DEAR LORD - a prayer



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 God and an 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 that are of You. Let me not whine and whimper over
 things I have no control over.


Let me continue to see sin through Your eyes and acknowledge it as evil. 
And when I sin, let me repent, and confess with my mouth 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 
out loud, You listen to my heart.


Continue to use me to do Thy Will. Continue to bless me that I may be
 a blessing to others. Keep me strong that I may help 
the weak and unsaved.


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 who don't know You intimately.


I pray for those that will only read this and not speak this aloud 
in their own lives. I pray for those that will delete this without 
sharing it with others. I pray for those that don't believe ... 
But I thank you that I believe.


I believe that You change people, and I pray for all my sisters 
and brothers. For each and every family member in their households. 
I pray for peace, love and joy in their homes that they are out of debt 
and all their needs are met.


I pray that every eye that reads this knows there is no problem, 
circumstance, or situation greater than You, Lord. 
Every battle is in Your hands for You to fight. 
I pray that these words be received into the hearts of every eye 
that sees them and every mouth that confesses them willingly.


This is my prayer.

In Jesus' Name,

AMEN.
