This day begins in Jesus' Name!

Father, I am sorry for the sin I have committed. I knew my actions would be sinful, even before I acted them out. My sin began when I imagined myself doing what I know is wrong. I knew the nature of these thoughts, yet I meditated on the whole thing. The allure of this premeditated sin was more appealing than the sin manifest. Somehow You sustain me, Lord, even when I clearly deserve no mercy. How can I meddle in the enemy camp without being enslaved and tortured? I initiated the folly. I did not seek You, Lord. I was not of any good intention and yet You rescued me, even from myself. You let me know that I am forgiven. I know You love me, and I know that this thing can not go unpunished.
It is always for my benefit and for my growth that You correct me when I am wrong. I didn't go into this thing blindly, to stumble into a situation I could not get out of. The is not Your way. You would never put more on us than we are able to bear, but what of the things I put on myself? Can I overcome them, to no longer partake of the forbidden thing? I am confident that You will help me where I fall short. You will deliver me where I am bound or ensnared. You will deliver me from lustful desires to fulfill what my body longs for. Only You know how to sustain me. I know only to give You my heart and depend fully on You, oh Lord. I know no other way, and I know so very little of You. It is enough to move mountains and strengthen me to overcome that which used to overcome me. I will know no defeat, for You are my refuge and my strength! In You do I trust. Thank You for changing my life and offering me freedom, truth and purity. I accept, no matter the cost. I surrender all. I trust fully. I pray in Jesus' name, amen.

Father, I come to You in Jesus' name. I am sorry for not being all that I can be for You. I know I have sinned deliberately, and that I have brought shame to Your name. I don't want to make occasion for the world to blaspheme Your name. I don't want to be a bad example for those who may look at me as an example. I want to represent you well, as a faithful member of Your royal family. I don't want the forbidden thing. I return now to a heart of repentance and I submit to Your will. I will lift my head in confidence that You have forgiven me, and that I, even in punishment, do love You, honor You, and respect You. Lead me, oh Lord. Never give up on me. I won't stay down because You lift me up. You help me to continue. Thank You for saving me from my own destructive way. Thank You for loving me. I pray in Jesus' name, amen.

Father, I don't know what this thing is that is going on within me. My emotions are heightened, and my responses are unusual, or at least exaggerated. I know that I will get through this, and I'd like to understand it at some point, even if it becomes clear only after it has passed.

To me, it is important to understand a thing well, so that I can share with a person that is going through a situation similar to mine. At this point, Lord, I don't even know what I am going through, but I will look to You for guidance through this.

I will not utterly fear my uncertainties, but instead I will be mindful of detail as I press forward.

I pray in Jesus' name, amen.

Prayer to God

How far have I wandered from You, O Lord? Where have I lost my way? The deep things are so far from me and the simple does confuse me. My thoughts are “woe, me” and I am les in thought of You.

O Lord, how I know the delight I have when I am in awe of You. My thoughts were of You or of that which pertains to You all the day long and I have known joy because of it. How do I come back, O Lord? What must I do to be saved? How can I have assurance that I am not utterly cast off from You, Almighty God?

I must abate myself so that You can be the focus of all my day. I must not think on the troubles and the wickedness that continually surrounds me. I absolutely must think only of You and Yours. My whole heart, undivided in thought and emotion, so that my words and my actions can be acceptable as Your will be done in me.

O Lord, how excellent is Thy name in all the Earth! Precepts, commandments, laws, and statutes; of these will I meditate all my days.

Oh, how I want to praise the wonders of Your mighty love. My comfort, my shelter, You are my tower of refuge and strength. Let every breath, all that I am never cease to worship You. I think of joy for the work of Your hand. Forever I love You and serve You. Forever I’lll stand. Nothing compares to the promise I have in You. I pray in Jesus’ name, amen.

Prayer To God

Heavenly Father:

More than a storybook hero or an imaginary friend let not Your name be mocked. Show forth Your mercy and loving kindness, but also withhold NOT Your justly balanced sovereignty. Be never far from me as I walk in Your way.

In my walk, I pray Thee; order my steps in Your word. Shine Your light on me and through me to fully expose my shortcomings. Let my heart be ever ready to yield to Your divine will and keep me washed clean in Your blood – for atonement. It is my hope, Almighty God, my only hope. Thou art the Lamb without spot or blemish; sacrificed for a sin offering for me that I might not be utterly cast off from You.

My mind, my will, and my emotions – my soul is to Youward. You are my protion, that I be not without any good thing. My protion does flow overabundant, not so that one can come in to spoil, but that Your will be done one to another among us.

Sustain me in Your divine purpose, that I be not greatly moved. I am Thine, O Lord. Do with me as it pleases You. Make known Your divine purpose. Where You lead me, in all I do, I will follow. I pray in Jesus’ name, amen.

Prayer to God

O Lord:

Search me, O Lord. Let me be ever mindful of my heart, that I may search it daily. Let me now drift far from You, gradually, as a result of subtle sin and compromise. Remind me by tugging my heart when my words fall short of life and inspiration to others.

Help me, O Lord. Help me to seek You in all things, to raise my personal standards as acceptable in Your kingdom. Let my behaviors be acceptable in Your eyes and not misleading to others.

Help me to get along well with others, to be sensitive to their feelings and their needs. Permit me to see directly into the hearts of others, to know their intentions and their needs.

I will serve You, O Lord. I will focus on helping someone who demonstrates a hope for help. Help me not to trespass against the privacy of those who are not willing that I help them. Help them to establish the humility to accept help, and to open their heart to receive help.

Our help is in Your name, O Lord. We need only to utter Your name, Jesus and with courage and without shame. In all I do, I lift up Your name, Jesus. In all I do, I worship You. I pray in Jesus’ name, amen.

Prayer to God

Change my heart, O God. Lower me to a base state that You can be exalted. Work with me and through me. Kindle Your fire hot, O Lord and skim off from me the dross of all impurity. Don’t forget me in Your fire that I be not utterly cast off forever.

I am Thine O Lord. Polish me as a gem of priceless worth. Though I am but a small chunk from off the face of the earth, Thou hast carved me and put a shine upon my face.

Should I fall upon my face, O Lord, let it be to humble me, but let not the company of the enemy mock me to scorn. The wicked will cease their troubling. I will rest at Your feet, O God, as You cover me with Your feathered wing.

You make Your light to shine upon me – I open my eyes. I fall to my face. I open my heart to You fully. Your light shines through me. Your lively light searches all my being to prove me. Light is cast from my every extremity. With it go all the dark places. All the smallest secret impurity is cleansed from within me.

You are the lamp unto my feet. You are the light unto my path. If my way is not Your way, then Lord make my crooked way straight and my rough places plain.

I am Thine, O Lord. I am Thine to do with what Thou wilt. I surrender all. I pray in Jesus’ name, amen.

Prayer to God

Almighty God:

Only 3 hours after You have dealt with me about humility I done all the way opposite of what I ought to have done. I let bitterness enter my heart. I let impatience enter my heart. I let hatred and strive rule my thoughts and my words and my behaviors. I engaged in a fight against the very ones I am trying to be Your servant for.

O God, what am I to do? What shall I say then? Am I transforming, or is this whole thing for naught? What hope have I, O Lord, if I cannot live according to Your precepts? I am lain waste and my soul burns in the filth of my transgressions.

If my eye offends me… if my hands offend me…? Lord, what shall I now do? My heart does offend me. I have meditated on the wickedness instead of the hope You have to offer the wicked. How can they know that their way is fo war, and of destruction and that peace is far from them? How can they know that there is a way that is wonderful – far better then this? O Lord, what if they actually do want to be where they are? What if they actually love the poverty and ways of death?

Let me be far from this, O Lord. Let my eyes be to You, only. Fie me peace, I pray Thee, in Jesus’ name, amen.

Praise Report for Bea's Husband

Sat, 02 Jan 2010 19:48:30 +0100

I shouldn't be surprised when I see our prayers answered. The doctor's office was closed yesterday, and when my husband came back home, he was feeling a 100% better. He's still not well, but in much better shape than he was yesterday morning. All he needed was prayer.

Thanks so much for all of your prayers. Hubby ate a good supper last night and is recovering nicely.

God bless all of your for your faithfulness to God.
