a rainbow at the end of the storm, we may not see every one of them but still it is there, there is a light at the end of every tunnel, we may have to wait for sunrise but it will be light! I shout to him...I love you God and thank you for the bad in my life, it sure makes me appreciate the good!
     Please join me in prayer this evening for all of those in need, for those who are struggling with life and with health, I am asking God to bless them with knowledge that if we hold fast to our faith we will receive the ultimate blessing which is to live with him in heaven! God bless each and every one of you with all that you need, with feeing his eternal love for you and with understanding....I ask these mercies and blessings in the name of Jesus Christ, amen!

As always please go to the comment section and feel free to let us know of any specific prayer requests you have, we stand ready to lift those in need in prayer many times this day! God is love, he is merciful and if we go through our savior Jesus Christ all of our prayers will be answered.
