Prayer Journal Entry

You chose me in advance Lord. Romans 8:29 I am apart of this chosen generation. That idea Lord knots my stomach in excitement. I am apart of your plan Lord God. You love me You see beauty. You chose death so that I can live.

Romans 8:38-39 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. -KJV-

Nothing can take you away from me. You are always here filling my heart with your love. Your peace. Your gladness. Thank you Lord Jesus for the unending love. For this time with you God. For the spirit inside me that jumps at your name. I want to live by your will Father. Renew my heart for a hunger in you. Replenish it and feed it with your love. You come before all. Help me focus my time on you. Life and all its moments cloud things. You know this. Guide my direction back to you Lord.

Thank you Lord for taking my hand everyday and being with me. Even when I fail and don't make the effort to be with you. You still are there. Taking me into your arms. Thank you for your grace Father. Thank you for this love that blooms for you God. I love you! My heart feels as though it will burst with love for you. Give me this feeling daily Lord God. As a reminder of your love reigning in my life oh Lord. I love you Jesus! I love you!!

Amen

How HE loves us

Can we fathom that statement? Can we honestly begin to see how much God love us? How God sees us? I can't... I stand literally in awe of God. Speechless. I listen to a song called how he loves us and I feel like my soul is pouring out to him as I lift my hands in worship. As I cry out to the Lord just so He can see I love Him! And to realize how much I love Him doesn't even compare to how much He loves me. ME!
I drowned in His love. Everyday His hand works in my life in some way. Everyday I wake up to His brilliance and I have no words. I am so glad God knows my heart and what it feels because words do not suffice here. They don't compare to how my soul cries out to God. I get to look at my beautiful children and see God's beauty but also his blessing. His love lives in my home in the form of a 3 and a half year old and a 1 year old. They are examples of God love. Because they bring His love to a front and pour it out so innocently.
He blessed me with this life . We are so undeserving of His love. Nothing we do here on this earth can match God and yet He loves us. He knows us. He is brilliant. He is beautiful. I long for the day where I stand with God. Because that day will be better than any day here on earth.Thank you isn't enough Lord God.

Lord God thank you. For the health of my boys. Thank you for a husband who appreciates and loves me so very much. Thank you for your provision . Only through you could we have gotten over that hard season. You have brought us the joy you promised us Lord God. Thank you.. I will forever thank you for taking us into your arms daily. The time is running short Lord and I long for the day for you to come. Please use me Father in these last days as your tool. Guide me where you want me to go.

A Heavy Heart

Oh Lord God, my heart is burdened for those in my family- Close and far in heart Lord. You know all of our situations. You know our paths and our hearts. You know where this life will lead even though we don't.

I lift my mother up to you Father God for she is in need of your comfort. Shower your love and comfort upon her Lord and let her know it will be alright. Reveal to her whatever it is that is being held against her from others so that she may see and grow from it Lord. Reaffirm that my sister is yours first and you know what is going on. To put trust in that. You know how to deal with it Father even when us on the sidelines don't understand.


I lift my sister to you God. You know our situation. You know Father but she rests heavy on my heart and mind and I give her to you. Whatever it is going on with her please above all soften her heart to you. Let her seek you out. Let her see that everything is alright with you Father God. If is your will let her reach out to this family and realize we all love her. Maybe we all failed in that department growing up but the love is still there.

We are so undeserving of your love Father. Help me show your love that fills me to others.
Be with my brother Jonathan Lord heal him quickly and let the pain be minimal.

I hand my family over to you Lord and know they are in your hands

I love you Jesus

Amen

Constant State/ Prayer

It amazes me that everyday I walk with the Lord's hand in my life... Isn't that amazing? Isn't it amazing that I can always grasp that hand when I need Him. That He is always there. Family, friends, people, the human race fail us , but never God. He is constant. He is almighty. He never leaves us ... Ever... Even in the scariest moments of our lives He is right with us. I love that! I love you Lord!

I am asking for your blessing tonight as I go and be with a bunch of beautiful women who serve you Lord. Bless this meeting. Fill it with your presence and your peace. Thank you for these women Lord. Thank you for their friendship and fellowship and love for you. Thank you that we are able to meet and talk freely about you.

Please be with my close friend Father, whose going through a trial in her life. Her husband is being deployed again and it is very hard on her. Keep her strong and let her lean on you.

Bless my brother Caleb Father as he goes to the Youth Group at our church. Let your presence flood that body of believers Father and consume them. Just saturate that place with your love and Spirit Lord and rock their world!

Please be with my brother tomorrow as he goes into surgery for his mouth. I lift him up to you. Watch over him please and let the surgery go smoothly and the pain be minimal. Be with my Mother Lord God and let her get through Jonathan's surgery and recovery. Give her a renewed strength in you God.

Be with my James tonight Father. Watch over him and the boys. I know he is so exhausted. Give him the energy he needs to deal with 2 tired boy Lord. Let them be good for him and go down easily Father.

Prayer Request

Lord God, I come to you and lift up Eli to you Lord. Father, it seems he is having so many worldly issues. His sister especially is worried and I ask that you just soften his heart to your will and presence. Acknowledge you and let you reign over his heart. Whatever legal issues or unlawful run ins he is having, let him look to those in past tense and become new in you Father. Let him lean on you and realize you are the only way. Ease his sisters heart father and give her your unending peace. Help her trust that you will take care of it.

Thank you Father,

Who am I?

I am still stunned by how the Lord showers down his blessing. When I am in need He is there. When I am in distress He is my refuge. How undeserving I am. I stand in awe of his magnificence every day. Who am I to receive this love? I am no one. I am a face among the masses of faces blurred by the world. Yet, God can see my face. He can look down upon me and pick me out of the crowd.He can see me more clearly than I do. And he loves me. Me!

What a revelation to know the God loves me. I look back at who I was, wandering about lost. And like a light piercing my heart He called out to me to come to Him. Who am I to hear the voice of God? Who am I to sit the presence of the Holy Spirit and let it wash over me? I am a child of God. Do you know how amazing that is to me... Thank you Lord, for reaching out into my darkness and finding my hand. For guiding me to the places you want me. For filling me with your Spirit and washing away my despair, my shame, my sorrow. Thank you for the new person you have created. Thank you for the burning fire in my heart for you. Thank you for piercing that darkness even when I didn't acknowledge you. You were there. Always. Never forsaking me.

I am rocked by the majesty of God. The only words I truly have are, Thank you Father!
