My Father

Dad,

Thank you for everything that you have given me, thank you for life, the ability to walk , talk, read, speak, learn, have relationships, have children. thank you for your scriptures that guide me, thank you for my wife, my friends, my home, my church, my ability to express the joy i have for you. Thank you for letting me live to see another day, thank you for this blog that helps me get in touch with what I'm feeling inside. Thank you for calling me out of darkness into you wonderful light. Thanks for blessing me in all the ways you have this far. Thank you for the Y workers who help with my children, thank you for giving me a heart to be open with my feelings.

Father, I don't know your plans for me but I hope that I can live them out just as you desire, I get scared at times when things aren't going the way i want them too and I get anxious because i want to work faster than you have planned. Grant me the faith to wait on you. You have blessed me in so many ways but yet I don't trust you all the time. Help me with my unbelief and my faith to wait on you. Lord I'm asking you to Deliver me from the turmoil in my mind that grips me with fear. Help me see that my thinking is mostly my pride and that I can trust that just as the scriptures say " look at the birds of the air they do not sow or reap or stow away in barns, yet you feed them" that you will continue to feed me.

Lord I have a lot of thoughts that Satan is putting in my head and I'm ASKING this morning that you block his efforts to sift me. Block his powers in the world today as I go out and glorify you. Father I ask that you forgive me of my sins and deliver me from the temptations that come my way. Transform my mind today to think of heavenly things and not worldly things.

God I love you and need you in my life. Bless me!

P.S. I want the Job you have planned for me, please make it clear what that is!

  1. Your prayer helps me a ton today! I feel consumed with agitation, fear and the desire to not fight for our rights. Kelly was in a car accident in July, totally the other guy's fault. Allstate took 100% responsibility. She has been in Physical Therapy since July. The bills were being paid directly from Allstate. They reached the $5000 limit and they stopped paying the bills. Yesterday we received a notice that they want reimbursement for what they have paid. I'm feeling a ton about it! It is not righteous or fair! I have been reading Romans and today was chapter 5. Suffering producing perseverance, producing character, producing hope, which will not disappoint us. Then your prayer....so much gratitude! And a huge request that God protect you. I don't want to deal with going to a lawyer and taking on a fight. I don't want to spend our family time or energy fighting for that. But Kelly deserves to be taken care of by a system that is in place for her, the one who got hit. So I join you in being grateful.... that it wasn't worse and that I have the strength emotionally to deal with this. May God bless your day today and may you stay focused and grateful. It sure has helped me today!!

  2. Your prayer helped me ALOT today. Seeing how grateful and faithful I need to be with God. Showing me to rely on GOd totally and being grateful for EVERYTHING we are given. I am going through alot right now and seeing how something I am going through is so not what I ever imagined I would have to see myself going through, I just realized today that God is using it to help someone else to possibly know God. Now I just need to be totally and opening grateful and put myself out there to reach this person in their time of need to share my life.

    Thanks for sharing!
