Good morning, God!
You are so good, Lord! holy holy to the lord God Almighty! thank you for beings so merciful and full of grace. we don't deserve it at all, but you offer us forgiveness! what an awesome God you are. blessed be the name of God forever and ever.
oh Lord, forgive me for all the times I've fallen short. i'm sorry for my selfish thoughts and desires. they're always surrounding me, and I struggle battling against them. but I should just trust in you. instead of battling by myself, I need to learn to trust you more. you will lead me in the path of righteousness, and you are the one who can help me to stop sinning. not I, but You Lord. I can't do it by myself. Lord, forgive the times I've been snappy at people, or the times I've gossiped. thank you for giving me a group of friends in which we don't like to gossip about each other, but it's still hard not to about other people. please help us.
thank you for everything, Lord! you have blessed me beyond compare!! my family is so great, I want for nothing, I have food for my stomach, I have an education and am getting even more, I am clothed and housed and have friends. oh God, how undeserving I am of these things! yet you have so blessed me and my family!! the only way I know how to repay you is to live for you. you are deserving of all my praise. you are deserving of all my LIFE. "Blessed be the name of God forever and ever. for wisdom and might are His! and He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those who have understanding. He reveals deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness, and light dwells in Him. I thank you and praise you, o God of my fathers; you have given me wisdom and might, and now made known to me what I asked of you, for you have made known" to me your voice! (Dan 2:20-23). What a perfect, awe-inspiring God you are!! to YOU be the glory and honor and might forever and ever! Amen!!
\Oh Jesus, help poor Bryce. If these are her last weeks, be with her and comfort her. encourage her to open your word and get to know you more before she joins you. please, God, be with her family. what a hardship to overcome! thank you, THANK YOU, for giving them warning of this. o God, help Bryce to leave this earth quietly and without excess pain, with love and joy of soon entering your presence surrounding her. strengthen her family. help them to handle these last weeks stupendously and with strength. help them to show Bryce how much they love her, and urge Bryce to show them how much she loves them before she leaves. help kaylin to not do anything she will regret. help her to break down her bitterness -- if only for these last weeks! -- and get to know her sister and love her more before it's too late. o Jesus, be with them!! encourage her parents; may they know that she's in a better, happier, pain-free place! help them to love you even more after this -- even if it takes a little while for them to get there.
Lord, I also pray for the daily needs of Haley, Kelly, connor, hunter, Katrina, dad, and mom. help them to stay healthy and help mom to feel better today. please help my mom to feel better! she's been so sick. even if I still don't get to go home this weekend, help her to feel better. help haley and Kelly in their classes and with homework/boredom. help all of the lonely people on campus to remember that you are with them. help Courtney today. may I encourage her and bring her some joy. Jesus, be with connor and hunter. help them to do amazingly in their classes and to have a good day. help Katrina with her classes and give her the strength to make it through today. help her to make more friends where she is. help her to feel fellowship at her church, and show her when and when not to talk. finally, be with my dad today. help him to recognize you in the things done around him. bring him back to you, Lord. show him how great you are. help him to start loving you more than he loves me or my mom or my siblings. may his new job go really well, and help him to work well with his coworkers.
and Lord, be with me today. help me in my class to do stupendously on the quizzes and to help others do well, too. help me to learn a lot and to take good notes during lecture. help me to be an instrument for your use today, Jesus! may I be your ambassador on earth. help me to memorize the important truths I've learned from chuck white. especially for preparing me to be a teacher. Lord, dr. newhouse advised me to let doors open and close so that I may do your will, and I ask for your strength. if you don't want me to go into teaching, but rather you're leading me into a different profession involving science, please direct me. I still feel as though the best way for me is teaching, but you are infinitely wise, and you know where I can do the best work for your kingdom. lead me there, Jesus. help me through this upcoming semester. it's gonna be rough, but I pray that I make it through with really good grades. the only way I can do that is with you, my Lord. open my mind to the truths and concepts. help me to learn them quickly and memorize them easily. help me to appreciate the truths as Your truths, knowing that this is how you've made the world. thank you for giving me this chance at spring arbor. give me the strength to make it through this semester. i'll need it! haha, you are God, Lord, Majestic King, and you can help me. without it, I will fail. with it, I can succeed beyond my own hopes and dreams. you are God, King of kings, Lord of lords. may your will be done.
equip me, today, Lord, with joy. with the joy of your presence. stay with me Holy Spirit. keep me company when i'm lonely; give me your wisdom when dealing with people and situations; give me your love when spending time with others. may I remain your humble slave, Jesus. you are so great. so soso great. please help me to remain humble. I know that's kind of a risky thing to ask, cause who knows what you'll do to keep me humble! but I pray for it all the same. equip me with your love, Jesus. may I love people as much as you do -- even half as much would suffice! Lord, I know that as soon as I end this prayer and time with you, temptations are going to hit me hard. hard hard. i'm going to walk over to Kelly's room and suddenly feel, not love, but annoyance against her, so horrible am I. and today i will probably struggle expressing your love to others. God, I pray for help. you say that there's nothing we are so tempted to do that there's no way out. you say you'll provide help against satan. Lord, I pray for that help. I cannot live for you under my own supervision. i need you. without you, i'll be one of those cranky, annoying Christians. no, i need you. be with me, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit.
to you be the glory, honor, and praise forever! your will be done!!
Amen!
