{Personal Entry} 10/8/22

Father God in heaven, I pray to you today with thanksgiving knowing that you are the light of life & you make all things clear. I pray for your instruction, Lord. Guide my actions today & help me to make choices that honor who you are & I pray for discernment & discipline to make those choices. Give me rest today, Father. I want to set aside my worries & fix my eyes upon you & your goodness & all the blessings I have in my life. I pray for your eyes to see the beauty around me today & give me ears to hear your voice. I want to communicate with you intimately today. I pray for your wisdom to pour itself out on me & teach & admonish me with your knowledge, Lord. Reveal yourself to me today & show me that you are near. I ask that you would hold my heart in your hands today & heal it, Father. Soften it & renew it with your breath. I pray for the Holy Spirit to move through me today, to light me up & lighten my load. I place my plans in your hands & let you establish my steps, Lord. You are my confidence & I trust your ways. I know that they are better than my own. I pray for your thoughts to mingle with my creative mind & to use my spiritual gifts for your glory. Help me to refine & fine tune my gifts today, Father. Sharpen me today with the sword of the Spirit, with your Word. Give me the patience today to keep growing & worshiping in the waiting season. I know that even though nothing “big” or exciting is happening, that you are always working & providing. I will praise you for all your amazing deeds & I will celebrate you & your victory on the cross. I know that even when I fail, it is a victory in your eyes & I will always get back up & try again. Continue to minister to my heart & help me to become the best disciple I can be. Use me to testify on your behalf, to shrine a light on your work. Give me the strength to keep moving forward & walking in your ways. I pray you you would send the Holy Spirit upon my family today. Show them that you are near & that you see them & love them & want them. I pray for their salvation & that you would use me to bring them closer to you. I pray that they would lay down their life at the foot of the cross & live for you instead of for their own fleshy desires. I pray that you would protect them from the enemy & that you would bring order to the disorder & establish a firm foundation on Jesus Christ. I pray that you would continue to heal our bloodline & break every generational curse in the beautiful & mighty name of Jesus Christ. I pray that you would break every chain & free us all from the snares of sin. I thank you Father, for being to me a father when I lost mine & for making me your daughter. I pray that my family would be born again & I pray that they wound become children of the Most High. Thank you for saving my soul & leading me back to your arms. I feel so safe here with you, Lord. I am so grateful for your peace that abounds in my life. That has been the greatest gift of all. I’ve longed for this serenity & contentment in my life since I was a child. I cast my anxieties onto you because I know that you care for me, Father. Thank you for your living water that quenches my thirst & fills me full of joy. I pray that everyone would get a taste of your fruit, Father & that they would hunger for you & your Spirit. I pray that you would heal the hearts of the broken & you would put them back together again & they would honor & glorify your name for all generations to come & you would fill the hearts & homes of all who hope in you. I love you Lord, with all my heart, all my soul, & all my mind. I pray this all in the beautiful & mighty name of Jesus Christ.

Amen

“Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.”

‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭5:6-10‬
